FINISHES

We have 11 professional finishes for you to choose from. They look great, are extremely durable and will protect your legs from rusting. We also offer a 100% natural, raw steel option.

RAW STEEL

100% natural and bare. It will rust, even indoors but it's perfect for people who want to finish the legs themselves or want an industrial, rusted look.

SILVER

The steel is electro-treated with zinc to produce an extremely robust finish, rust proof finish that is even suitable for outdoor use. A perfect pairing for stainless steel.

CLEAR POWDER COAT

Gives a more industrial raw steel look without it turning rusty over time. Clear coat adds a slight sheen to the metal.

COLOUR POWDER COAT

Available in black, white and a range of vibrant colours. Powder coat protects your legs from rust while adding a pop to your project.

COPPER

Copper hairpins give a very striking modern look. This is real copper and will age and develop a beautiful patina over time.

CHROME

Fancy something shiny? Our chrome is polished to a mirror finish and goes great with a dark top.

Delicate floors?
No worries.

Stop damage on delicate floors, and slipping on stone, with our free clip-on floor protector feet.
Colour-matched and included with every set of legs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

While 2 rod legs are strong enough to support the majority of projects, 3 rod legs add stiffness and stability for large – or heavily used – furniture.

We recommend 3 rod legs for the following:

  • Bench/16 inch:
    If your bench needs to support more than three people.
  • Desk or dining table/28 inch:
    We recommend 3 rods for added stability. However, 2 rod legs are suitable for small desks, as long as the top weighs less than 20kg.
  • Console table or bar/34 inch+:
    The longer the legs, the more they flex. For this reason, we only provide our 34 inch legs in 3 rod.

If your buying legs less than 28inches / table height then 10mm is almost definitely going to be strong enough for your needs. They can support well over 200kg - more than we can safely test to!

For desk and dining tables - If your table weighs more than 60kg then we suggest choosing the 12mm legs in the 3 prong version. If you love the 2 prong look then 12mm can help you here too, allowing the creation of sturdy desks and dining tables up to around 25kg.

We also make a set of bench height legs in 12mm just so you can have a matching set for your table, if required.

Yes, please do get in touch for larger orders. We can provide a good trade discount and fast lead times on most items.

All our legs come with free wood screws. They’re suitable for good- condition solid wood, thicker than 18mm.

If your wood is a bit rotten (old scaffold boards, for example), try to use the longest screws possible.

If the wood is really rotten, we suggest putting a nut and bolt the whole way through, to ensure safety. Or find another piece of wood!

For thinner tops (down to around 10mm), we suggest using threaded wood inserts.

Sorry – we make and finish our legs in sets of four. Delivering them in different quantities creates a lot of odd legs around the workshop, which is a bit of a nightmare!

We can manufacture legs to any shape, size and length with a surprisingly fast turn around. Please get in touch to discuss your project

All orders are dispated on the day of ordering and we provide next day delivery in the UK as standard. For the rest of Europe delivery is approximatly 3-4 days. Worldwide orders will be received in most places in less than 7 days.

ABOUT

Who We Are

We’re Adam and Tom, an English design duo dedicated to crafting quality handmade furniture.

The Hairpin Leg Company grew from humble beginnings. We started out in the workshop, using Adam’s granddad’s old welder to create our first sets of steel legs.

Fast forward to today. Having had the pleasure of working with a breadth of hugely talented people who've helped drive us forward, we’re delighted to deliver our designs all over the world!

Why We Love Hairpin Legs

As design fanatics, we love unique items that marry form with function. Hairpin legs do exactly that. Invented by Henry P. Glass in wartime Britain, they were a stylish solution to the need for sturdy furniture legs made with minimal materials.

The slick simplicity of our pins makes it easy for anyone to transform everyday objects and recycled materials into functional furniture. And honestly, nothing makes us more proud than seeing the results once you get your hands on them.

IF YOU’RE HAPPY, WE’RE HAPPY

We are very proud of our products and if you're not 100% happy you can send the legs back to us for a full refund within 60 days - No Questions Asked!
