Description

Wooden Bun Foot 87mm Diameter × 54mm

The Wooden Bun Foot 87mm Diameter × 54mm is a compact European Beech hardwood furniture foot for sofas, armchairs, footstools, cabinets and other furniture requiring a traditional rounded support.

With an 87mm diameter and 54mm height, it provides a broader and slightly taller profile than the smaller bun feet in the range while still keeping furniture relatively close to the floor.

The simple rounded shape works well with traditional and contemporary furniture and provides a less decorative alternative to turned or shaped bun feet.

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.

For alternative bun feet, turned feet and tapered legs, browse Round Wooden Feet.

Why Choose an 87mm Bun Foot?

The 87mm diameter provides a useful visual base beneath upholstered and cabinet furniture while the 54mm height keeps the support compact.

Choose this size where:

A broad rounded furniture foot is preferred
Furniture needs to remain relatively low
More height is required than the smallest bun feet provide
An 87mm diameter suits the furniture proportions
A simple rounded profile complements the design
A taller turned leg would be unnecessary

Where replacing existing feet, compare both diameter and height before ordering.

87mm or 85mm Wooden Bun Foot?

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

Choose the 87mm × 54mm Bun Foot where:

Slightly more height is required
A little more floor clearance is useful
An 87mm diameter suits the furniture
A more visible rounded support is preferred

Choose the 85mm × 43mm Bun Foot where:

Furniture needs to sit closer to the floor
A lower-profile support is required
Minimal additional height is preferred

The difference in height is modest but can still affect the finished furniture proportions.

87mm or 68mm Wooden Bun Foot?

For a smaller and more discreet support, see the Wooden Bun Foot 68mm Diameter × 40mm.

Choose the 87mm × 54mm Bun Foot where:

A broader furniture support is required
More of the wooden foot needs to remain visible
Additional height is useful
The furniture proportions suit a larger bun foot

Choose the 68mm × 40mm Bun Foot where:

A compact foot is preferred
The available mounting area is smaller
The support needs to remain discreet
Less floor clearance is required

Wooden Bun Foot or Shaped Bun Foot?

For a much broader and more decorative alternative, consider the Shaped Wooden Bun Foot 125mm Diameter × 80mm.

Choose the 87mm Wooden Bun Foot where:

A simple rounded profile is preferred
A compact furniture support is required
Furniture needs to remain relatively low
An understated wooden foot suits the design

Choose the 125mm Shaped Bun Foot where:

A much broader base is required
More height is suitable
A decorative profile is preferred
The wooden foot is intended to become a prominent feature

Bun Foot or Turned Wooden Foot?

For greater height and a more decorative profile, see the Turned Wooden Foot 100mm Diameter × 102mm.

The Turned Wooden Foot 90mm Diameter × 125mm provides an even taller alternative.

Choose the bun foot where:

Furniture should remain close to the floor
A straightforward rounded support is preferred
Only modest ground clearance is required
A compact furniture foot suits the design

Choose a turned foot where:

Additional height is required
More of the wooden support should remain visible
Decorative turned detailing better suits the 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 a suitable M8 threaded insert, the foot can screw 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 Furniture Feet

The Wooden Bun Foot can be used where existing sofa, chair or cabinet feet are damaged, missing or being replaced during refurbishment.

Before fitting replacements:

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

Replacing matching feet together helps maintain consistent height and appearance.

If you’re unsure whether this foot is suitable, contact Livedale before ordering.

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 timber appearance suited to classic sofas, armchairs and richer upholstery colours.

Natural

The Natural finish provides a lighter wooden 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 timber 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 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 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 bun foot is supplied with a metal glide fitted to the base.

Where furniture will sit on wooden, laminate or other vulnerable hard 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 floor protectors periodically and replace them when worn or damaged.

Bun Foot or Tapered Wooden Leg?

For furniture requiring considerably more height, consider the Round Tapered Wooden Leg 40mm Diameter × 150mm Tall.

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

Choose the Wooden Bun Foot where:

Furniture needs to remain close to the floor
A broad rounded support is preferred
Only modest floor clearance is required
A compact wooden foot suits the design

Choose a tapered leg where:

Greater ground clearance is required
A slim visible leg is preferred
A more raised appearance suits the furniture

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 furniture underside while helping reduce movement where compatible with the fixing arrangement.

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

Check Before Ordering

Before ordering, check:

87mm diameter
54mm 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.

If you’re uncertain about compatibility, contact Livedale before placing your order.
