Good Questions: Stainless Legs?

2004_7_question mark.jpgDear AT,

Where can I find polished chrome or stainless steel legs, 34 to 36 inches high for a bathroom counter. I'm thinking I can use an angle on the wall side to support the counter and legs on the front side. The legs can take any shape.

Thanks, Ramon

Nice metal table legs are easily found at Ikea as they do a brisk business in tabletops and legs, but for specific bathroom use we would contact:

  • Simon's Hardware
  • Garber Hardware
  • New York Replacement Parts (Thanks, Ramon!) MGR

  •

    There's always the aptly named tablelegsonline.com, too.

    If the counter top is wood you could buy and do the following-

    $20 hollow chrome rod from HD or even less from a hardware store in china town.
    Hack saw or Sawzall.
    Two pieces of 5/8" or 3/4" plywood wood per leg fashioned into roundish shapes that fit snugly into the hollow rod (could even be square as long as it is snug).
    Screw wood pieces to the underside of the countertop where the tops of the legs will be.
    Screw wood pieces directly underneath onto the floor where the bottoms of the legs will be (use a level to get plumb)
    Fit chrome leg (cut to length) over bottom wooden piece.
    Lift coutertop up a bit and slide top of leg under countertop so that it fits over the top wooden piece.
    Repeat on other leg and result is pretty sturdy, looks professional due to no visible screws etc. and is very cheap.

    Room and Board (roomandboard.com) also sells tables in a modular way, similar to the way IKEA does, so you may also be able to buy legs there.
