Ive given you some tips to adding legs to your furniture projects,
now I want to share different styles and types with you.
The 3 legs used on this corner unit
were salvaged from a little queen anne side table.

Even a bed frame can have bun feet added to lift it up.
These bun feet if I recall correctly were found on a curb side love seat.
Just stop the car, jump out, unscrew each leg, and your on your way.

I dont have one great source for legs, I simply watch for them every where I go.
An important thing to keep in mind when thinking about installing legs
is the weight of the furniture and the strength of your legs and install.

And of course if your furniture is better suited for casters
dont stop until you find a great industrial set.
Who doesnt like furniture that moves easily?
KEEP AN OPEN MIND!

PART I A LEG UP adding legs to furniture

A very popular question I get asked about is the legs I add to many of my furniture pieces.
So I thought I would share some project photos and information
to show how dramatic and fun it can be.

Im not going to suggest its simple or easy.
Most every piece needs to be altered in some way to accept a set of legs.
On this particular dresser I had to add an apron around the exterior and bracing between the legs.
Measuring, cutting, gluing, clamping and screwing are needed to be done
when doing these kinds of installs to vintage furniture.
The set of solid wood legs used on this dresser came from a MDF topped coffee table.
Below are some examples of bedside tables Ive added legs to ...

I generally only use 2 fancy legs on the front and stock lumber legs
on the back. Below you can see the 4 solid oak legs used on this set above.
This was the bottom of a very strange open box cabinet thing I found at a yard sale.

Once I added these mini Queen Anne legs this dresser was looking fabulous.
Here is another dresser that originally sat flat on the floor before coming to me.

This black beauty needed to be re-enforced before I could safely add the new feet.
The legs used were purchased new at Windsor Plywood in Langley.
