A few years ago, I redecorated my kids’ playroom. In order to make it more family friendly, I added an Ikea Karlstad sofa to the room. But, I thought the legs on the sofa were awful, so I replaced them with some tapered legs I found at Lowe’s. I swear that I wrote a post about it, but I can’t seen to find it now.
That’s not the most detailed picture of the legs, but I can’t take another one to share. Why? Well, the legs flat out fell off of the sofa. The combination between the thin wood and the leg plates on the bottom of the sofa was a bad combination. They just sort of caved in and snapped off after about 6 months.
Tom tried to fix the legs several times, but they continued to bend at the metal plate. So, we gave up and had a leg-less couch sitting on the playroom floor. It was super stylish, y’all. We called it the Low Rider couch.
The point finally came that I had enough. We used some scrap wood from the garage and some spray paint, and helped get the sofa off the ground (again).
These legs are going nowhere, y’all! And they make the sofa look a little more polished.
