Anwenk Leg Mounting Plates, Furniture Leg Attachment Plates T-Plate 5/16" (M8) Sofa Legs with Hanger Bolts,Screws,Strengthen Weak Furniture Repair Damaged Sofa Couch Seat,Set of 4,Black

My kids went a little too hand on a bench and broke off a leg. This made the legs so sturdy! I’m not worried about the legs breaking anymore.

Great quality exactly what I wanted

I just installed this along with a set of wood bun feet to add height to my old captains bed. It was easy to install and so far so good. Very happy with the results.

If you, like me, bought some old school IKEA table legs, and managed to forget where you put the plates when moving ( they're here SOMEWHERE!) these will fit the table legs. They come in a great little package that keeps everything convenient and tidy. I would suggest that as soon as you open it, throw out the wood screws that come with it and go buy some decent ones. The heads sheared off the screw body when I was trying to mount the plates (and yes, I did pre-drill the holes). I've been working with hardware for decades, and I have never seen anything like this. So go get yourself some proper screws, and then these should work a charm for you.

Worked perfect in my application

I have an antique chair that the kids jumped on and broke the legs. I bought replacement legs, but needed a sturdy way to attach them. I ordered these mounting plates and was happy to see that they were very sturdy. I was unhappy to find that the screws included to attach the plates to the chair were very soft metal and not only bent, but broke with any torque. I just used screws I had in my workshop, so it was not a huge deal for me, but if you don't have that option, you will definitely need to get stronger screws. Other than that, all the parts are there, plus some extras just in case. This is still a great product.

I recently bought an IKEA Kivik sectional and wanted to put taller feet on it to make it sit a little higher. The brackets that came with the feet were round and had too little clearance on the outer edge to secure the screws into the wood frame (because the holes IKEA drilled for their plastic feet were quite large), so I purchased these. They were extremely easy to install and the screws went into the wood easily enough with a screw driver without my having to pre-drill.

These are the sizes of drill bits and tools needed for installing into red oak. If installing into harder hardwoods, such as maple or granadillo, increase the bit size by 1/64". If installing into softwoods, like pine or spruce, decrease the bit size by 1/64. For red oak, you will need 7/64 for the 4 screws that attach each plate, 1/4" for the 2" screw that goes into it, 7/16 for the threaded insert that goes into the leg and an 8 mm (or 5/16") allen wrench for the insert. The 7/16" bit might be a problem if you have a 3/8" drill and the bit shaft is not turned down. I ran into that problem, so I used a 7/16 blade bit, which is not the best solution. My legs are 28" long, so would not fit into a workbench-mounted drill press. My suggestion is to take the 7/64" bit (not the 7/16!) and use it to drill a pilot hole into the axis of the leg. If done horizontally, your drill might have a bubble level to help you drill it more or less straight. If using a 7/16" blade, drill a 1/2" deep hole next for the insert. Then drill the 1/4" hole 1 3/4" deep because most of the 2" screw will have to go into the leg. To screw in the threaded insert, you will need the 8 mm (or 5/16") allen wrench, which is much larger than found on most of the common "key ring" sets of allen wrenches. I used two ordinary SAE 1/2" nuts to lock the threads so that I could screw in that 2" screw using a set of box wrenches (a 13 mm and a 1/2" wrench will work well). Technically, it is not really a hanger bolt, which has metal threads on one side and wood threads on the other. Anyway, the problem with the lock nuts that is that the depth of the plate is only 1/4", so that you have to leave only 1/4" of the screw sticking out of the leg insert. The 2 nuts have a length of 1/2", so I had to use pliers to grab the threaded part of the screw and make it go in more. It did not seem to damage the threads, but be careful (I would not use a vice-grips to do that). If the screw is too loose inside the insert, you can try a thread locker like Locktite or even some superglue. When mounting the bracket, use a Sharpie to mark the 4 holes and the center. Drill a 1/4" depression into the center mark using the 5/16" drill bit just in case the screw extends more than 1/4". Then use the 7/64" for the 4 small holes. You would be smart to use a medium screw driver and insert the screws by hand, not with a power screw driver, in order to avoid damaging the screw heads or stripping the hole threads.I used these to connect four 1 1/2" legs to a round table, 3/4" thick, all red oak. I had previously tried the locking hinges sold here on Amazon and found the table too wobbly, but otherwise stable. I was hoping these leg attachments would work better. When screwed in tightly, the plates contact the legs only in a diameter of about 1". The table was, maybe, slightly less wobbly than the hinge setups, but still not ideal. I wanted the legs to either be removable or to fold under the table. While all tables wobble to some extent, I am not totally satisfied with this solution.Since I first reviewed this, I found the Waddell leg brackets sold here on Amazon (and at Lowe's). They have 4 bracket plates that are wider and have a larger and flatter contact area for the top of the leg. While it has a set of 16 screws for attaching the plates, you will need to use suitable inserts for 5/16-18 threads and the 5/16-18 screws, which will make using the Waddells much more expensive, although much more effective.

The mounting plates are pretty sturdy, they’re flat and not deformed, easy to screw on. Used it on an mcm desk-turned-vanity, not sure how the included screws would hold up with heavier items. I’m happy with my purchase.

Good quality and provide everything I needed to repair the leg on my ottoman. Happy with this purchase.

The perfect fix for my snapped sofa leg. Could have done with instructions or useage guide, but as i had fixed a leg before, i knew what i was doing. If my wife had ordered it, she would have been lost.

Sturdy fixing kit that sorted a broken fixture in a chair

I got these to repair my sofa. Works great. No issues. Discreet.
