Description
Round Tapered Wooden Leg 45mm Diameter × 200mm Tall
The Round Tapered Wooden Leg 45mm Diameter × 200mm Tall is a tall European Beech hardwood furniture leg for chairs, stools, benches, cabinets and other furniture requiring increased floor clearance with a clean tapered profile.
At 200mm tall, the leg raises furniture approximately 20cm from its mounting point, while the 45mm diameter maintains a relatively slim appearance beneath the furniture.
The tapered shape provides a lighter visual profile than a broad bun foot or square wooden leg and works particularly well where the furniture legs remain clearly visible.
An M8 threaded fitting allows the leg to screw into a compatible threaded furniture fixing.
Available in Natural, Oak, Raw and Wenge, the leg can be selected to complement lighter or darker furniture finishes.

Round Tapered Wooden Leg Specification
- Diameter: 45mm
- Height: 200mm
- Timber: European Beech hardwood
- Style: round tapered furniture leg
- Fixing: M8 threaded fitting
- Available finishes: Natural, Oak, Raw and Wenge
- Base: fitted with metal glide
- Suitable for: chairs, stools, benches, cabinets and suitable upholstered furniture
The combination of 45mm diameter and 200mm height creates a tall, relatively slender furniture leg suitable where additional ground clearance is required without using a heavy block-style support.
Tall 200mm Wooden Furniture Leg
The 200mm height makes this one of the taller wooden furniture-leg options within the Round Wooden Feet range.
It is suitable for:
- Upholstered chairs
- Occasional chairs
- Stools
- Benches
- Cabinets
- Storage furniture
- Small furniture units
- Furniture refurbishment
- Replacement furniture legs
- New furniture manufacture
The additional height gives furniture a more raised appearance and leaves considerably more space beneath the frame than a conventional bun foot.

Slim Round Tapered Profile
The tapered shape helps reduce the visual weight of a tall wooden leg.
Rather than maintaining the same broad section from top to bottom, the profile becomes visually lighter towards the floor.
Choose this style where:
- A tall wooden leg is required
- A slim rounded appearance is preferred
- Furniture needs additional floor clearance
- The leg will remain clearly visible
- A simple tapered shape suits the furniture
- A broad bun or square foot would appear too heavy
M8 Threaded Wooden Furniture Leg
The leg 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 leg can be screwed directly into position.
Before ordering, check:
- Existing thread size
- Condition of the threaded fixing
- Furniture-frame construction
- Required furniture height
- Available mounting area
- Number of legs required
Do not force an M8 threaded leg into a fixing of a different size.
Where a new threaded anchor is required in a suitable timber frame, M8 T Nuts provide an internally threaded M8 fixing.
M8 D Nuts provide another M8 fixing option for suitable furniture constructions.
Replacing Existing Furniture Legs
The Round Tapered Wooden Leg can be used when existing furniture legs are damaged, missing or being changed as part of a furniture refurbishment.
Before fitting replacement legs:
- Support the furniture safely.
- Remove one existing leg where possible.
- Measure its height and diameter.
- Check the existing thread size.
- Inspect the furniture-frame fixing.
- Compare the replacement 200mm height.
- Confirm the required finish.
- Check that the completed furniture remains level.
Changing from a substantially shorter furniture leg can affect seat height, cabinet height and the overall proportions of the furniture.
If you’re unsure whether this leg is suitable, contact Livedale before ordering.
200mm or 150mm Round Tapered Leg?
The Round Tapered Wooden Leg 40mm Diameter × 150mm Tall provides a shorter and slightly slimmer alternative.
Choose the 45mm × 200mm leg where:
- A 200mm furniture-leg height is required
- Greater floor clearance is needed
- A taller, more prominent leg suits the furniture
- A 45mm diameter provides suitable proportions
Choose the 40mm × 150mm leg where:
- A lower 150mm height is preferred
- Less floor clearance is required
- A slightly slimmer leg better suits the furniture
- A 200mm leg would make the furniture too tall
The 50mm difference in height will be clearly noticeable on the completed furniture.
200mm Tapered Leg or Shaped Wooden Foot?
For another 200mm-high option with a more decorative profile, consider the Shaped Wooden Foot 65mm Diameter × 200mm.
Choose the Round Tapered Wooden Leg where:
- A slim 45mm profile is preferred
- A cleaner tapered appearance suits the furniture
- A lighter visual effect is required
- The leg is intended to look simple and understated
Choose the shaped 65mm foot where:
- A broader wooden profile is preferred
- The leg needs to appear more substantial
- A more decorative shape better suits the furniture
Choosing the Correct Finish
The Round Tapered Wooden Leg is available in four finishes.
Natural
The Natural finish provides a light timber appearance and works particularly well with pale upholstery, neutral interiors and lighter wooden furniture.
Oak
The Oak finish complements furniture and interiors using lighter oak-style timber tones.
Raw
The Raw option is supplied unfinished, allowing the European Beech timber to be stained, painted or otherwise finished specifically for the project.
Wenge
The Wenge finish provides a very dark wood-style appearance suitable for contemporary furniture and stronger contrasts with lighter upholstery.
Raw European Beech for Bespoke Finishing
The Raw option is useful where the furniture leg needs to match an existing timber colour or bespoke furniture finish.
Depending on the required appearance, the European Beech can be:
- Stained
- Painted
- Sealed
- Lacquered
- Polished
Browse Woodcare, Stains & Lacquers for furniture-finishing products.
Before applying a finish:
- Ensure 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 fully before fitting
Metal Glide Fitted to the Base
The leg is supplied with a metal glide fitted to the base.
Where furniture is positioned 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 contact surface to help reduce scratching and marking on suitable hard flooring.
Check periodically that any floor protector remains securely attached and replace it when worn.
Round Tapered Leg or Turned Wooden Foot?
For furniture requiring a broader and more decorative round support, consider the Turned Wooden Foot 90mm Diameter × 125mm.
Choose the Round Tapered Wooden Leg where:
- A taller 200mm leg is required
- A slim profile suits the furniture
- A clean tapered shape is preferred
- Additional floor clearance is important
Choose the Turned Wooden Foot where:
- A broader rounded profile is preferred
- A shorter furniture support is required
- Decorative turned detailing better suits the furniture
Tapered Leg or Wooden Bun Foot?
Bun feet provide a much lower and broader furniture support.
For a compact rounded alternative, see the Wooden Bun Foot 85mm Diameter × 43mm.
Choose the 200mm tapered leg where:
- Furniture needs substantially more height
- A slim visible leg is preferred
- Additional floor clearance is required
- A raised appearance suits the furniture
Choose a bun foot where furniture needs to remain close to the floor and a broad rounded support is preferred.
Round or Square Wooden Furniture Leg?
Round tapered legs create a softer and slimmer appearance than straight-sided square furniture legs.
For square alternatives, browse Square Wooden Feet.
Choose a round tapered leg where:
- Rounded lines suit the furniture
- A lighter visual appearance is preferred
- The furniture requires additional height
- A tapered profile complements the design
Choose a square leg where a heavier, straight-sided profile better suits the furniture.
Protecting the Furniture Base
The Plastic 50mm Serrated Washer is designed for furniture-leg installations and can help reduce movement while preventing the top of a wooden leg from rubbing directly against the underside covering.
Check that the fixing arrangement remains secure and that sufficient M8 thread engages after fitting any washer or additional component.
Check Before Ordering
Before ordering, check:
- 45mm diameter
- 200mm 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 200mm height, as changing from a much shorter furniture foot can significantly alter the finished furniture height and proportions.
