01
Hardware check
Attach the feet after unpacking the metal legs
Lay out the legs, foot plates, glides, washers, and supplied hardware. Confirm every part is present before the tabletop is moved.
Installation guide
Metal table leg installation guide
Installing metal legs on a solid wood or epoxy slab table is straightforward only when the surface is protected, the placement is measured, and the hardware is matched to the tabletop. This guide turns a basic diagram into a safer, clearer installation sequence.
Metal table
Metal table leg installation guide
Use this sequence for freestanding metal legs or metal base frames that support the tabletop without drilling through the finished surface.
02
Surface protection
Apply anti-slip pads to the contact points
Place pads on the corners or base contact areas so the frame grips the floor and the table sits with quieter contact.
03
Placement
Move the leg set into its final position
Set the base where the table will live, then check visual balance, room clearance, and seating space before the top is lowered.
04
Final placement
Lower the tabletop onto the metal legs
Use enough people to lift the slab evenly. Set the tabletop down slowly, then check level, overhang, and stability before daily use.
Solid wood table
Solid wood table leg installation guide
Use this sequence when the base or legs are positioned against a solid slab top and the underside needs controlled placement.
01
Protective contact
Apply anti-slip pads to the table legs
Pad the leg contact points first so the base can be adjusted without marking the floor or shifting unexpectedly.
02
Leg position
Adjust the legs to the right position
Align the legs for the intended setback, seating clearance, and balanced overhang before the tabletop is committed to the base.
03
Set and check
Place the tabletop and confirm the table is stable
Lower the slab with controlled support, then check each corner, glide contact, and table movement before the piece is used.
Acrylic wood table
Acrylic wood table leg installation guide
Use this sequence for acrylic or mixed-material bases where the tabletop must be set gently and checked for even contact.
01
Base protection
Apply anti-slip pads to the acrylic base
Add pads before placement so the base has consistent floor contact and the transparent material is not dragged across the floor.
02
Alignment
Adjust the base into the intended position
Review the overhang from every side. Transparent bases make placement easy to notice, so center the tabletop before loading it fully.
03
Complete
Place the tabletop and complete the stability check
Set the top down gently, then confirm the base is square, level, and fully supported before the table is moved or used.
Important safety note
Do not guess on screw length, drilling depth, or lifting method.
Tabletop thickness, insert style, pilot hole depth, and base design vary by project. If the supplied screws appear too long, too short, or incompatible with the mounting plate, stop before drilling. For heavy dining and conference tables, professional installation is recommended.
Installation questions
Details that prevent common installation mistakes.
Do I need professional installation?
For large dining tables, conference tables, unusually heavy slabs, or unfamiliar mounting hardware, professional installation is the safer option. The tabletop weight and finished surface make handling more important than the number of screws.
How far from the table ends should the legs be installed?
There is no single universal setback. It depends on table length, seating plan, base style, overhang preference, slab shape, and whether chairs need to clear the base. Measure for both visual balance and practical legroom.
Can I drill directly into resin?
Do not assume resin-only areas are appropriate mounting points. Hardware should be planned around the structure of the tabletop and the supplied mounting system. If the plate lands over resin, voids, or unstable edge features, confirm before drilling.
What if the supplied screws seem too long?
Stop before drilling. Screw length must be compatible with tabletop thickness and pilot hole depth. A screw that is too long can break through the finished top surface; one that is too short may not hold securely.
Why does the table still rock after installation?
Rocking can come from uneven floor conditions, unadjusted glides, uneven fastener tension, or an installation position that is not square. Check the floor first, adjust glides if available, then inspect the base connection.
