Heights and thread types
Sofa legs are usually 10 to 20 cm tall, with taller legs giving a lighter look and room for a robot vacuum. Most legs screw into a plate with an M8 thread, but check the thread, hanger bolt or plate type on your sofa before buying.
Load rating
A 3-seat sofa with people can weigh 150 to 300 kg, spread over 4 to 6 legs. Check the maker's rating per leg and add a centre leg on long sofas. Thin plastic legs crack under heavy loads.
Fitting plates and screws
Legs fix with a mounting plate screwed into the frame or by a threaded bolt into a hanger plate. Use screws that bite into solid frame wood, not just upholstery board, and tighten evenly.
Floor protection
Felt pads, rubber or plastic caps stop scratches and slipping. Check that legs have flat, wide bases on wood and tile floors, and replace worn pads.
Style matching
Match leg finish to other metal accents: gold with brass lamps, black with modern frames and wood with natural rugs. Slim tapered legs suit mid-century styles, and chunky legs suit traditional sofas.
Fitting tips
Tip the sofa on its side with padding, remove old legs, fit new ones and test stability. Fixing and assembly should be done carefully, with wall fixings suited to the wall type and the load checked against the maker's rating.
Before you decide
Check thread type, height and load rating and add floor protection. Measure the space and the largest item you need to fit, check the material, finish and load rating, compare at least two quotes or products on the same specification and keep the invoice and any warranty. Ask for photographs of the actual item or a sample, confirm delivery and assembly in writing and inspect the delivered piece for damage before the delivery person leaves. Prices change with material costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide, and be careful with very low prices that hide thin materials or poor finishing.
