Lower Brace Add On Custom Table Legs for Dining Room Table and Entry Way Table

Whether you need table legs for a coffee table, stone table, kitchen island, wooden desk, or dining table, my metal table legs offer clean looking, contemporary style. If you have questions about using my metal table legs, let me know, as I have helped guide thousands of DIY table leg projects.

This "Add On" does not include table legs, only the brace kit, as described below:

The Brace Add On is an excellent choice for large, heavy slabs, giving the already strong frame legs incredible strength. This turns two table legs into a freestanding table base!

**Overall Top Spread is NOT the length of the brace (see below)**

This is an ADD ON Product and works on these legs:

(Unfinished "A-Frame Legs" are Pictured)

2" Square Tube Standard "Frame Legs" (brace will be 2" square)
2" Square Tube "Angled Frame Legs" (brace will be 2" square)
2" Square Tube "A-Frame Legs" (brace will be 2" square)
2" Square Tube "H-Frame Legs" (NOT 1/2" rod) (brace will be 2" square)

Add one (1) "Brace Add On" product to your cart for one (1) set of frame legs. Please order at the same time so that I can customize the legs to accept the brace.

The finish will match the finish of your table legs, so if you order black texture powder coating, the brace will also be black texture powder coating. If you order unfinished legs, then the brace will also be unfinished.

**Overall Top Spread**
You are not ordering the brace's cut length - I will calculate that for you. You are ordering the Overall Top Spread. The Overall Top Spread is the measurement across the top of your fully assembled base, once you install the two legs onto the brace. The Overall Top Spread is the measurement from the outside of one leg's mounting plate over to the outside of the other leg's mounting plate. If you need to know the distance between the legs, such as for seating room or something that slides under your table, subtract 6 inches from the overall top spread that you order.

**Assembly Required:
Brace installs with two, 7/16" hex bolts (provided). The bolts thread into the end of the brace. This bolt is tightened via an access hole in the bottom of the leg's cross brace. Once installed, the bolts are 100% hidden for a seamless and very sleek looking design. A 7/16" ratcheting box end wrench is recommend for quick installation.

If you would like a custom length, or want more than two legs that are all connected with braces, please send me a message and I can create a custom order for you.

Frequently Asked Questions:

**Can I connect three legs with braces between each leg?
Yes, you can. You may connect an unlimited number of table legs with braces between each one. This is a great choice for very long tables or thinner tops that need a little extra support in the middle. Many customers also build a design with three legs so that they have well supported shelves under a kitchen counter or island.

**Do I need to assemble these?
Yes. If you order one set of legs and one brace, then you will receive three (3) pieces: Two (2) Legs; One (1) Brace.
Brace installs with two class five, 7/16" hex bolts (provided). The bolts thread into the end of the brace. This bolt is tightened via an access hole in the bottom of the leg's cross brace. Once installed, the bolts are 100% hidden for a seamless and very sleek looking design. A 7/16" ratcheting box end wrench is recommend for quick installation.

**Why are these the BEST legs?
These are the BEST legs because they will never rust (crafted from aluminum), have clean lines (unlike rounded edges of steel), do not have unattractive welds, are lightweight to ship (saves fuel), are very strong, and I carefully handcrafted each one in the U.S.A.

**How are the legs finished?
UNFINISHED so you can paint it however you like!
These legs are an UNFINISHED leg kit so you can conveniently paint them your favorite color, or just leave them natural for an industrial look. Many customers choose to leave them unfinished, but it is only natural that they will arrive with light markings from normal handling and processing, all of which will be hidden with your favorite color of paint.

**Where are these made?
Handcrafted in U.S.A. All of my supplies are made in U.S.A.

**I see lots of STEEL legs for sale. Why do you use ALUMINUM?
I think these are much more beautiful than welded-steel legs because they have very nice, crisp edges. Steel tubing has rounded edges, which gives more of an unfinished look (in fact many are sold unfinished because they're hard to clean and prep for painting!!). I use aluminum because of the perfectly square, contemporary look. Another big reason: Aluminum will never rust! Finally, aluminum is lighter to ship and I believe it is more environmentally friendly, being cleaner to produce and work with.

**Is ALUMINUM as strong as STEEL?
Yes. These legs are VERY STRONG. They are made from 2" square tubing with a wall thickness of 1/8". There is not any flex along the length of the metal. I have stood on tables made from these legs and they do not wobble or bend in any way. A comparable leg in steel would be much thinner in wall thickness, but would have very similar strength.

**Are these legs welded?
No. Welding is against my philosophy as a designer and maker. I think welding is too energy intensive and I don't care for the look of welds, especially on the inside corners of legs. My legs are securely constructed with industry-standard furniture fasteners, which are just as strong as welding, but easier on the environment.

***How does the tree planting program work?
Even though my studio is located on 30 acres of mature forest, I want to ensure that I am helping to build a better, cleaner future. As such, I pay the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 2 trees for each set of legs that I sell. Though trees take some years to really start absorbing carbon, this will ensure that a balance is maintained from my humble studio work (I do not have any climate control).

I also took all of my profits from 2016-2018 and purchased 43 acres of wetlands in the MN boundary waters to help conserve the wild places there. As the wetlands dry out due to climate changes, we are working with the DNR to experiment with assisted migration of tree species that can grow in the area.

FYI: A typical set of table-height legs produces about 20 lbs of CO2 in production. My forest absorbs about 400 lbs. of CO2 per acre, per year, or 12,000 lbs per year. The tree planting program will ensure that this not only continues, but increases every year. So really, your legs are produce CO2 negative by a huge margin! Essentially, each dollar you spend is being cleaned and decarbonized.

In addition, I buy 200% carbon credits to offset my electricity usage. This is added to the entire grid, which is why I buy 2xs what I personally use, to help account for the grid infrastructure, etc.


**Do you provide international shipping?
Yes. Please inquire via a conversation.
