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 solid wood bun feet are ideal for enhancing or replacing the legs on a wide range of furniture, including sofas, beds, cabinets, and tables, offering a stylish silver finish. While they provide a versatile solution for furniture customization and repair, users must carefully verify their existing fitting sizes (M6, M8, or M10 bolts) before purchase, as incorrect fittings cannot be determined with a tape measure.

FAQs
How do I know which bolt size (M6, M8, M10) to order?
The best way to determine the correct bolt size is to test nuts on your existing furniture leg's bolt. If an 8mm nut fits, you need M8. If it's too loose, try M10. If it's too tight, try M6. A tape measure cannot accurately measure the thread size.
Can these legs be used on any type of furniture?
These legs are designed for a wide range of furniture including sofas, chairs, beds, cabinets, tables, and bookcases, provided they have compatible fittings or can be securely attached.
Do the bun feet come with screws for attachment?
The description mentions self-fixing options that fit with 6mm wood screws, but these screws are not typically included and must be sourced separately.
What is the material of the bun feet?
The product is described as 'Solid Wood Bun Feet'.
How do I clean the silver finish?
Wipe the silver finish gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
What if my furniture has specific mounting plates instead of simple bolts?
These bun feet are designed for direct bolt-in or screw-in attachment. If your furniture has specialized mounting plates, you may need to adapt the fitting or consider alternative solutions.
Troubleshooting
Legs do not fit the furniture.
Verify the bolt size (M6, M8, M10) or confirm if self-fixing screws are needed. Ensure the furniture has the correct receiving threads or pre-drilled holes.
Wobbly furniture after attaching legs.
Ensure all legs are tightened securely. Check that the floor surface is level. If the issue persists, the furniture's frame may need reinforcement.
Difficulty determining bolt size.
The most reliable method is to test nuts on the existing bolt. A tape measure is inaccurate for thread size. If unsure, contact customer support with details of your current fittings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify Fitting Type: Determine if your furniture requires legs with bolts or self-fixing screws.
Measure Bolt Size (if applicable): If your current legs use bolts, you must confirm the bolt size (M6, M8, or M10). The most accurate method is to try fitting nuts of these sizes onto the existing bolt. An 8mm nut fitting means you need M8; if it's too loose, try M10; if too tight, try M6.
Attach Legs: For bolt-on legs, screw them securely into the pre-drilled or existing threaded inserts on your furniture. For self-fixing legs, align them with the desired location on your furniture and attach using appropriate 6mm wood screws (not included).
Compatibility:
Bolt Fittings: M6, M8, and M10 bolts are available. Ensure your furniture has compatible threaded inserts.
Self-Fixing: Requires direct attachment to wood using screws.
Weight Bearing: Suitable for sofas, chairs, beds, cabinets, tables, and bookcases. Always ensure the furniture's original structure can support the load.
Care:
Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents which may damage the finish.
