Furniture legs come with different fittings. Some have bolts which can come in 3 sizes: M8 (8mm), M10 (10mm), & 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 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
What types of furniture can these feet be used on?
These feet are highly versatile and can be used on sofas, chairs, settees, beds, footstools, cabinets, tables, bookcases, and drawers.
How do I know which bolt size (M8, M10, M6) I need?
The best way is to try fitting nuts onto your existing leg's bolt. If an 8mm nut fits, it's M8. If it's too small, try M10. If it's too big, you need M6. Do not use a tape measure.
What if my furniture doesn't use bolts?
Some legs come with self-fixing pre-drilled options that attach to your furniture using 6mm wood screws. Ensure your furniture material is suitable for this type of attachment.
How do I clean the silver finish?
Gently wipe the feet with a soft cloth dampened with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.

Troubleshooting
Incorrect bolt size ordered
Re-check the bolt size using the nut method described in the setup section. If a different size is required, you may need to reorder the correct fitting. Contact customer support for exchange options if available.
Feet do not fit securely
Ensure you have selected the correct fitting type (bolt size or screw-in). If using bolt fittings, confirm the thread is clean and undamaged. If using screw-in fittings, ensure the wood is sturdy enough and pilot holes are appropriately sized.
Furniture wobbles after installation
Verify all four feet are tightened evenly and securely. Check that the floor surface is level. If the furniture is old, the frame itself might be uneven, requiring shims for stabilization.
Silver finish appears dull
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If the finish is scratched, it may require professional restoration or replacement of the feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Compatibility:
Identify Existing Fitting: Before ordering, determine the type of fitting your furniture requires. Most legs feature bolts, which come in M8 (8mm), M10 (10mm), or M6 (6mm) sizes. Others are self-fixing and require 6mm wood screws.
Check Bolt Size: To confirm the bolt size, do not use a tape measure. Instead, try fitting nuts onto the existing leg's bolt. If an 8mm nut fits snugly, you need M8. If it's too loose, try a 10mm nut (M10 required). If even the 8mm nut is too tight, you likely need M6.
Select Correct Option: Choose the furniture feet with the matching bolt size or the appropriate self-fixing type.
Attach: Screw the new feet securely into the furniture's designated fitting points.
Care Instructions:
Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the silver finish.
Ensure feet are securely fastened periodically to maintain stability.
