Constructed from heavy-duty metal with a durable powder-coated finish in black, white, or brushed nickel, it combines visual appeal with long-lasting strength.

Transform ordinary furniture into statement pieces with the clean lines and reliable support of the Y-Shape Furniture Leg.

What is the “Y-Shape” Design Advantage?

The “Y-Shape” design of this furniture leg offers both aesthetic and structural benefits. Visually, it creates a striking, open geometric form that is more dynamic than a simple block or round leg. Structurally, the 13cm Y-Shape Furniture Leg provides excellent stability; the splayed arms of the “Y” create a wider effective footprint at the top, distributing weight more evenly and offering superior resistance to lateral rocking or tipping compared to a single vertical post.

What Types of Furniture Are These Legs Best Suited For?

The 13cm height and modern design make the Y-Shape Furniture Leg exceptionally versatile. It is perfectly suited for:
– Sofas, Loveseats, and Sectionals: As replacement or original legs for a mid-century modern or contemporary look.
– Benches and Ottomans: Providing sturdy, stylish support.
– Console Tables, Sideboards, and Media Units: Elevating case goods with a sleek base.
– Kitchen Islands and Cabinets: To create a freestanding furniture feel.
– Desks and Worktables: For a light, airy aesthetic.

 Installation of 13cm Y-Shape Furniture Leg

Installing the Y-Shape Furniture Leg is a simple screw-in process. Each leg has a flat metal mounting plate with pre-drilled holes and integrated threaded inserts. To attach:
1. Position the leg at the corner of your furniture’s base.
2. Mark the hole locations through the mounting plate.
3. Drill pilot holes into the furniture base (if necessary, depending on material).
4. Drive wood screws through the furniture base into the threaded inserts on the Y-Shape Furniture Leg.
5. Tighten securely. For heavy items like sofas, using furniture glue in addition to screws is recommended.

What is the Weight Capacity?
While capacity varies by the specific metal gauge and construction, a well-made metal Y-Shape Furniture Leg can typically support between 50 and 80 kilograms (110-175 lbs) per leg. A set of four Y-Shape Furniture Legs can therefore safely support a distributed load of 200-320 kg (440-700 lbs), making them suitable for most sofas, tables, and storage units. Ensure your furniture’s frame is also structurally sound.

Can the Height Be Adjusted?
The standard 13cm Y-Shape Furniture Leg is a fixed-height leg. If adjustability is required for leveling on uneven floors, you can purchase separate adjustable glides or leveling feet that screw into the bottom of the leg. These are often available as universal accessories and can be added to the Y-Shape Furniture Leg to provide minor height corrections and floor protection.
