This adjustable leveling feet guide fixes the most common furniture problem: a leg that rocks on an uneven floor. Leveling feet screw in and adjust so every leg sits flat. You’ll learn how to match thread size and base style, then level any table, cabinet, or piece of equipment.
Adjusts by hand, no tools required · M4 to M12 plus 1/4″-20 and 5/16″-18 imperial · Stainless versions available
Every leveling foot is one base style and one way of attaching. Answer both and you’ve narrowed to the right foot.
1 Base style
If you need a normal or slim footprint
The standard base suits most furniture; the low-profile sits about 9 mm tall for a discreet look under modern pieces.
If you need extra load spread or a special function
Wide bases spread heavy loads; specialty bases add anti-slip grip, tilt self-leveling, or a slim design profile.
2 Attachment
If the leg already has a threaded hole
Match the foot’s thread size (M8, M10, etc.) to the existing thread and screw it straight in.
If the leg is a hollow metal tube
Press a tube plug with a threaded insert into the open tube, then screw the leveling foot into the insert. See the pairing section below.
Got both answers? You know the base and the attachment. Next, measure your thread and clearance, and for hollow tubes check how leveling feet pair with threaded inserts. Or browse the full lineup.
The two most-used base styles. The standard base covers the widest range of thread and stem lengths. The low-profile sits at just 9 mm tall for modern furniture and tight clearances. Both come with a pad included and notched-thread option for floor protection and vibration resistance.
Use standard or low-profile bases when
Standard & low-profile specifications
The most versatile foot. Tough PA base with a zinc-plated steel rod and plastic locking nut. Adjusts by hand and locks at the chosen height. Covers the widest range of threads (M6 to M12 plus imperial) and stem lengths (10–110 mm). Variants include an integrated PA6 pad for floor protection and a notched-thread version that resists loosening from vibration.
base M6 × 10–63 mm, M8 × 10–43 mm, M10 × 28–63 mm. The everyday standard base.
base M8 × 28–110 mm, M10 × 28–60 mm, M12 × 25–45 mm. For heavier furniture and longer reach.
with pad M6, 1/4″-20, 5/16″-18. PA6 floor-protection pad on the base face. Hardwood and tile.
notched thread M8 × 35 mm or M10 × 50 mm. Notched rod resists loosening from vibration.
notched thread M10 × 50 mm. Heavy equipment, commercial fixtures, vibration-prone applications.
Colors: Black, Grey, White. The standard base is the default starting point when no other constraint forces a different style.
9 mm total height: the most popular style for modern furniture sitting close to the floor. Same construction as the standard base in a slimmer form factor. Pad and notched-thread variants available. For furniture designed to sit nearly flush, the ultra-low profile foot is just 6 mm tall: the lowest profile in the catalog.
low-profile M4 × 10 mm or M6 × 8–19 mm. Small lightweight furniture, designer pieces.
low-profile M8 × 10–48 mm, M10 × 18–50 mm. Dining chairs, desks, tables on hardwood.
with pad M8 × 14–48 mm. PA6 pad built into the base face. Low-profile + floor protection.
notched thread M4 × 10 mm. Compact appliances and equipment subject to vibration.
notched thread M8 × 30 mm. Low-profile + vibration-resistant for larger equipment.
ultra-low (6 mm tall) M8 × 21 mm or M10 × 20 mm. Flush-to-floor modern furniture.
Colors: Black, Grey, White. The low-profile range covers four variants: standard low-profile, with-pad, notched-thread, and ultra-low.
When the standard or low-profile base is not the right fit. Specialty bases cover wide bases for heavy loads, slim and mini for design-led applications, smooth-base for clean visible profiles, and self-leveling tilt or ball-joint feet for uneven floors.
Use wide or specialty bases when
Wide & specialty specifications
The Ø 50 mm base distributes load across a larger footprint for heavy furniture, workbenches, and commercial equipment where standard bases would concentrate too much pressure on a small area. Available in standard polymer and anti-slip TPE versions. M8 thread; 23 mm and 28 mm stem lengths.
× 23 mm PA base. Heavy tables, workbenches, server racks. The default wide base.
× 28 mm PA base, longer stem. Heavier equipment, commercial shelving with more reach.
anti-slip, M8 × 23 mm TPE rubber base. Fixed-position heavy equipment on smooth hard floors.
The anti-slip TPE version grips the floor instead of gliding, use it for heavy equipment that must hold position. The standard PA version is the default choice for workshop, lab, and commercial furniture.
Three purpose-built bases for design-led applications. The slim base (Ø 40 mm) gives a clean, intentional profile under contemporary furniture. The mini (Ø 13 mm) is the smallest foot in the catalog for delicate pieces where a standard base would look oversized. The smooth base (Ø 30 mm) hides all hardware on the base face for a finished look; a hex-key version adds precise sub-millimeter adjustment with an Allen key.
