The legs of a table play a crucial role in determining its overall appearance and functionality. When choosing the right legs, it is important to consider the different materials used to make table legs and what each has to offer. Here are three popular materials to consider for your next table project.
Wood
Wood is a common and classic choice for table legs. It brings a natural touch to your decor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. You can choose from a variety of species, such as oak, maple, and cherry, to complement your decor. As much as we love wood, thing to consider is – how much is too much. Tables made of the same wood on the legs and the top can look outdated and heavy. Also, not all materials will look their best on wooden legs and for some, like stone tops, a massive wood base would be required to support the required weight.
Iron
Cast iron legs offer more classical style. They can support the tabletop with ease. Cast iron is also durable and weather-resistant, making it a great option for tables that need to withstand the elements. However, legs made of cast iron can get extremely heavy and expensive.
Aluminum
Aluminum is a lightweight metal that is commonly used for furniture and table legs. It is easy to work with and offers a clean, modern look. However, it is not as strong as steel and can be more expensive. Aluminum legs are versatile and can be used in a variety of design styles. Also, many of the aluminum legs on the market are mass-produced in factories in China and can’t be customized.
Steel
Steel is a strong, durable metal that is widely used in construction and furniture making. It is easily molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, making it a versatile choice for table legs. Steel is also very affordable and readily available, making it a popular choice for many table builders. In Stalove you can find many designs of legs in both modern and more classical styles as steel allows us to offer a variety of shapes as well as powder coat colors. We are welding the legs “in house” so customizations as well as bringing your own design into life are possible.
