Choosing the Perfect Legs

Whether you are looking to build a grand 12 seater dining table or upcycle a tired cabinet, this guide will help you find the ideal match for your project.

Key Considerations

When selecting the ideal table legs, we recommend prioritising the following criteria, listed in their order of importance.

Height

Work surface heights and relation to seating are important considerations for projects where you intend to work or eat at the furniture. In other cases, height might be aesthetically determined with a specific look and feel in mind.

Strength & Stability

While legs certainly need to be strong to be safe, stability should not be forgotten as an equally important metric. When intending to work or eat on the furniture, aiming for a rock solid high quality feel should be paramount and choosing the right legs for the project in question to achieve this.

Difficult Materials

Attaching legs to something like glass or stone poses some different challenges. While these can be solved across most products in different ways, choosing the right legs can make things easier.

Environment

While all legs are suitable for general indoor use, more consideration is required for harsher environments including outdoor, wetrooms, commercial and coastal.

Finish & Colour

While colour in itself is a design led choice, different colours and finishes do have different performance and make themselves more or less suitable for different use cases.
