Put table legs on table.... Finshed !

These legs are hollow, with a layer acting as a lid covering what would otherwise be an open-ended leg each. The castors are attached to the "lids". I'm guessing 15kgs of weight on the table would cause the castors to start sinking into the legs.
ReplyDeleteGood job though on the table top.
I put small IKEA castors on my Lack coffee table. It lasted about 10 months and then the lid layer (as eddie describes) collapsed into the hollow leg, twisting and popping the veneer off the legs. I'd say there's a 20-25 lbs limit. Looks great!
ReplyDeletebummer on the leg's max load. Can anyone recommend a better leg replacement?