M8 × 20 mm. Clean-profile base for contemporary furniture. Intentional, not industrial.
M6, stem 15 or 20 mm. Smallest base in the catalog for small, lightweight furniture.
M8 × 28/33 mm or M10 × 18/33 mm. Rounded profile, no exposed hardware on the base face.
M8 × 14/33 mm or M10 × 33 mm. Hex-key socket on top face for precise Allen-key adjustment.
For floors with significant slope, two self-compensating options skip the per-leg adjustment step. The tilt foot uses a pivoting base that auto-levels up to 9° of floor slope on one axis, most useful for dining tables and desks. The ball-joint foot has a full 360° pivot for furniture on sloped floors, ramps, or angled surfaces where the slope direction varies. Both maintain full base-to-floor contact without manual adjustment.
tilt, 9° M8 × 30 mm, M10 × 30–50 mm. Auto-compensates floor slope. Dining tables, desks.
tilt, 9° M10 × 30–50 mm. Wider base for heavier furniture on uneven floors.
ball-joint M4 × 10 mm. Compact 360° pivot for small furniture on sloped surfaces.
ball-joint M8 × 30 mm. Standard 360° pivot for larger furniture on ramps or angled floors.
Standard and low-profile bases with a stainless steel rod instead of zinc-plated steel. For outdoor furniture, marine environments, food-service equipment, and any application where corrosion resistance is required. The stainless rod resists salt spray, humidity, and cleaning chemicals that corrode standard zinc-plated rods over time. This stainless chapter covers three configurations for the most common needs.
Use stainless versions when
Stainless specifications
Polymer base with a stainless steel rod instead of zinc-plated steel. The most common stainless configuration. Resists salt spray, humidity, and cleaning chemicals that corrode standard rods over time. Ø 30 mm and Ø 45 mm bases. Threads M6 to M10. Black and Grey.
SS rod M6 × 18 mm, M8 × 24–28 mm, M10 × 28 mm. Outdoor furniture, wet rooms, food service.
SS rod M10 × 28–40 mm. Commercial outdoor and marine equipment. Heavier-duty stainless option.
Use the stainless version for any indoor application with regular floor washing (commercial kitchens, healthcare floors) and all outdoor or marine installations.
Low-profile polymer base with stainless steel rod. 9 mm height plus corrosion-resistant hardware. For outdoor and marine furniture where a low-profile foot is required and the rod will see moisture or chemicals.
with 9 mm base height. Outdoor low-profile furniture; salt-spray resistance.
Anti-slip TPE base with a stainless steel rod and stainless hex nut. Stainless throughout. The TPE base grips smooth, hard floors instead of gliding. For marine equipment, outdoor fixtures, and food-service applications where both grip and corrosion resistance are required. Distinctive blue base color makes it easy to identify in service.
anti-slip stainless M8 × 35 mm. Blue TPE base + stainless rod + stainless nut. Marine, food service, hygiene-critical.
This is the only fully-stainless foot, base hardware, rod, and locking nut are all corrosion-resistant.
Get the thread size right and everything else falls into place. Get it wrong and the foot will not thread in. Three measurements pin down the right foot: thread size, base diameter, and stem length.
Thread size
Read the marking on the pre-tapped hole, threaded insert, or tube plug insert. Common: M6 , M8, M10, M12; imperial 1/4″-20, 5/16″-18.
Which foot thread to order. Must match exactly.
Base diameter
Measure clearance under the leg with calipers or a ruler. Account for any decorative trim or skirt.
Standard (Ø 30/45 mm), low-profile (Ø 20/30 mm), wide base (Ø 50 mm), or specialty.
Stem length
How much height adjustment range is needed? Measure floor unevenness across the whole footprint of the furniture.
Short stems (8–20 mm) for level floors; long stems (40–110 mm) for big slope or seasonal adjustment.
Environment
Indoor dry, indoor wet, outdoor, or marine? Will the foot see cleaning chemicals or salt spray?
Zinc-plated steel rod (default) or stainless steel rod (outdoor, marine, food service).
Finding your size: Get the thread size right first (M8, M10, M12, and so on). Then filter by base type and check the stem length and base diameter on each product page. For hollow tube legs, the thread is set by the plug’s threaded insert, not the leg.
The thread on the rod and the diameter of the base tell you exactly what to order. This is the single fastest way to avoid a wrong-size mistake on commercial fit-outs.
Hollow metal tube legs need a separate measurement for the tube wall thickness before selecting a threaded-insert tube plug. See the tube plug pairing chapter below for the full two-part install.
A common question: hollow metal tube legs have no threads to accept a leveling foot directly. The fix is a two-part install. Press a threaded-insert tube plug into the open tube end, then thread the leveling foot into the metal nut inside the plug. No drilling, no welding, no adhesive. The plug grips the tube wall mechanically; the foot threads in by hand. This pairing makes any hollow-tube furniture leg leveling-compatible.
