FAQs
What is Ski-Glide technology?
Ski-Glide technology refers to the design of the leg base which allows furniture to slide effortlessly across surfaces with minimal friction, protecting floors from scratches.
How many screws do I need per leg?
Each leg has three mounting points (prongs), so you will need at least three screws per leg. It is recommended to use screws appropriate for your furniture material and thickness.
Can I paint or refinish these legs?
Yes, the raw steel can be painted or refinished. It is recommended to clean and lightly sand the surface before applying paint or a sealant for best adhesion.
What is the weight capacity of these legs?
While a specific weight capacity is not provided, the raw steel construction is designed to be very strong and suitable for heavy-duty furniture applications.
Do the legs come with screws?
No, the screws are not included with the legs. You will need to purchase appropriate screws separately based on the thickness and type of material you are attaching them to.
Are these legs suitable for outdoor furniture?
These legs are made of raw steel and are best suited for indoor use. If used outdoors, they must be thoroughly sealed to prevent rust and corrosion due to exposure to the elements.
Troubleshooting
Legs are wobbly after installation
Ensure all screws are tightened securely into the furniture surface. Verify that the furniture surface is level and that the legs are not mounted on an uneven plane. Check that all three prongs of each leg are fully engaged with the surface.
Rust spots appearing on the legs
This can occur if the raw steel is exposed to moisture. Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth. Apply a clear coat sealant or furniture wax to the entire leg surface to provide protection against rust and corrosion.
Difficulty moving furniture despite Ski-Glide technology
Ensure the Ski-Glide surface is clean and free of debris. Check that the legs are installed perfectly vertically and that the furniture is balanced. If the floor surface is uneven, the glide may be less effective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your furniture surface is clean and free of debris.
- Align the 3-prong mounting plate of the leg with your desired position on the underside of the furniture piece.
- Using appropriate screws (not included), securely fasten each prong to the surface. Ensure screws are long enough to grip but do not penetrate the top surface.
- Repeat for all four legs, ensuring they are evenly spaced for optimal stability.
Compatibility:
These legs are compatible with a wide variety of materials, including solid wood, plywood, MDF, and even repurposed tabletops. They are best suited for flat surfaces where the 3-prong plate can be securely fastened. Ensure the material is thick enough to accommodate the screws without splitting or compromising integrity.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and prevent rust, it is recommended to seal the raw steel legs. A clear coat spray or furniture wax can be applied. Clean the legs periodically with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, especially if the legs have not been sealed, to prevent corrosion.
