PICK YOUR LEGS

 

BENCHES

 

Legs	Prongs	Steel diameter	Max weight	People
16 inch	2	10mm	140kg	Up to 2
	2	12mm	250kg	Up to 3
	3	10mm	250kg+	Up to 5
	3	12mm	250kg+	Up to 6

Whether you make a single-seater bench, or a much larger one, use the above guide to make sure you'll have the right amount of support.

 

CONSOLE TABLES/DRESSING TABLES

 

Legs	Prongs	Steel diameter	Max weight
28 inch	2	10mm	15kg
	2	12mm	25kg
	3	10mm	60kg
	3	12mm	120kg

As demonstrated above, console and dressing tables can be made with a wide range of materials – from pallet wood, to printer's trays, to concrete. Use our guide to determine which legs will best suit your chosen surface's weight.

 

 

DESKS AND DINING TABLES

 

Legs	Prongs	Steel diameter	Max weight
28 inch	2	10mm	15kg
	2	12mm	25kg
	3	10mm	60kg
	3	12mm	120kg

Table and desk tops tend to be heavy, so we'd recommend using 3 prong legs to make sure you've got sufficient support. 10mm is fine for a surface weighing up to 60kg, but if it's any heavier, opt for 12mm.

 

COUNTERTOPS

 

Legs	Prongs	Steel diameter	Max weight
34 inch	3	10mm	50kg
	3	12mm	100kg

3 prong legs will give you enough support for everyday tasks at your countertop – like working, eating and drinking. We recommend the 12mm legs, in case you ever want to place heavy items on top of the counter. 

BARS AND POSEURS

 

Legs	Prongs	Steel diameter	Max weight
40 inch	3	12mm	80kg

 

Tall hairpin legs can transform a simple wooden surface into a unique home bar. Our 40 inch pins support up to 80kg freestanding, but more if you fix the table to a wall or static fixing.

 

PICK YOUR COLOUR

Now you can enjoy the fun bit. Our legs are available in a selection of finishes – from rustic raw steel, to copper, to duck egg blue. 

All our legs come with free color-matched protection feet to protect your floors.
