Description
Shaped Wooden Bun Foot 125mm Diameter × 80mm
The Shaped Wooden Bun Foot 125mm Diameter × 80mm is a broad European Beech hardwood furniture foot designed for sofas, armchairs, footstools, cabinets and other furniture where a substantial rounded wooden support is required.
With a 125mm diameter and 80mm height, the foot creates a wider and more prominent appearance than the smaller bun feet in the range while keeping the furniture relatively close to the floor.
Its shaped profile gives it more decorative character than a plain round foot without the taller proportions of a turned furniture leg.
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.

- Fixing: M8 threaded fitting

The combination of a 125mm diameter and 80mm height gives this foot a broad, substantial appearance without raising the furniture excessively from the floor.
Broad Wooden Bun Foot for Sofas & Armchairs
The 125mm diameter makes this one of the broader round furniture feet in the range.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Sofas and settees
- Armchairs
- Upholstered chairs
- Footstools
- Benches
- Cabinets
- Storage furniture
- Occasional furniture
- Furniture refurbishment
- Replacement furniture feet
- New furniture manufacture
The broad rounded profile can work particularly well beneath larger upholstered furniture where a smaller bun foot may appear undersized.

80mm High Furniture Foot
At 80mm high, the foot provides moderate ground clearance while maintaining the lower appearance traditionally associated with a bun-style furniture foot.
This makes it useful where:
- A broad furniture foot is preferred
- The furniture needs to remain relatively low
- A decorative round profile suits the design
- A tall furniture leg would look out of proportion
- A substantial visible timber support is required
Always compare the replacement height with the existing furniture feet before ordering.
Shaped Bun Foot or Plain Bun Foot?
Traditional bun feet tend to have a simpler rounded profile, while this shaped version provides greater visual detail.
Choose the Shaped Wooden Bun Foot 125mm × 80mm where:
- A wide 125mm furniture foot is required
- A more decorative profile is preferred
- The furniture needs a substantial wooden base
- An 80mm height suits the furniture
- The foot will remain clearly visible
For a smaller and simpler alternative, consider the Wooden Bun Foot 87mm Diameter × 54mm.
The smaller bun foot is better suited where a more compact furniture support is required.
Shaped Bun Foot or Turned Shaped Bun Foot?
For a similar decorative style with different proportions, the Turned Shaped Bun Foot 120mm Diameter × 90mm Tall provides an alternative.
Choose the 125mm × 80mm Shaped Bun Foot where:
- A broader 125mm diameter is preferred
- A lower 80mm profile suits the furniture
- A substantial rounded base is required
Choose the 120mm × 90mm Turned Shaped Bun Foot where:
- Slightly more height is required
- A turned profile better suits the furniture
- A more detailed decorative shape is preferred
Looking for a Taller Decorative Foot?
For additional height, consider the Turned Shaped Bun Foot 110mm Diameter × 130mm Tall.
Its 130mm height creates a more prominent furniture support and provides considerably more ground clearance.
Choose the 125mm × 80mm bun foot where a wide, lower-profile support is preferred.
Choose the taller turned version where additional height and a more pronounced decorative profile are required.
M8 Threaded Furniture Foot
The foot is fitted with an M8 thread for use with compatible furniture fixings.
Where the furniture already has a suitable M8 threaded insert, the foot can be screwed directly into place.
Before ordering, check:
- Existing thread size
- Condition of the threaded fixing
- Available mounting area
- Furniture-frame construction
- Required furniture height
- Number of feet required
Do not force an M8 threaded foot into a fixing of a different size.
Where a new threaded fixing is required in a suitable timber frame, M8 T Nuts or M8 D Nuts provide compatible M8 fixing options.
Replacing Existing Furniture Feet
The Shaped Wooden Bun Foot can be used where existing furniture feet are damaged, missing or being changed as part of a refurbishment.
Before fitting replacements:
- Support the furniture safely.
- Remove one original foot where possible.
- Measure its diameter and height.
- Check the existing thread size.
- Inspect the furniture-frame fixing.
- Compare the replacement dimensions.
- Confirm the required finish.
- Check the completed furniture sits level.
Pay particular attention to the 125mm diameter, as the furniture frame needs enough clear space to accommodate the broad top of the foot.
If you’re unsure whether the foot is suitable, contact Livedale before ordering.
Choosing the Correct Finish
The Shaped Wooden Bun Foot is available in six finishes.
Black
The Black finish provides a clean dark appearance that works well with contemporary upholstery and darker furniture.
Mahogany
The Mahogany finish provides a richer traditional appearance suited to classic sofas, armchairs and darker timber schemes.
Natural
The Natural finish provides a lighter timber appearance where the character of the wooden foot is intended to remain visible.
Oak
The Oak finish works particularly well alongside lighter furniture and oak-style interior finishes.
Raw
The Raw option is supplied unfinished, allowing the European Beech 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 upholstery.
Raw European Beech for Bespoke Finishing
The Raw option provides additional flexibility for furniture restoration and bespoke furniture manufacture.
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 fully before fitting
Metal Glide Fitted to the Base
The foot is supplied with a metal glide fitted to the base.
Where the 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 contact surface where correctly fitted.
Check periodically that any floor protector remains secure and replace it when worn.
Bun Foot or Turned Wooden Foot?
For a taller, narrower and more traditionally turned profile, consider the Turned Wooden Foot 90mm Diameter × 125mm.
Choose the Shaped Wooden Bun Foot where:
- A broad 125mm diameter is preferred
- A lower 80mm height suits the furniture
- A substantial rounded base is required
- A bun-style appearance complements the design
Choose the turned foot where:
- More height is needed
- A narrower profile suits the furniture
- The turned shape is intended to remain a prominent feature
For another turned option with a broader profile, see the Turned Wooden Foot 100mm Diameter × 102mm.
Bun Foot or Tapered Wooden Leg?
For furniture requiring considerably more height and a slimmer appearance, the Round Tapered Wooden Leg 40mm Diameter × 150mm Tall and Round Tapered Wooden Leg 45mm Diameter × 200mm Tall provide alternative styles.
A tapered leg is better suited where:
- Greater floor clearance is required
- A slimmer furniture leg is preferred
- A lighter, more raised appearance suits the furniture
The Shaped Wooden Bun Foot is better suited where:
- Furniture should remain closer to the floor
- A broad rounded support is preferred
- A substantial traditional furniture foot suits the design
Check Before Ordering
Before ordering, check:
- 125mm diameter

- M8 threaded fitting
- Existing furniture-foot dimensions
- Available mounting area
- Required finished furniture height
- Furniture-frame construction
- Condition of the existing fixing
