Tapered Wood Legs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can tapered wood legs work with modern furniture?

Yes. A tapered profile can complement clean, contemporary designs as well as traditional and mid-century-inspired furniture. Choose a height, shape, style, and finish that works with the proportions and overall appearance of your piece.

Should all four furniture legs be the same height?

For most standard furniture, matching leg heights helps create a level and stable finished piece. Uneven legs can cause wobbling or put extra stress on one corner over time.

How do I choose the right furniture leg height?

Start with the finished height you want for the furniture and account for the thickness of the tabletop or other surface. Consider how the piece will be used, too, since a desk or a dining table may each require different proportions. A quick measurement of your current furniture is a helpful starting point if you're replacing existing legs.

Can tapered wood legs be stained or painted?

Yes, most of our tapered wood legs are made from hardwoods that accept both stain and paint.
