Can this be cut down and sanded smooth? I need this length, but I'm making an L and for this leg I need narrow it. The length is just fine.

I had to cut mine to fit 3 separate places & had no problems at all. Good luck!

Sure can. Make sure to use a high-quality ultra-fine finish blade when you rip it to width, and go slowly. You don't want to splinter the edges.

I made a table for my daughter with it didn't have to sand much just covered it with polyurethane easy to do

Yes absolutelyI cut mine down in three pieces. Then used the 6" cut as a backsplash. Sands very well but take your time. It's hard wood. Oiled with mineral oil. Stil looks good after one year but would be great with a urethane finish too.

It is. I don't see why you can't cut it shorter just try not to mess up the threads so you can still use it.

Yes. That is the 1st thing I did. Used it without having to remove object, thus didn't have to find a way to secure it to sand off approx 1/8". Just remember to take your time & not to try to sand too much too fast. Juri

because its metal item, try using a metal/aluminum/steel cutter. Best guess. Did not have to adjust my length.

Sure it could be cut with a utility knife, but the stitching will un-ravel. I suppose you could duct tape the rough ends and hope for the best. It will be unsightly.Why not just go to the orange construction store and buy black foam pipe insulation for 1" copper pipe? You can cut it to any length and it will not have the issue with the seams.

I think you could cut it down. It seems to be one thick piece of material. I am not sure if this sort of material can fray in any way though. If it can, its nothing some extra stitching wouldn't take care of.

Oh yes, you can cut it with a good pair of scissors. It would make it too narrow to sleep on. Hope this helps.

Measure twice cut once. Since the ends fit INTO the extruded legs you would detach them from the wood, make your cut, and re-attach. You may need a hacksaw to cut the aluminum "L" angle bottom support. Also, one or two of your bottom slats may need to be modified in width. We have two of these are are super happy with them. I did however feel it was needed to drill my own holes and screw some of the center bottom slats in to prevent bowing or bellying

Stop, Do Not Cut. Are you 100% absolutely sure it is bent? The sections are pretty difficult to insert. If it is indeed damaged return to Amazon. They will take care of you.

You can do some woodworking? Then don't worry. It was not that difficult. If you have a chop saw you can do any trimming that is necessary. Width does not need trimming - it just retracts into the cartridge and there is some extra. Just pay attention to their width and height maximums. The biggest issue was not messing up the calk after it was installed.

Yes I cut mine down a little as well, to make it fit. Be careful to get the length correct. If you cut it too short you are shall we say "screwed". Better to err on the long side as you can always cut off more. There is a small fudge factor involved. I used masking tape at the cut line to make sure I didn't scratch the finish, I got the brown-colored pole. Am happy with the purchase.

It's a "cut to fit" .... Draw with pen or such around foot and cut then trim as needed.

Hello Tiffany, The Velvet Felt on the tray an very nice and feels like a good quality, but the stiffness of the tray felt like a Hard Board - the type you find in hardware stores that has many holes to fit metal pegs into them to hang tools (except the board is smooth). I've cut these boards before and using a hand saw is almost out of the question, as it will be messy and crooked. If you have a cross-cut saw such as a radial arm or a chop-type mitre saw, it should work out fine. However, you'll also need to undo the velvet to separate the board for cutting, then re-wrap your board. I wish I could look at mines to tell you more if the velvet could be undone, but I just threw my tray away. Sorry about that.

Width of 6 inches can be cut, but no wider. And I wouldn't go thicker than 2 inches, too much effort. Time for power tools.

I would rather use saws to rough it out first. Then use rough wood files for further shaping. Then finish it in with a sander with 36 grit sand paper and continue with finer grits. The microplane is not one of my favorite tools. Also check out youtube for tips on your project.

I don't know if it can be cut to size or not. It arrived broken in half! I would not order it online, it seemed too flimsy for all the handling.

Yes...I had a similar issue and I was able to cut to fit...only issue I would tell you is have very sharp scissors !!!!! tough to cut
