Choosing the right size legs

We make legs in a variety of standard heights:

You can find more detailed information about what height legs will be best for you here.

Will the legs be strong enough?

  • Short legs (under 40cm) – Shorter legs are inherently stronger and stiffer than their taller counterparts. You will be hard pressed to build something on small legs where weight is an issue. If you have any specific concerns, get in touch.

For our taller leg options, you can find weight loading guidelines for our different options here:

Will I need extra legs?

A single set of legs should be sufficient for most tabletops up to 1.8m - 2m long. For longer tables (2m+) please read our guide here.

 

Choosing the right finish

Our metal table legs are made with mild steel. We offer a number of different finish options to suit your project:

  • Raw Steel – This is uncoated steel in its natural form and will rust if left unfinished (indoors as well as out). We offer this option for those looking for a rusted industrial look or wanting to apply their own finish.
  • Clear Coat – These legs have a clear powder coat layer over the steel to protect them from rusting while maintaining the natural colour of the steel.
  • Colour Powder Coats – We offer all of our legs in a black powder coat, and the hairpins come in a variety of other colours too.
  • Electro-plated options – We currently offer hairpin legs electro-plated in Copper, Brass, Chrome, and Zinc.
  • Outdoor finishes – Some of our finishes are suitable for use outdoors. You can find all of our outdoor grade leg options here.

You can find some detailed guides on choosing the right finish here.

What's included?

All of our legs come with free wood screws and appropriate floor protectors.

How do I attach the legs, and what tools will I need?

With screws included, attaching our legs to your project should be very simple. We just recommend a few things:

  • A tape measure to get the positions of the legs in the right place
  • A pencil to mark the positions of the screw holes
  • A drill to predrill guide holes for the screws. We recommend a 2.5mm diameter guide hole for soft woods and a 3mm diameter guide hole for hard woods
  • A screwdriver to screw the legs in

That should cover almost everything you need to consider when choosing some of our legs. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQ

When should I choose a full table frame? How strong are they?

Freestanding table frames offer a rock-solid foundation with minimal DIY effort. The design bolts together into a rigid, self-supporting base, making it easy to mount a wide range of table tops — from extremely heavy materials like stone and thick solid wood, to more delicate options such as MDF, composites, marble, or glass.

Compared to our non-freestanding options, these frames deliver superior strength and stability. Cross bars add substantial lateral support, reinforcing both the legs and the tabletop to create an exceptionally sturdy structure.

Ideal for heavy-duty projects, these frames are well-suited for tops exceeding 150kg. While we don’t specify a maximum weight limit, this style is strongly recommended for heavier builds.

As always, final assembly and safe use remain your responsibility. Please ensure all components are correctly fitted and secure before use.

What width and length frame should I choose?

Our table-height Square Frames are available in two widths: 58 cm and 74 cm. As a general guide:

  • 58 cm frames suit tables up to 120 cm wide
  • 74 cm frames suit tables 100–150 cm wide

For tables between 100 cm and 120 cm wide, either size can work — your choice will depend on how much overhang you prefer and what fits best with your space and intended use.

When selecting the length of your frame, consider both the strength of your tabletop and how much overhang it can support without flexing:

  • Thin or delicate tops should be paired with frames nearly as long as the tabletop
  • Thicker, more rigid tops can support a larger overhang — typically up to 25% of the total table length
Which legs are suitable for outdoor use?

While many of our products are designed for indoor use, several are suitable for outdoor settings — all of which can be found in our Outdoor Collection.

However, “outdoor suitability” exists on a spectrum. Some products are more resilient than others, depending on materials and finishes:

  • Consumer-grade Protection: Products treated with outdoor-rated powder coat paint offer reasonable durability for residential use.
  • Commercial-grade protection: For the highest level of outdoor durability, we use non-rusting base materials such as galvanised steel, 316 stainless steel, or aluminium.

Standard powder-coated products aren’t necessarily unsuitable for outdoor use, but they may require more care and may not last as long when exposed to the elements. Some customers report years of outdoor use without issue, while others may notice wear more quickly — depending on exposure and maintenance.

Coastal environments require extra care.For seaside locations, we strongly recommend our 316 Stainless Steel Hairpin Legs. These provide marine-grade corrosion resistance and are designed to withstand the harsh, salt-rich air. Steel can and will rust over time — especially near the coast — so stainless steel is the best choice for long-term performance.

If you’re unsure which option suits your space, feel free to contact us for tailored advice.
