How to choose furniture feet

Updated: 23 October 2026

You are about to replace a foot under a sofa, a bed, a bench, or a cabinet, and the listing in front of you prints a height, a material word, and sometimes a kilogram. How to choose furniture feet starts with the gap you can measure, then with whether the screws and the load line say what they claim. The nine amazon.co.uk listings on the [Furniture feet](/hub/diy-supplies/furniture-feet) comparison are the examples. This guide is the decision order. It does not name a winner. Shelf prices are the GBP figures from that comparison, read on 21 October 2026. No lab test was run. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Measure the gap before you pick a type

Put the furniture where it will stand and measure the empty space, or the height of the foot you are taking off. A screw-on bumper here adds about 10 mm, 13 mm, 25 mm or 30 mm. A 13 mm bumper cannot level a kitchen. LouMaxx states about 10 mm. Yuexitech’s title states 0–20 mm and also 10 cm, and the saved listing’s URL is a different ASIN, B0F9KJXTLD, so trust the live page. ANBEEISS states 12–18 cm. Bujingyun states no range. SUMNACON is a fixed 5 cm sofa foot. Adjustable with no millimetre range is a word you can reject before you pay.

Check the screws and the material words

Screws are stated for ANBEEISS (sixteen M4 × 16), LouMaxx (32 screws and plates), SUMNACON (four screws about 5 cm), and for the NUTKIT, pafnisoin and Panexf bumpers. Bujingyun does not list screws, and UK reviews say you buy your own. A field that says the pack includes one leaf is not a contents list. Yuexitech does not state screws. Driving them is on how to fit furniture feet. Yuexitech’s title says aluminium and three UK reviews say plastic. pafnisoin’s title says rubber and UK reviews say hard plastic. One NUTKIT pack says rubber and ABS. Bujingyun says stainless steel with no grade. Section 11 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must match the description. Floor rules are on furniture feet on laminate and vinyl.

Read a load line only when it says per foot

A kilogram is only useful when it says who carries it. LouMaxx states about 80 kg per leg, with no method. ANBEEISS states 500 kg per leg, with no method. pafnisoin states 150 kg and Panexf states 300 kg without saying per foot or per set. Do not invent a per-leg figure the listing never printed. Häfele’s AXILO 78 states 250 kg static and a lower load while you adjust. Those figures are not a test of these nine listings. No British Standard was identified for this batch. A kilogram with no method is not proof under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. Entry screw-on packs here run about £4.99 to £6.69.

Match the job, then stop

A sofa that needs a fixed 5 cm step is the SUMNACON height, if 5 cm is what came off the frame. A garden bench, where UK reviews mention one, is the NUTKIT bumper, with the rubber-versus-ABS conflict left visible. A kitchen carcass needs a stated range and a clip. None of these nine listings states a plinth clip. That case is on furniture feet for kitchen cabinets. Call a fitter when a run must share one worktop and the floor falls further than the feet, when services under a sink have to move, or when a foot has already collapsed.

Common questions

Does adjustable mean anything if the listing prints no range?
It means the seller used the word. Bujingyun’s bullet says adjustable height and gives no millimetres, and the is-extendable field says no. ANBEEISS prints 12–18 cm and also has an is-extendable field of no, plus a dimensions row of 3 × 3 × 60 mm. Use a range you can read in millimetres or centimetres. Leave a listing that only says adjustable.
Are the screws actually in the pack?
ANBEEISS, LouMaxx, SUMNACON, both NUTKIT packs, pafnisoin and Panexf state screws, with sizes on several of those bullets. Bujingyun does not list screws, and UK reviews say you supply them. A field that says the pack includes one leaf is not a contents list. Yuexitech does not state screws. If the live page drops a screw line you paid against, section 9 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers goods that do not match the description.
Should I trust rubber, aluminium, or stainless steel on the title?
Trust the title only when the rest of the listing and the UK reviews agree. Yuexitech says aluminium and three UK reviews say plastic. pafnisoin says rubber and UK reviews say hard plastic. One NUTKIT pack says rubber in the bullets and ABS in the material field. Bujingyun says stainless steel with no grade. Those clashes are description problems under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, not details to average away.
Is 150 kg, 300 kg, or 500 kg per foot or per set?
Only ANBEEISS says per leg, at 500 kg, and it names no method. LouMaxx says about 80 kg per leg, also with no method. pafnisoin’s 150 kg and Panexf’s 300 kg do not say per foot or per set. Do not convert those bare numbers into a per-leg capacity. Häfele’s 250 kg static figure belongs to Häfele’s own plinth foot, not to these ASINs.
What if the floor falls further than the feet?
A 10 mm adjuster cannot absorb a fall of several centimetres, and a bumper cannot either. Level the floor first when the fall is large, which is the DIY Doctor point on kitchen runs, or call a fitter when units must share one worktop, when pipes under a sink must move, or when a foot has already collapsed. Buying a second pack from this table does not change the fall in the floor.