1
ing three things: the tube profile (round, square, or rectangular), the tube wall thickness, and the thread size you need (M6, M8, M10, or M12). The plug shape and wall thickness determine grip; the thread determines what leveling foot fits inside.
2
ress down. The ribbed outer wall compresses slightly and springs back to grip the tube wall mechanically. No adhesive needed. Most sizes go in by hand; tight fits may benefit from a wood block and rubber mallet. The plug head should sit flush with the tube face when fully seated.
3
he insert (M6 foot for M6 plug, and so on). Thread by hand from below; clockwise raises the furniture, counter-clockwise lowers. Adjust each leg until level, then tighten the locking nut. The result is a fully adjustable, removable leveling system on any hollow metal tube leg.
Here’s the standard four-step install. Adjustable leveling feet thread in by hand, adjust by hand, and lock with a finger-tight nut. The installation chapter is straightforward: no tools needed for the standard, low-profile, wide-base, specialty, or smooth-base feet. Hex-key versions add an Allen key for sub-millimeter precision; tilt and ball-joint versions auto-compensate for slope. If your feet rest on wood, the National Wood Flooring Association publishes floor-care standards worth following.
Thread the leveling foot into the pre-tapped hole or threaded insert from below. Turn clockwise to raise the furniture, counter-clockwise to lower. For hollow tube legs, press a threaded-insert tube plug into the tube first, then thread the foot into the plug insert. Stop when the base of the foot is close to the floor.
Place the furniture upright on the floor. Each foot should make contact. Spin individual feet up or down by hand until the furniture sits roughly level. This is the rough pass, don’t worry about getting it perfect yet.
Place a spirit level on the furniture top. Adjust each foot independently until the bubble sits centered along both axes. Hex-key versions let you do this with an Allen key for precise sub-millimeter changes. Tilt and ball-joint feet skip this step, they auto-compensate.
Once level, slide the locking nut down the foot rod and tighten it against the underside of the furniture base by hand. This jams the foot against the furniture and stops it from rotating during use. Notched-thread versions hold position without a locking nut: the notches resist rotation from vibration.
Hollow metal tube legs: press a threaded-insert tube plug into the open tube end first. The plug ribs grip the tube wall mechanically. Then thread the leveling foot into the metal nut inside the plug. Choose the plug shape (round/square/rectangular), thread size, and tube wall thickness to match.
Hex-key adjustment: on smooth-base hex-key feet, the height adjustment is done from above with an Allen key inserted into the socket on the top face. This makes fine adjustment possible without crawling under the furniture.
Tilt and ball-joint feet: no per-leg leveling needed. Install all four feet, set them to roughly equal heights, and let the pivoting base compensate for floor slope automatically.
Removable and reusable Adjustable leveling feet are threaded fasteners — they screw in and out without damaging the furniture: To remove, loosen the locking nut and unscrew the foot by hand. The same foot can be reused in a new piece of furniture as long as the thread size matches. For replacements, match the thread, base diameter, and stem length of the old part.
Two ways to fix a rocking leg. Here we weigh shimming (cardboard, wedges, plastic shims) against threaded adjustable leveling feet. Both work as a quick fix; only one is the right longer-term solution for furniture that stays in place.
Four materials are used across the range. PA polymer is the main base material. POM is used for the smallest precision bases. TPE provides the anti-slip floor-contact layer. The threaded rod is either zinc-plated steel (default) or stainless steel (outdoor and marine).
Higher dimensional stability and tighter tolerances than PA at small diameters. POM is used on the mini base (Ø 13 mm) where the small size demands precision threading and a rigid base structure. The reason mini bases stay round and threads stay clean at such a small diameter.
Used in: mini base feet (Ø 13 mm). Temperature range: −40 to +85°C. Properties: high dimensional stability, low creep, good machinability.
Polyamide is the main base material across the catalog. Tough, load-rated, resistant to commercial cleaning chemicals. Low friction coefficient. PA is what gives leveling feet their structural strength under sustained load.
Used in: standard, low-profile, wide-base, slim, smooth, tilt, and ball-joint bases. Temperature range: −40 to +85°C. Load: rated per individual foot.
Combines rubber characteristics with plastic processability. Excellent abrasion resistance. Used as the floor-contact layer on anti-slip versions, grips smooth hard floors instead of gliding. The difference between heavy equipment that stays put and equipment that creeps under operation.
Used in: wide-base anti-slip foot and anti-slip stainless foot. Temperature range: −51 to +124°C. Properties: high friction coefficient on smooth hard floors.
Fe HDG (hot-dip galvanized iron): the standard threaded rod on indoor leveling feet. Stainless steel (304): corrosion-resistant rod for outdoor, marine, food-service, and wet-room applications where the rod will see salt spray, humidity, or cleaning chemicals.
