Attaching the legs to your furniture is a straightforward process that ensures stability and gives your piece a finished look. This guide will walk you through the steps to securely attach the legs using the screws provided in your package, as well as offer helpful tips to prevent any damage to your floor.
What You’ll Need:
-
Four screws (provided in the package)
-
Fitting plate (provided in the package)
-
A screwdriver (preferably a Phillips head)
-
Floor protection pads (included or purchased separately)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Unbox the Components
Start by removing the legs, screws, fitting plate, and any other included items from the package. Ensure that you have all necessary components before beginning the assembly. -
Position the Fitting Plate
On the bottom of the furniture piece, locate the areas where the legs will be attached. You will typically see pre-drilled holes where the screws will go. Take the fitting plate (which is included in your package) and align it with the holes. -
Attach the Fitting Plate to the Furniture
Using the four screws provided in the package, begin attaching the fitting plate to the base of the furniture. Insert each screw into the pre-drilled holes and tighten them using a screwdriver. Make sure the fitting plate is securely fastened but avoid overtightening to prevent damaging the wood or material. -
Attach the Legs to the Fitting Plate
With the fitting plate in place, you can now attach the legs. Align the metal fitting on the top of each leg with the screw holes on the fitting plate. Once aligned, tighten the screws by hand or with the screwdriver, ensuring that each leg is firmly secured. -
Check Stability
After all the legs are attached, check the stability of the furniture. Gently shake the piece to make sure the legs are properly installed and securely fastened. If there is any wobbling, recheck the screws and tighten them as needed.
Floor Protection
To avoid any potential damage to your floors, it is highly recommended to use floor protection pads under the legs. These pads help to prevent scratches, scuffs, and other marks on your flooring while also providing extra stability.
If floor protection pads were included in the package, simply peel off the backing and stick them to the bottom of the legs. For best results, make sure the pads cover the entire surface area of the legs that will come in contact with the floor.
Helpful Tips:
-
Tightening the Screws: Be careful not to overtighten the screws as this may strip the threads or cause damage to the furniture. Tighten them just enough to secure the legs firmly.
-
Use a Soft Surface: When attaching the legs, try to do it on a soft surface like a carpet or blanket to avoid any scratches or damage to the furniture while you work.
-
Adjust for Stability: If your furniture has an uneven surface, consider using adjustable screw-on feet, which allow you to make slight height adjustments for balance.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting:
-
Wobbly Legs: If the furniture piece is still wobbly after attaching the legs, double-check that all the screws are fully tightened. Also, verify that the floor is even and that the floor protection pads are correctly placed.
-
