Furniture legs come with different fittings. Some have bolts which can come in 3 sizes M8 (8mm), M10 (10mm), and M6 (6mm), and others are self-fixing pre-drilled which fit to your furniture with 6mm wood screws. You will need to know the fittings you require. We can usually cater for most fittings depending on the footleg you choose. To ensure you order the correct bolt size, you will need to check the bolt size on your existing legs. You are unable to do this with a tape measure as this will not accurately allow for the thread. The only way to be sure is to try a nut on the existing legs. If you try an 8mm nut and it fits, you know it's M8. If it’s too small, you require M10, and if it’s too big, you require M6. If you need any advice or help with which fittings to order, please send us a message. We can usually suggest a type of fitting that will work for your requirements.
These Knightsbrand Tsp2005 solid wood furniture feet are designed for individuals looking to refresh or repair various types of furniture, including sofas, chairs, beds, and cabinets. The key benefit is the versatility in application and the option for different bolt fittings to ensure a secure attachment. A potential caveat is the necessity for users to accurately identify their required bolt size before ordering.

FAQs
What types of furniture can these feet be used on?
These feet are versatile and can be used on a wide range of furniture including sofas, chairs, settees, beds, footstools, cabinets, tables, and bookcases.
How do I know which bolt size (M6, M8, M10) to order?
The best way is to test nuts on your existing furniture fittings. If an 8mm nut fits, you need M8. If it's too small, try M10. If it's too big, try M6. Do not use a tape measure as it is inaccurate for threads.
What if my furniture uses screws instead of bolts?
We offer self-fixing, pre-drilled options that fit to your furniture using 6mm wood screws. Ensure your furniture has suitable points for screwing.
Are these feet sold individually or in sets?
Typically, furniture feet are sold individually or in sets of four. Please check the product listing for the specific quantity included.
Can I paint or stain these wooden feet?
These feet are usually finished, but depending on the specific finish, they may be paintable or stainable. It is recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first or consult with a paint specialist for best results.
What is the weight capacity of these furniture feet?
The weight capacity depends on the furniture itself and how the feet are attached. They are designed to be robust replacements for standard furniture legs and should support typical furniture loads when properly installed.
How do I clean and maintain the furniture feet?
Wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the wood finish.
Troubleshooting
Furniture leg is wobbly after installation.
Ensure the bolt or screw is fully tightened into the furniture fitting. Check that the correct bolt size was selected and that the threads are not stripped on either the leg or the furniture.
Cannot determine the correct bolt size.
Use the method of trying different sized nuts (M6, M8, M10) on the existing bolt. If unable to determine, consult a local hardware store or contact customer support with photos of the fitting.
Feet do not fit into the existing holes.
Verify that you have ordered the correct fitting type (bolt vs. screw) and the corresponding size (M6, M8, M10). Ensure the furniture's pre-drilled holes are clear of debris.
Wood screws do not grip firmly.
The self-fixing screws require pre-drilled pilot holes of the correct size for optimal grip. Ensure the pilot hole is appropriate for the screw size and the wood density. If the hole is too large, you may need to use a larger screw or a wood filler and re-drill.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify Fitting Type: Determine if your furniture requires bolt-in legs or self-fixing screw-in legs.
Determine Bolt Size (if applicable): If your furniture uses bolt-in legs, identify the correct bolt size (M6, M8, or M10). The recommended method is to try fitting nuts of different sizes onto the existing bolt. An M8 nut fitting snugly indicates an M8 bolt. If you are unsure, contact customer support for assistance.
Attach Feet: Screw the new furniture feet into the designated fittings on your furniture. Ensure they are tightened securely but avoid overtightening, which could damage the threads.
