While specific weight capacities vary based on the installation and the material of the tabletop, these are considered some of the toughest and strongest hairpin legs available, suitable for most standard furniture projects when properly installed.
Each pack contains four hairpin legs.
While it is possible to paint over the black finish, it is not recommended as it may affect the durability and appearance. The finish is designed to be long-lasting.
The type of screws depends on your tabletop material. For wood, wood screws are recommended. Ensure they are long enough to securely grip the tabletop but not so long that they penetrate the visible surface.
These legs are designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may cause rust or damage to the finish.
356mm refers to the height of the leg, measured from the mounting plate to the bottom of the leg.
Ensure all screws are fully tightened into the furniture surface. Check that the furniture surface itself is flat and stable. For heavier applications, consider adding central bracing or using more screws per leg plate.
Pre-drilling pilot holes slightly smaller than your screws can help. Ensure you are using screws appropriate for the thickness and density of your tabletop material.
The Ski-Glide is designed for durability, but excessive friction or abrasive cleaning could affect it. If performance degrades, ensure there is no debris trapped and consider if the surface is suitable for the leg's intended glide.
Setup:
Installation typically involves screwing the legs directly into the underside of your furniture piece. Ensure you have the appropriate screws for your material (wood, particle board, etc.) and a screwdriver or drill. Align the leg plates with your desired placement and secure each leg firmly.
Compatibility:
These legs are compatible with a wide range of materials for tabletops, including solid wood, plywood, MDF, and even stone slabs (ensure appropriate fixings). They are best suited for flat, solid surfaces that can be securely screwed into. Their 356mm height makes them ideal for low-profile furniture.
Care:
To maintain the black finish, wipe the legs with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. Periodically check that the screws remain tight to ensure continued stability.
