Buying guides
Choose the right legs the first time.
Short, practical guides from the workshop: heights, widths and base sizes for the table you are building.
How tall should table legs be?
Heights for dining tables, desks, coffee tables, consoles and bar tables, and how to subtract the thickness of your top.
What size legs does a dining table need?
Leg width, overhang, how far in from the ends to set the legs, and how many people a table seats.
What size base does a round table need?
How wide the base should be for a steady top, seats by diameter, and bases under square and oval tops.
