Assembly Methods for Wood Legs, Counter Islands, and Posts

Finding the perfect table leg for your house isn't the only choice to be made, picking the right installation method is also critical. Screwing and bracing remain two of the most popular assembly methods, but another strategy may suit you better. You may also consider mortising the leg, having a wide box around the post, going tight against a cabinet, or tight around a post. Explore the options below to find the right fit!