Used in: threaded rod across all adjustable leveling feet. Diameters: M4, M6, M8, M10, M12, plus imperial 1/4″-20 and 5/16″-18. Same load ratings, different material costs.
These are the questions we get most often about adjustable leveling feet. If you do not see your question, our specialists will help you match the right base style, thread size, and stem length to your furniture or equipment. The FAQ chapter covers the most common edge cases.
The standard base is taller (about 14–18 mm) and comes in Ø 30 mm and Ø 45 mm diameters with the widest thread and stem-length selection in the range (M6 to M12, stems 10–110 mm). The low-profile base is just 9 mm tall and comes in Ø 20 mm and Ø 30 mm diameters with M4 to M10 threads. Pick standard for traditional furniture where the foot is hidden under a skirt; pick low-profile for modern furniture sitting close to the floor.
The thread on the leveling foot must match the pre-tapped hole or threaded insert exactly. Common metric sizes are M6, M8, M10, and M12; common imperial sizes are 1/4″-20 and 5/16″-18. If you are replacing existing feet, the fastest way to know is to remove one and read the thread marking on the rod. For new installations, the threaded insert or tube plug determines the thread size.
The pad version has a PA6 floor-protection pad bonded to the base face. Use it when the furniture sits directly on hardwood, tile, or vinyl and you want the leveling foot to also protect the floor. For furniture on carpet, the pad is unnecessary; the carpet already protects the floor. For wide-base feet on workbenches and equipment, the pad is not typically needed because the base area distributes load.
Load capacity varies by base style, thread size, and rod material. Wide-base Ø 50 mm feet are rated for the heaviest static loads (commercial workbenches, server racks, industrial equipment). Standard Ø 30–45 mm bases handle typical furniture and commercial seating. Mini and ultra-low feet are for light furniture only. Check the individual product page for exact static load ratings before specifying for heavy commercial use.
Specify the stainless rod version for outdoor furniture, marine environments, commercial kitchens, healthcare floors with daily chemical cleaning, and any wet-room application. The stainless rod resists salt spray, humidity, and cleaning chemicals that corrode standard zinc-plated rods over time. For normal indoor environments (residential, office, retail) the standard zinc-plated rod is the right choice at lower cost.
The hex-key version has an Allen-key socket on the top face of the base. This lets you fine-tune height with an Allen key from above instead of spinning the whole foot from below. Use it for shared workstations where users adjust their own desk height, precision-leveled equipment that needs sub-millimeter accuracy, and any installation where reaching under the furniture is awkward.
Yes, but choose the base style carefully. A wide Ø 50 mm base distributes weight and resists sinking into the carpet pile. Standard Ø 30 mm bases work on short-pile carpet. Avoid small bases (mini, Ø 20 mm low-profile) on plush carpet — they push down into the pile and the furniture rocks. Anti-slip TPE versions are not needed on carpet; the carpet itself prevents sliding.
The tilt foot has a pivoting base that automatically compensates for floor slope up to 9° on one axis. Instead of adjusting each leg manually to level the furniture, the tilt foot maintains full base-to-floor contact as the floor tilts. Useful for dining tables and desks on uneven tile or concrete floors. The ball-joint version goes further: full 360° pivot for furniture on ramps, sloped floors, or angled surfaces.
Most leveling feet have a PA (polyamide) base — tough, load-rated, resistant to commercial cleaning chemicals. Mini bases use POM (polyoxymethylene) for the higher precision tolerance needed at Ø 13 mm. Anti-slip versions use TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) for the grip layer that contacts the floor. The threaded rod is zinc-plated steel (Fe HDG) on standard versions and 304 stainless steel on outdoor/marine versions.
Hollow tube legs have no threads to accept a foot directly. The workaround is a two-part install: press a threaded-insert tube plug into the open tube end, then thread the leveling foot into the metal nut inside the plug. The plug grips the tube wall mechanically without adhesive or tools. Match the plug shape to the tube (round, square, or rectangular) and the plug insert thread size (M6, M8, M10, or M12) to the leveling foot you want to use.
Yes. Adjustable leveling feet thread in and out of standard tapped holes or threaded inserts. Loosen the locking nut, then unscrew the foot by hand. The same foot can be installed in a new piece of furniture as long as the thread size matches. Notched-thread versions are also reusable — the notches resist rotation under vibration but do not prevent intentional removal.
The locking nut is a plastic nut threaded onto the foot above the base. Once you have dialed in the right height, tighten the nut up against the furniture base. This jams the foot against the furniture and stops it from rotating during use. Without the locking nut, vibration or someone leaning on the table can slowly turn the foot and change its height. Notched-thread versions work without a locking nut for compact equipment, but on furniture that gets bumped regularly, the locking nut is the cleaner solution.
