Can I Change the Furniture Feet on My ChairCan I change the ugly furniture feet on my chair for some beautiful Queen Anne legs? Yes you can. Try unscrewing the leg from the chair. If you are able to, you can buy a leg replacement with the bolt in them . To replace them just unscrew your old ones and replace them with the new. If your legs are attached with wood screws you can buy legs with predrilled holes ready to accept the screws. Some even have a predrilled hole for a wooden dowel for added strength. Then there are legs that have a wooden block on top and these can be screwed right into the frame
Another way to attach the legs with a bolt is with a T-nut. This system works well if you have corner blocks on the frame of your chair. To attach, drill a hole in the corner block to accept the bolt on the leg. Put the t-nut on the inside of the corner block over the hole and screw the leg into it. The barbs on the t-nut will embed in the wood and lock itself in place. Another system are leg plates.These just screw in to the bottom of the frame with 4 wood screws. Then you just screw the leg into the plate.This is probably the easiest method.
