8-Piece 4 Inch Round Solid Wood Sofa Legs - Natural Wooden Replacement Couch Legs for Armchair, Cabinet, Chair, Footstool & Mid Century Modern Dresser - Perfect for DIY Furniture Repair & Home Decor Upgrade

Okay so these legs are very nice for how much they cost. I bought them in natural because I wanted to stain them to be closer to the teak and mahogany tones of my furnace. The natural legs do you have a clear protective sealant over them so if you want to use a normal stain on them like an oil based or water-based stain then you will have to sand them they are not natural as in unfinished they are natural as in they are clearcoated. I assume the darker color legs that you can also buy or just tone sprayed with the same clear lacquer so you could technically still sand off that finish and restain them however you would like.I use the gel stain (candle light by general finishes) over the lacquer because I honestly will never be that close to them to where I will notice any details that might be a little blotchy and I was feeling a little lazy and I can be a little lazy sometimes that’s OK. Everyone’s allowed to be a little lazy sometimes even us woodworkers. The foam pads that come with them are OK. I would definitely replace them with a little clear or black Teflon tack protectors Because of these don’t pick up hair and stick to them, And they will not fall off if you drag it across carpet. I have Hickory hardwood floors and I’m not gonna take the chance of dragging the other wood across them and scratching my floors so this is what I did but it does come with foam felt sticky pads if that is sufficient for you. Now to get onto the meat of things, my couch was poorly made and already had a holes where the other legs I had were. They were too small to fit the little nut brackets so I had to drill the hole larger. I used a small flat head screwdriver and a hammer to push the other thread from my couch in through the inside and let it fall to the inside of my couch because honestly I don’t even care and that would be the easiest way to get it out.*****Here is the important part for everybody who is actually here to learn how to install it with proper measurements*****I used a half inch drill bit to drill the hole larger to fit the cylindrical part of the nut into the hole drilled it in and screwed in my legs and it fit perfectly the legs Rod is an M8 and the outside diameter is half an inch approximately (Due to it actually coming closer to 12.5 mm)Honestly good likes any bad reviews have come from people being idiots so, good luck!I went with the 8” legs on my Ikea-Friheten to see the difference in height. I used the existing threads. Didn’t need to drill any holes or use provided inserts.This was on me:Be careful when putting the (2)legs on the storage box section of the sofa. Don’t insert the legs too tight. (See last picture)It’s all trial and error. Hope this can help. I’m pretty happy with the results. And gotta be honest still feel uneasy but I don’t regret it.FYI. I still need to modify the pull out section of the sofa. Any suggestions are welcome. ThanksI have a bad knee so sitting low and having to get back up, kills my knee. So I purchase these because they make my love seat and couch a lot higher for me. So now I don't have a problem sitting or getting up from the live seat or couch. Thank youPrefect replacement legs for chair,couch and good priceWe bought these for an ancient couch that has just been redone and they fit like a glove we didn't even need the sleeves.Uses to raise my love seats and ottoman. Made ottoman more coffee table heightThis product comes in a bag with no separation other then a sleeve of bubble wrap over each leg. The screws and small items come in a smaller bag which is great. If you are getting these and don't plan to paint them, don't. They will come dented and scratched. I spray painted mine. You need to install correctly. If using for wood ikea furniture, you need to be very careful. The wood is very thin and will break if weight is put on the legs before they are vertical to the floor. I fixed mine with liquid nails and gorilla glue. I think I would be wise for the company to update packaging.These were not used to replace existing furniture "legs", but to elevate a rack above a threshold bar on another piece of furniture. The height was just right and I was able to make everything work fairly quickly6/8 of the legs performed perfectly but two of them had issues: the screw which is inside the wooden leg becomes separated as the screw has no kind of teeth or glue to hold it in place. This led to the sofa being so wobbly we had to remove all the legs.Arrived damaged . Disappointed.
