Wooden Bun Foot 68mm diameter x 40mm

Wooden Bun Foot 68mm Diameter × 40mm

The Wooden Bun Foot 68mm Diameter × 40mm is a compact European Beech hardwood furniture foot for sofas, armchairs, footstools, cabinets and other furniture where a simple rounded support is required.

With a 68mm diameter and a low 40mm height, it provides a discreet wooden support that keeps furniture relatively close to the floor.

Its simple bun profile makes it suitable for both traditional and contemporary furniture where a larger decorative turned foot would be unnecessary.

An M8 threaded fitting allows the foot to screw into a compatible furniture fixing.

Available in Black, Mahogany, Natural, Oak, Raw and Wenge, it can be selected to complement a wide range of furniture finishes and upholstery styles.

Why Choose a 40mm High Bun Foot?

A low bun foot is useful where the furniture needs a wooden support without the additional height created by a conventional furniture leg.

Choose this style where:

• A low furniture profile is preferred
• Only modest floor clearance is required
• A simple rounded support suits the furniture
• The foot needs to remain discreet
• Existing furniture uses a similarly short foot
• A taller turned or tapered leg would alter the proportions too much

Always compare the replacement height with the existing furniture feet before ordering.

68mm or 85mm Wooden Bun Foot?

For a slightly larger alternative, see the Wooden Bun Foot 85mm Diameter × 43mm.

Choose the 68mm × 40mm Bun Foot where:

• A compact furniture foot is required
• A narrower 68mm diameter suits the furniture
• A low 40mm height is preferred
• A discreet rounded support is required

Choose the 85mm × 43mm Bun Foot where:

• A wider wooden foot better suits the furniture
• Slightly more visual presence is preferred
• A larger contact profile is required

68mm or 87mm Wooden Bun Foot?

For a broader and slightly taller alternative, consider the Wooden Bun Foot 87mm Diameter × 54mm.

The 87mm × 54mm version provides both a wider diameter and additional height.

Choose the 68mm × 40mm foot where a smaller, lower support is preferred.

Choose the 87mm × 54mm foot where a more substantial rounded furniture foot better suits the piece.

Bun Foot or Turned Wooden Foot?

For furniture requiring more height and a more decorative profile, consider the Turned Wooden Foot 100mm Diameter × 102mm.

Choose the 68mm × 40mm Bun Foot where:

• Furniture needs to remain close to the floor
• A simple rounded profile is preferred
• A compact wooden support is required
• Minimal additional furniture height is wanted

Choose the Turned Wooden Foot where:

• More floor clearance is required
• A decorative profile suits the furniture
• A larger visible wooden support is preferred

Looking for a Broader Decorative Bun Foot?

For a much broader furniture support, see the Shaped Wooden Bun Foot 125mm Diameter × 80mm.

The 125mm version provides a substantially larger footprint and a more decorative profile.

Choose the 68mm Bun Foot where a compact, understated support is required.

Choose the 125mm Shaped Bun Foot where the wooden foot is intended to become a more prominent part of the finished furniture.

M8 Threaded Furniture Foot

The Wooden Bun Foot is supplied with an M8 threaded fitting for attachment to a compatible furniture frame.

Where the furniture already has an M8 threaded insert, the replacement foot can be screwed directly into place.

Before ordering, check:

• Existing thread size
• Condition of the threaded fixing
• Furniture-frame construction
• Available mounting area
• Required furniture height
• Number of feet required

Do not force an M8 threaded foot into an incompatible fixing.

Where a new threaded fixing is required in a suitable timber frame, M8 T Nuts provide a compatible M8 connection.

M8 D Nuts provide another M8 fixing option for suitable furniture constructions.

Replacing Existing Sofa & Chair Feet

The Wooden Bun Foot can be used when existing furniture feet are damaged, missing or being changed during refurbishment.

Before fitting replacements:

1. Support the furniture safely.
2. Remove one existing foot where possible.
3. Measure its diameter and height.
4. Check the existing thread size.
5. Inspect the furniture-frame fixing.
6. Compare the replacement dimensions.
7. Select the required finish.
8. Check that the completed furniture sits level.

Replacing matching feet together helps maintain consistent furniture height and appearance.

Choosing the Correct Finish

The Wooden Bun Foot is available in six finish options.

Black

The Black finish provides a dark, understated appearance suited to contemporary furniture and darker upholstery.

Mahogany

The Mahogany finish provides a traditional darker wood appearance that works particularly well with classic furniture and richer upholstery colours.

Natural

The Natural finish provides a lighter timber appearance where the character of the European Beech is intended to remain visible.

Oak

The Oak finish complements lighter wooden furniture and interiors using oak-style tones.

Raw

The Raw option is supplied unfinished, allowing the European Beech timber to be stained, painted or otherwise finished specifically for the furniture project.

Wenge

The Wenge finish provides a very dark wood-style appearance suited to contemporary furniture and stronger contrasts with lighter upholstery.

Raw European Beech for Bespoke Finishing

The Raw option is particularly useful for furniture restoration and bespoke manufacture where the foot needs to match an existing timber colour.

Depending on the required appearance, the timber can be:

• Stained
• Painted
• Sealed
• Lacquered
• Polished

Browse Woodcare, Stains & Lacquers for suitable furniture-finishing products.

Before applying a finish:

• Make sure the timber is clean and dry
• Sand where required
• Remove sanding dust
• Test the chosen finish on a discreet area
• Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions
• Allow the finish to dry thoroughly before fitting

Metal Glide Fitted to the Base

The bun foot is supplied with a metal glide fitted to the base.

Where furniture will sit on wooden or laminate flooring, the metal glide can be removed and replaced with suitable felt protection.

Self-Adhesive Felt Pads can provide a softer floor-contact surface where correctly fitted.

Check felt pads periodically and replace them when worn or damaged.

Bun Foot or Tapered Wooden Leg?

For furniture requiring substantially more floor clearance, consider the Round Tapered Wooden Leg 40mm Diameter × 150mm Tall.

Choose the Wooden Bun Foot where:

• A low furniture profile is required
• A broad rounded support is preferred
• Only modest floor clearance is needed
• A compact wooden foot suits the design

Choose the tapered leg where:

• Furniture needs considerably more height
• A slim visible leg is preferred
• Greater floor clearance is required
• A raised furniture appearance suits the design

Protecting the Furniture Base

The Plastic 50mm Serrated Washer can be used with suitable M8 furniture-leg installations.

It can help separate the top of the wooden foot from the underside covering while helping reduce movement where compatible with the furniture construction.

Always make sure sufficient M8 thread remains securely engaged after fitting any washer or additional component.

Check Before Ordering

Before ordering, check:

• 68mm diameter
• 40mm height
• M8 threaded fitting
• Existing furniture-foot dimensions
• Available mounting area
• Required finished furniture height
• Furniture-frame construction
• Condition of the existing fixing
• Number of feet required
• Required finish
• Floor surface

Where replacing an existing furniture foot, remove and measure one original wherever possible.
