Good Questions: Where to Find Danish Modern Style Legs
Los Angeles

A few months ago, Laure blogged this Nakashima-esque coffee table. I am considering tackling making my own as the first part in redoing my living room. The first step: finding the materials. While I'm hoping to find a live edge wooden slab on Ebay, I'm at a loss when it comes to resources for Danish Modern style wooden legs. Does anyone have a resource?

Got a good question you'd like answered? Send your queries and a photo or two illustrating your question, and we'll see if the ATLA team or our readers can help you out.

Looks like eBay could be your resource yet again, as we found these set of legs available for a modest price. eBay's Parts & Salvaged Pieces is filled with odds and ends to kick off your DIY projects.

There was a post on here recently that said you could get them at Ace Hardware. Here's the link:

Bizarrely, Ace Hardware: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1297665&cp=&sr=1&kw=table legs&origkw=table legs&pg=1&parentPage=search&searchId=39584457234
They have several sizes

what about shorter, stronger tapered legs that might work for a sofa? any ideas?

alexmax- look here- http://www.tablelegsonline.com/shop/furniture-legs-wood-furniture-legs-c-9_39.html

alexmax - There are more legs here:

if you scroll down you will find tapered and conical legs that are somewhat similar to Danish modern furniture legs.

I want to make my own Anthropologie ottoman Nocturne - anyone know where to find turned legs like those? and even on sale for $300 its still too much!

Don't forget the angled top plates: https://www.hardwareworld.com/Angle-Top-Plate-p7OAIYA.aspx

thanks for the info, ratita and loriSF. now i have to figure out if any of these can be used with our new, second hand Ikea Karlstad.

alexmax, maybe considder six legs. one on each corner, and two in the middle.

dahliacactus, good idea. i'm thinking i'll leave the original rear legs in place, as they're not really visible due to the way our LR is set up. we'll see how it goes.

Now that is a good looking hunk of wood. Love the look, we have only seen these projects with iron legs which is also a wonderful look. Here's the link to assist, http://www.maidensofiron.com/
