Common Uses
Hairpin legs are the most popular leg style for live edge dining tables, coffee tables, side tables, benches, and desks. They pair naturally with walnut, maple, and other live edge slabs available at Windsor Plywood, as well as EcoPoxy river table builds and butcher block countertop conversions to freestanding tables.
Pro Tips
- Position legs 2-4 inches inward from each corner of the slab for visual balance. On live edge pieces with uneven widths, test the leg positions on a flat surface and check for wobble before final mounting.
- For heavy slabs (over 2" thick), use three-rod hairpin legs rather than two-rod for additional lateral stability.
- Standard dining table height is 28-30" from floor to tabletop. Subtract the slab thickness from 30" to determine the correct leg height.
