What is the ideal DIY table leg?

Depending on your needs, you have the choice between several styles of feet. The choice of your table leg must be consistent with your interior decoration.

Whether you choose a classic, Scandinavian or industrial table leg, the height of the leg is one of the most important parameters to consider. 

A little reminder, here are the heights of the feet for:

– A coffee table: 33 cm or 41 cm

– A dining table: 71 cm

– A high table: 86 cm

Depending on your desires, you can choose between a rectangular, square or round table top.

The style of the DIY table leg

Coffee tables adapt to all styles of architecture: contemporary, industrial and traditional. They fit perfectly into family homes, whether classic or revisited.

Fixing the DIY table leg

The attachment of the table legs depends on the chosen top. 
- For a backgammon square or rectangle, position each table leg 10 cm from the edge of the board in a symmetrical way and fix.
- For a round table, determine the center of the board and draw the diagonal lines that pass through this center point. This process allows you to obtain the 4 perpendicular sides of your table and thus the exact location of the legs.
- For a table over 160 cm long, use sturdy table legs, such as Grafk table legs 
 
To ensure balance and sturdiness, the most effective pose is the straight pose of the table legs. Fix the table legs respecting the 90 degree angle between the top and each leg. For an angled installation, the table leg will be fixed further inside, please define the angle of the inclination.
