Table Legs

Choose table legs based on the size, weight and purpose of your project.

Large dining tables and desks need strong, stable legs that can support solid timber tops. Coffee tables, side tables and benches can often use smaller or lighter designs. Make sure the leg height suits the finished height you want to achieve.

Steel table legs are one of the best choices for solid timber tables because they provide excellent strength and stability.

For larger table tops, look for heavy duty steel legs with a wide mounting plate and quality construction. This helps reduce movement and provides long term support for solid timber.

The height of your table legs depends on the type of furniture you are building.

Common heights include:

• Coffee tables, 350mm to 450mm
• Benches, 420mm to 450mm
• Dining tables, 710mm to 730mm
• Bar tables, around 900mm
• Leaner tables, around 1020mm

Remember to include the thickness of your tabletop when calculating the finished height.

Most steel table legs are attached using screws through the pre-drilled mounting plate.

Position the legs evenly, check they are square and use screws that suit the thickness of your timber. This provides a secure connection without damaging the tabletop.

Yes. Quality steel table legs are designed to support heavy timber table tops used for dining tables, desks, workbenches and custom furniture.

The amount of weight they can support depends on the design, steel thickness and the size of the tabletop. Choosing the right leg style for your project helps achieve the best stability and performance.
