Last week we posted about using yellow construction sawhorse legs for table legs. Let's just say that you readers didn't seem to like them as much as we did. Ahh - the delight of serving our tastes to the highly discerning AT crowd. But we march on, undeterred, thinking of you during a recent jaunt to Ikea where we saw these bright red trestle table legs...
That'll show 'em! I think it all depends on the rest of your decor and what you like. This isn't for me, but I can see it working in certain situations.

i like these legs a lot, saw them in person a few weeks ago. Since i am working on the exact same table top right now.... i would prefer these legs, we have the chrome angular ones and they're just a little boring.

i love these - and also would like to get them into my apartment! i'm wondering - would they be easy to paint? the ikea site says : Base material: Steel, Pigmented epoxy/polyester powder coating
any advice?

love the industrial look right now and while i like the bold yellow and heft of the sawhorses, there's a nicer detail and delicacy to these ones. i was tempted to pick them up from ikea after i saw them in the new catalogue.. but alas i really have no need for them.

I guess, it will depends on how well or study they are, since they are not welded. I also read that these legs can't take a heavy load. Overall, I like the look.

I'm a big fan of red, so I'd love to find a way to use these, especially since they are so cheap!

As with the others, I'd like them better in black...for a desk. Still not a fan of trestles for dining tables, as I don't enjoy banging my legs against them.
