Set Of 4 Replacement Furniture Legs - Knightsbrand - Brown - PKC501MH
These legs are great for any furniture including sofas, chairs, settees, beds, footstools, cabinet...These legs are great for any furniture including sofas, chairs, settees, beds, footstools, cabinets, tables, and bookcases. 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 with pre-drilled holes that fit to your furniture using 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.

FAQs
How do I know which bolt size (M8, M10, M6) I need?
The most accurate way is to try fitting nuts of these sizes onto your existing leg's bolt. If an 8mm nut fits, you need M8. If it's too small, try M10. If it's too big, you need M6. Do not rely on a tape measure for thread size.
Can these legs be used for beds?
Yes, these legs are suitable for various furniture types, including beds, provided the bed frame has compatible fittings (threaded inserts or pre-drilled holes for self-fixing).
What is the weight capacity of these legs?
The product description does not specify a precise weight capacity. However, they are designed for standard furniture use (sofas, chairs, cabinets) and should provide adequate support when correctly fitted.
Do the self-fixing legs come with screws?
The product information does not explicitly state if screws are included with the self-fixing options. It is recommended to check the specific product listing or contact customer support to confirm.
Can I mix and match leg styles or colors?

How do I clean the brown finish?

Troubleshooting
Legs do not fit correctly.
Ensure you have accurately identified the correct bolt thread size (M8, M10, M6) or confirmed suitability for self-fixing before purchase. If unsure, contact customer support for assistance.
Furniture feels wobbly after attachment.
Verify that all legs are screwed in tightly and evenly. Check that the furniture's original mounting points are sound. Ensure all four legs are making even contact with the floor.
The brown finish is scratched or damaged.
Minor scratches can sometimes be concealed with a furniture repair pen matching the brown color. For significant damage, consider if a replacement leg is needed.
Self-fixing legs do not secure properly.
Ensure the wood surface is adequate for 6mm wood screws and that pilot holes are appropriately sized. Use suitable wood screws and tighten them firmly but without stripping the wood.

Identify Existing Fitting: Before ordering, determine the type of fitting your furniture requires. Most legs use bolts with specific thread sizes (M8, M10, or M6). The most reliable method to check is to try fitting nuts of these sizes onto the existing leg's bolt. If an 8mm nut fits, you need M8. If it's too small, try M10. If it's too big, you need M6. Do not use a tape measure for bolt thread size.
Self-Fixing Option: If your furniture has pre-drilled holes for wood screws, the self-fixing legs are suitable. Ensure your furniture material is strong enough to hold 6mm wood screws.
Attachment: For bolt-on legs, simply screw the new leg into the existing threaded insert or hole on the furniture frame. For self-fixing legs, align them with the pre-drilled holes and secure with appropriate 6mm wood screws (screws may not be included).
Care Instructions:
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
Periodically check that the legs are securely fastened to the furniture.
