TE DEUM 16" Satin Black Hairpin Coffee Table Legs(Set of 4), Metal Heavy Duty Sturdy Sharp Looking Modern Table Legs …

UPDATE: purchased a set of 12” legs to create a stand for our record player and records. We had a damaged cube storage shelf that I turned on it’s side and attached the legs. Fairly simple process and now I’ve given the shelf a new life, and we have a dedicated space for our record player (see third photo). For this project, I used the included screws since they were shorter than the thickness of the material I was drilling pilot holes through. After a winter storm destroyed half our first floor, we had to get rid of a lot of furniture, including a dining table and six chairs. We had another dining table given to us years ago by an old co-worker that was too red for us and had a lot of water damage on the tabletop, and was relegated to the garage for donation. Well, after we got rid of the previous table, we needed something in dining space, so I decided to refinish the table in the garage. After sanding it was starting to look good, but the legs were not sturdy. I bought these hairpin legs to replace the curvy ones that were unstable and bring the table into the modern world. The screws were difficult to turn, and stripped easily. Anyone using this should use different screws to make sure they won’t strip and be too long for their project. I used wood glue to add half-inch squares of wood where I would be attaching the legs - I didn’t want to accidentally drill through the table top I’d spent weeks sanding and oiling. The legs are great and completely change the look of the table. They are sturdy and heavy, which is good since I had to place mine in a weird place since the tabletop has two drop leaf sides. Already looking to buy a few 8-inch and 12-inch legs from this same store/seller for a coffee table and record stand.

Look, these are great and the screws they came with are perfectly fine. I guarantee 99% of the people complaining about the screws are using the wrong screwdriver, and it’s understandable. Tip #1: Use a size P3 screwdriver! Unlike nearly every Phillips screwdriver people typically have around their house (a P2, or Phillips #2), the heads of these screws are P3, or Phillips #3. What does that mean? The narrower, pointier P2 bottoms out in the screw head, preventing proper seating of the entire driver into the screw. So of course you strip them easily. Use the proper driver and you will have zero problems with them stripping out. Tip #2: I used a self-centering drill bit to drill pilot holes, but this isn’t totally necessary. It just helps make a nice clean install. A self-centering bit is amazing for cabinet hardware or any application where you might want holes drilled directly in the center of another hole. They’re cheap and oh so handy. Tip #3: Whether you use a self-centering bit or not, drill a pilot hole about 5/8” deep with about a 5/32” drill bit. Measure up 5/8” from the tip and wrap some painter’s blue tape (or any kind of tape really) around the bit so you’ll know when you’re deep enough. I went with a 5/32” bit so I knew my screws would be slightly tight. Just how I wanted them. Tip #4: I positioned each leg and then used a squeeze clamp to hold it in place while I drilled my holes. This ensures all your holes are in the right place and your leg doesn’t shift around on you while you’re drilling all 5 holes. Tip #5: Because of the angle of these legs in relation to the part you need to put screws through, it’s far more convenient to use an extension on your drill so the legs aren’t in your way. My extension is a 12” and I use it constantly so if you do anything maker-related at all, I highly recommend picking one up. You’ll thank yourself often, and again, they’re not expensive. To recap, 2 things you absolutely need for this install: 1. P3 or #3 Phillips screwdriver or bit. 2. Drill with a bit approximately the size of your screws. 5 things I highly recommend for this install to make your life easier: 1. Self-centering drill bit. 2. A 5/32” drill bit. 3. A 12” impact extension bit for your drill. 4. Painter’s tape or masking tape 5. Tape measure. Good luck. Oh, and if the legs aren’t perfectly even once you install them, you should be able to bend them a little to get them all the same height. If your leg is too tall, bend it outward. If it’s too short, bend it inward. Cheers.

We were wanting to make side tables out of a tree stump and decided to use these 16” furniture legs. They came out great! Very sturdy and look high quality and they were pretty easy to install with the included screws. Definitely recommend

Good item at a good price. Work perfectly on a table I made.

These legs were used for an outdoor beverage table that is used by the chaise loungers. Sturdy and just the right height. I take a star off because the leg cups are cheap. they don't stay on like the legs from other vendors. I may just epoxy them onto the bottoms.

Will order more, in fact I have...these are great for small tables, easy to install, look good and provide a sturdy platform.

Perfect hairpin table legs and good price. 3xs as much elsewhere

Sturdy, comes with little foot attachments to avoid scratching floors. Basically exactly what it claims to be.
