- Should arrive with an appropriate protective coating for transit/storage.
- May require periodic maintenance (cleaning/protecting) if left unfinished.
- Items that have rusted due to storage or use after delivery are not eligible for return as “faulty”.
Outdoor Use
Products suitable for outdoor use include:
- Zinc table legs
- Stainless steel table legs
All other products are not rated for outdoor use unless explicitly stated on the product page.

Whether you're building a custom table, upgrading cabinetry, or adding the perfect finishing touch, our solid steel and real wood hardware is made to last. That’s why every indoor table leg, door knob, and piece of furniture hardware comes with a 5-Year Guarantee—so you can create with confidence.
What is Covered?
The 5-year guarantee applies to all of our products when used indoors in a residential setting. Commercial and outdoor usage is not covered.
This guarantee covers issues arising from manufacturing defects under normal use, giving you peace of mind as you build, create, and personalise your space. If you ever run into an issue, we're here to help.
Engineered for Makers, Designed for Durability
Our products are crafted with precision and built to withstand everyday use. To keep them looking their best:
- Use them as intended – This guarantee applies to indoor, non-commercial use only. For products sold as suitable for outdoor use, see our Outdoor Guarantee.
- Handle with care – Touch up any chips or scratches to protect the finish.
- Consider your surroundings – Coastal air can accelerate wear on painted steel.

Set of 4 steel hairpin legs at 71cm, the standard height for desks and dining tables. Pick a design and finish, screw the legs straight to your top with the hardware supplied, and the table is done.
Two choices matter. Rod count first: 3-rod is the right call under a desk or dining table; 2-rod suits side tables and compact builds. Then thickness: Classic 10mm supports standard size desks and dining tables, and Heavy Duty 12mm carries larger, heavier builds like an 8-seater solid oak table.
Each leg is solid steel rod on a thick 4mm base plate, so the finished table feels planted; we've made hairpin legs for the best part of 15 years, and our own desks and dining tables at home stand on them. Black powder coat is our most popular finish of the fifteen; chrome, zinc and stainless steel are the outdoor-rated picks. Every set includes wood screws, rubber protector feet and a fitting guide.
The classic
Modelled After the Classics
These legs stay true to the original hairpins designed by Henry Glass in the 1940s: a slimline flute set at a slightly reclined angle, available in 2-rod and 3-rod styles.
SCREWS AND FEET INCLUDED
Free wood screws and floor protectors.
PROFESSIONAL FINISHES
Stop rust and add style. 15 finishes to choose from.
4MM BASE PLATES
Thick, wide plates for rock-solid mounting.
SOLID STEEL ROD
Cold-formed steel rod, never hollow tube.
The range
From Dresser to Bar
We stock leg sizes for every project from 10cm to 102cm. Classic 10mm suits almost all of them; Heavy Duty 12mm is there for large dining tables and heavier builds.
The finishes
Fifteen Professional Finishes
Every finish looks great and protects your legs from rusting, except one: raw steel, 100% natural and bare, for the metal exactly as it comes.
Colour powder coat
Black, White, Duck Egg Blue, Yellow, Red, Pastel Green and Orange. Powder coat protects your legs from rust while adding colour to your build.
Clear Coat
The raw steel look, sealed. A slight sheen over the bare metal, with none of the rusting.
Raw Steel
100% natural and bare. It will rust, even indoors; choose it to finish the legs yourself or for a weathered, industrial look.
Gold
Real brass electroplating with a mirror polish. New brass reads as gold, so we call it what you see.
Satin Brass
The same real brass, brushed to a satin finish. It looks like machined brass rather than polished, between brand new and aged.
Copper
Real copper electroplate with a striking, modern look. It ages into a soft patina over time.
Chrome
Polished to a mirror finish. Eye-catching against a dark top, and outdoor-rated.
Zinc
Electro-treated with a self-healing zinc layer for strong rust resistance, indoors or out. The bright finish softens to a soft grey over time.
Stainless Steel
316 marine-grade steel that doesn't oxidise: the look never changes. The quiet choice for gardens and kitchens.
The engineering
The Cupped Weld
Each rod seats into a pressed cup in the base plate and is welded from the back. That puts more weld in the joint, fuses the steel better, and leaves a clean face on the side you see. It's one of the most innovative things we've done on hairpins, and it's why the finished leg feels the way it does.
The details
Kind to Your Floors
Rubber feet are included free with every set, stopping damage on delicate floors and slipping on stone. Wood screws are in the box too, so you can get started right away. Prefer clip-on plastic protectors? Extras are available separately.
