How much weight can a set of 4 legs hold?

The short Answer, about 400 lbs. However, the smaller sizes can hold even more weight. For instance, the 6 inch legs can hold about 1000 lbs or more. The 16s can hold around 800 if secured correctly. Our screws do work well and we have a table we use everyday as our main work table with 28 inch legs, our provided hardware with a Formica mid century top. We have used this table everyday for three years and have never once had a problem. We've stacked close to 300 lbs on this table no problem so we can say our screws and legs together are great for dense woods and composites. Please ask us any questions you have.

Can Hairpin legs be Painted?

Yes, the raw steel option is best for painting.

Is there any difference structurally between a thin "nose" or bottom vs a wide bottom leg? I've seen some shops offer a wider bottom and you offer a tighter, more thin look.

Legs bent around a tighter radius stiffens the leg and makes it more rigid whereas a larger radius nose gives the steel more room to wiggle and bounce causing a shakier table. Our legs have a thinner nose for a more stable leg.

How do I figure out where the bottom of a hairpin will end up on the floor relative to where I secure them to a table?

Multiply .144 by the size of your legs and that will give you the distance from the welds to where the bottom lines up on the ground.

Does it cost extra to ship outside of the contiguous US?

Yes, please contact us for a quote.

Why do you give tek screws aka pan head self tapping screws with every order? Why not give wood screws?

We thought of the best screw for all applications that is cheap enough to offer free of charge. Our best answer to this is the tek screw. Its self drilling so you cant strip the wood, they drill through steel so you dont always need a hole to drill in and they are cheap. We do reccomend to use these until you are able to use a good wood screw that fits your top perfectly. The screws we provide are meant to be a quick fix. The ideal screw would be a wood screw. And you would drill a pilot hole first before you secure the screw. We've honestly never had any complaints except from people who notice they are not for wood. We appreciate this feedback. Please contact us with what screw you need. We do not sell screws at this time. Thanks
