Safety Information
Important Safety Notice: Drilling into furniture legs can be hazardous. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by professionals or individuals with adequate experience in woodworking and power tool operation.
- Ensure the furniture legs have a diameter greater than 1-1/4" to prevent cracking during installation.
- Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 1320 lbs for the leveling feet.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, when drilling.
- Secure the furniture piece firmly before drilling to prevent movement.
Installation Guide
Recommended Tools:
- Electric Drill
- 1/2" Drill Bit (for wood legs)
- Hammer
- Measuring Tape
- Pencil or Marker
- Safety Glasses
Installation Steps:
- Prepare Furniture Leg: Fix the furniture leg in a stable and suitable position to facilitate drilling. Ensure the leg diameter is greater than 1-1/2" to prevent cracking.
- Drill Hole: Using an electric drill, create a hole with a diameter of 1/2" and a depth greater than 1-1/2" into the center of the furniture leg.
- For Wood Legs: Use a 1/2" drill bit.
- For Metal Legs: A 3/8" threaded insert must first be welded into the metal leg before installing the leveling feet. This product does not include welding instructions or tools.
- Insert T-Nut: Insert the provided T-nut into the drilled hole. Use a hammer to gently tap and tighten the T-nut until it is flush with the surface of the furniture leg.
- Screw in Leveler: Screw the leveling foot into the T-nut. Turn clockwise until it is securely seated.
- Attach Felt Pads: Apply one of the high-density felt pads to the bottom of each leveling foot. These pads help protect floors and reduce noise. Eight pads are included (4 for initial use, 4 for future replacement).

Operating and Adjustment
Once installed, the height of the furniture can be easily adjusted to achieve perfect leveling and stability. The adjustment range is between 1 inch and 2 inches.
- Identify Unevenness: Place the furniture on a flat surface and identify which legs need adjustment to eliminate wobbling.
- Adjust Height: Rotate the base of the leveling foot clockwise to decrease height or counter-clockwise to increase height. Make small adjustments to each leg as needed.
- Verify Stability: After adjustment, gently push on the furniture from different angles to ensure it is stable and does not wobble. Repeat adjustments if necessary.

Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TWIG leveling feet, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leveling feet with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the finish.
- Felt Pad Replacement: The included felt pads are designed for durability, but may wear out over time. Replace them with the spare pads provided when they become dirty or lose their effectiveness to continue protecting your floors.
- Periodic Check: Periodically check the tightness of the leveling feet to ensure they remain securely screwed into the T-nuts. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
- Load Capacity: Always adhere to the maximum load capacity of 1320 lbs. Overloading can compromise the integrity of the levelers and the furniture.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture wobbles after installation. | Legs are not evenly adjusted. | Adjust each leveling foot individually until the furniture is stable on a flat surface. |
| Leveling foot feels loose. | T-nut not fully seated or leveler unscrewed. | Ensure the T-nut is hammered in flush. Screw the leveling foot firmly into the T-nut. |
| Cracking in furniture leg during installation. | Leg diameter too small or incorrect drill bit size/depth. | Ensure furniture leg diameter is greater than 1-1/2". Verify drill bit size (1/2") and depth (greater than 1-1/2"). Professional installation is recommended. |
| Felt pads wear out quickly. | Heavy use or rough floor surfaces. | Replace with the spare felt pads provided. Consider using additional floor protection if needed. |
