Round Tapered Wooden Leg 40mm diameter x 150mm tall

Round Tapered Wooden Leg 40mm Diameter × 150mm Tall

The Round Tapered Wooden Leg 40mm Diameter × 150mm Tall is a slim European Beech hardwood furniture leg for chairs, stools, benches, cabinets and other furniture requiring additional height with a clean rounded profile.

At 150mm tall, the leg raises the furniture noticeably from the floor while its 40mm diameter creates a lighter appearance than a broad bun foot or square furniture leg.

The tapered profile suits furniture where the wooden leg remains visible and a simple, understated shape is preferred.

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

Available in Natural, Oak, Raw and Wenge, the leg can be selected to complement a variety of furniture and interior finishes.

• Cabinets

150mm High Furniture Leg

At 150mm high, this leg provides considerably more clearance than a low bun foot or compact sofa foot.

The additional height can be useful where:

• Furniture needs greater floor clearance
• A visible wooden leg is part of the design
• A lighter raised appearance is preferred
• The original furniture uses legs of a similar height
• A compact low-profile foot would make the furniture sit too close to the floor

Always compare the 150mm height with the original furniture leg before ordering a replacement.

M8 Threaded Wooden Furniture Leg

The leg is supplied with an M8 threaded fitting.

Where the furniture already has a compatible M8 threaded insert, the new leg can be screwed into position.

Before ordering, check:

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

Do not force an M8 thread into a fixing of a different size.

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 threaded fixing option for suitable furniture applications.

Replacing Existing Furniture Legs

The Round Tapered Wooden Leg can be used where existing furniture legs are damaged, missing or being changed during refurbishment.

Before fitting replacement legs:

1. Support the furniture safely.
2. Remove one existing leg where possible.
3. Measure its height and diameter.
4. Check the existing thread size.
5. Inspect the furniture-frame fixing.
6. Compare the new 150mm height.
7. Choose the required finish.
8. Check the furniture remains level after fitting.

Changing the height of furniture legs can affect seat height, cabinet height and overall proportions.

If you’re unsure whether the leg is suitable, contact Livedale before ordering.

Choosing the Correct Finish

The Round Tapered Wooden Leg is available in four finishes.

Natural

The Natural finish provides a light wooden appearance suitable where the European Beech needs to remain clearly visible.

Oak

The Oak finish works particularly well alongside lighter timber furniture and oak-style interior finishes.

Raw

The Raw option is supplied unfinished and can be stained, painted or otherwise finished specifically for the furniture project.

Wenge

The Wenge finish provides a very dark wood-style appearance that can create a stronger contrast beneath lighter furniture and upholstery.

Raw European Beech for Bespoke Finishing

The Raw option is particularly useful for furniture manufacture, restoration and refurbishment where the timber needs to match an existing colour or finish.

Depending on the required appearance, the timber can be:

• Stained
• Painted
• Sealed
• Lacquered
• Polished

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

Before finishing:

• 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 completely before fitting

Metal Glide Fitted to the Base

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

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

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

Check periodically that any floor protector remains securely attached and replace it when worn.

150mm or 200mm Round Tapered Leg?

For greater height, see the Round Tapered Wooden Leg 45mm Diameter × 200mm Tall.

Choose the 40mm × 150mm leg where:

• A 150mm furniture-leg height is required
• A slimmer 40mm profile is preferred
• Moderate floor clearance is needed
• A lighter furniture appearance suits the design

Choose the 45mm × 200mm version where:

• Considerably more height is required
• A taller visible leg suits the furniture
• A slightly broader diameter is preferred
• Additional floor clearance is needed

The difference in height will be clearly noticeable on the finished furniture, so measure carefully before ordering.

Tapered Leg or Turned Wooden Foot?

For a more decorative round profile, consider the Turned Wooden Foot 90mm Diameter × 125mm.

Choose the Round Tapered Wooden Leg where:

• A slimmer appearance is preferred
• A simple tapered profile suits the furniture
• A 150mm height is required
• A cleaner, less decorative shape is wanted

Choose a turned foot where a broader and more detailed wooden profile better suits the furniture.

Tapered Leg or Wooden Bun Foot?

Wooden bun feet provide a lower and broader furniture support.

For a compact rounded option, see the Wooden Bun Foot 85mm Diameter × 43mm.

Choose the tapered leg where:

• Additional furniture height is required
• A slim leg is preferred
• The furniture needs more floor clearance
• The leg should remain clearly visible

Choose a bun foot where:

• Furniture needs to remain closer to the floor
• A broader rounded support is preferred
• A more traditional low furniture profile is required

Round or Square Wooden Furniture Leg?

The tapered round profile provides a softer appearance than a straight-sided square leg.

For square alternatives, browse Square Wooden Feet.

Choose a round tapered leg where:

• A slimmer furniture support is preferred
• Rounded lines suit the furniture
• The furniture needs additional height
• A tapered profile complements the design

Choose a square leg where straight sides and a more substantial block profile better suit the furniture.

Protecting the Furniture Base

A suitable washer can help separate a threaded wooden furniture leg from the underside of the furniture on compatible installations.

The Plastic 50mm Serrated Washer can be used with suitable threaded furniture-leg arrangements.

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

Check Before Ordering

Before ordering, check:

• 40mm diameter
• 150mm height
• M8 threaded fitting
• Existing furniture-leg dimensions
• Required finished furniture height
• Furniture-frame construction
• Condition of the existing fixing
• Number of legs required
• Required finish
• Floor surface

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

Pay particular attention to the 150mm height, as changing from a substantially shorter furniture foot will alter the finished furniture height.
