My chair legs are 1" diameter, but only 1/2" clearance before leg scrolls. Can it be cut down? Would it stay on?

Depending on wide it gets, you probably wouldn't need to cut it. If you use a blow dryer on each one for about 20 seconds, they become very flexible to fit a tapered leg, then they cool down for a really tight fit. If you do need to cut it it should be easy to cut too.

I would not advise cutting them down. They are available in larger sizes. The ones I have work perfectly, and they self-adjust to the angle of the stool legs as long as the opening is large enough. We had tried every other product out there, and hated them all - but these are awesome - I love them!

Lala, my chair legs are 1' diameter and they were still to small to put on. My hudband had to use a hair dryer to heat them up and then still struggled to get them on. I would not cut them down because the height is the way they stay on. I would try getting the next size up, or do what my hudband did and heat them to stretch them. They are still very much worth it. We tried the sticky round things you can get at the store and they wouldn't stay on at all. This product stays in place perfectly (once you get them on). Good luck!!

It's kind of hard to measure because of the beveled edge but my best unscientific effort (putting a chair on it with one leg one one leg off and measuring the off leg :)) puts it closer to 3/4". I have two. ONe at my office for my stand up desk and one at home in the kitchen. Love them!

As long as the leg of the furniture is NOT over a 4" square it will be fine. I unfortunately had a chair that had a weird shape that wouldn't fit inside. Love the product, I had other uses (sofa & love seat) that it worked great on.

Karen, you have to nail the smaller piece with the hole in it, to the bottom of a leg and then the glide part snaps on over the smaller piece. They work nicely for chair glides.

It steps down to about a 1/2 inch. You could cut it higher up to fit a larger diameter.

The cross piece at the top is 3 PCs. The center slides inside both sides to make us adjustable on the width! You do have about 1 inch you could cut off each side! I would contact tms and ask them I'm not sure if you have enough width!

I doubt it. The attachment hardware and leg come together in a fixed dimension. Cutting anything off the top of the leg would negate the connection design. The design is a good and stable one. If the bottom of the leg screw adjustments are not adequate I think you need a different leg...of course there are always folks who see the the impossible as a challenge.

No. The rubber tips I bought were for 3/4" legs. It's all one-piece molded rubber . I would suggest that if you want to have an internal metal wearing disk, add steel washers in the holes. Go to your local hardware store and get washers that are +/- 1/2" in outside diameter to fit. Remove all burrs on the chair legs before use. Hope this will help.

The rubber tips slip over the steel legs. These 3/4" tips slip over 3/4" legs. So, they will not fit 1" steel legs.

The legs lock-in the same way the shelves do by using a plastic wedge. Yes you can cut the legs down with no problem. Simply cut the leg at a locking ring that are in one inch increments. We have done this many times to create equipment tables. Update: The legs are mad of chrome plated mild steel. There are several ways to cut the legs down. One way is to use a large plumbers pipe cutter. This method works very well. A metal cutting blade on a saws-all works very well also. We are a commercial kitchen install company so we use a portable cordless ban-saw. A metal cutting wheel on a five inch hand held grinder works very well also. So as you can see, there are a lot of methods for cutting these legs to size.

1 inch is way too small. Measure your chair or couch for what size the legs are then order the right size. I had to learn the hard way. They work great if you get the size you need. Good luck.

I used the legs on a circular table with a diameter smaller than your planned 2.5 feet. No concerns or worries here. I'd highly recommend these great legs! Best of luck on your project!

I just went out and measured, and the bottom 2x4's are about 4" from the bottom of the legs. It looks as if you could cut 3" off and still have support for the 2x4. However, you will need to be careful when you cut the legs; if you don't cut the same amount off each leg you will need put shims under the shortest leg(s) to keep the table from rocking.

3 inches - if you are thinking of cutting the legs off I think it might work - you would also have to cut off the side support which runs from the top of the cabinet to the floor - the legs are attached to it as well as to the bottom of the cabinet. Hope this helps.

Not really, There is a metal frame that the legs attach to. There is a 2 inch overhang on either end - but I don't know how the cut ends would look with the distressed look of the finished wood.

if you cut them off it should be possible, but the legs are fixed on the entire thing

I don't think this will stretch that much, they are a tight fit on my 1.25" chair legs.
