Sofa Legs

Extending the Life of Your Sofa With Replacement Sofa Legs

Over time, sofa legs may become worn and need to be replaced. Rather than purchasing a new sofa altogether just because the legs are cracked or brittle, you could get a more affordable set of sofa legs replacements. You can find a variety of new replacement sofa legs on eBay.

There are many different kinds of replacement furniture legs — from wooden legs to plastic. You'll also find screw-mount sofa legs. These are known to be the universal replacement furniture legs because they do not require any kind of mounting hardware like their wooden or plastic counterparts. With a screwdriver, these legs screw directly into the wood frame of the couch with a wood screw, nothing more, therefore making them the universal go-to in almost any situation where couch legs may need to be replaced.

Replacement couch legs come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Some are round and pointy and some are square and fat, some being taller so that the user sits higher or shorter legs to be closer to the ground. The average sofa is about 21 inches high to accommodate the average person sitting comfortably, and the typical universal, screw-in couch leg replacement would be about 4 to 5 inches. There are legs available that come shorter, close to 3 inches, and some that come taller or close to 6 inches. The height of the sofa legs you choose to purchase is dependent on your sofa and your preference.

The new legs for a sofa should be just as safe for flooring as the previous legs. Most couch legs come with some kind of padding stuck to the bottom of the legs, but if the replacement legs do not come with padding, it is inexpensive and easy to purchase padding with the replacement legs that can be stuck to the bottom of them like a sticker. Flooring such as carpets does not need padding protection.

Replacing sofa legs on a couch is the most cost-efficient option for replacing old or cracked legs. On eBay, sofa legs can be purchased individually or in bulk at discounted prices. eBay sofa legs may come in a variety of conditions, but most of them are new, making purchasing new legs for your sofa on eBay easy and affordable.
