Furniture legs
Replacing worn legs or giving an older chest of drawers a fresh look doesn't require buying a new piece of furniture. Wooden furniture legs lift a cabinet or side table off the floor, which makes cleaning easier. A turned or carved shape also adds a decorative detail, and the natural wood can be varnished or stained to match the rest of your furniture. For metal chairs and tables with tubular legs, leg caps protect the floor from scratches.
Furniture legs
The height and shape of the legs affect how a piece of furniture looks in a room and how easy it is to clean underneath. Furniture legs are used on chests of drawers, cabinets, shoe cabinets, coffee tables and smaller tables, and they come in handy both for repairing a damaged piece and for renovating older furniture. Taller legs make a solid chest of drawers look lighter, while shorter ones bring the furniture closer to the floor.
The most common are legs made of solid wood. Turned models with rounded details and carved legs with floral or relief patterns suit classic and rustic furniture, and smooth cylindrical, round or square shapes fit simple, modern interiors. Light natural wood with visible grain can be left untreated or varnished, stained or painted before fitting so that it matches the rest of the furniture. Small metal corner feet are designed for wooden boxes and jewellery boxes, lifting them above the table surface.
When choosing, the most important factor is the leg height, which for wooden models ranges from roughly 5 to 20 cm. All the legs under one piece of furniture should be the same height so that it stands level and the load is spread evenly. For heavier pieces, such as a full chest of drawers or a wardrobe, sturdier legs with a wider contact surface are a better choice, whereas slim turned shapes suit lighter side tables. Before buying, it is worth measuring the original leg and the spot where the new one will be fixed, and checking the diameter of the top part that rests against the underside of the furniture.
Metal chairs, tables and stools with tubular legs call for leg caps made of soft PVC. They slide over the end of the tube without glue, cover the sharp edge and protect parquet, laminate and tiles from grooves and scratches when furniture is moved. The inner diameter of the cap must match the outer diameter of the tube, so it is a good idea to measure the leg with a calliper before choosing.
