Classification of sofa legs
Sofa legs refer to the connectors that connect the sofa to the base, separating the support points of the sofa from the ground. At present, the sofa legs on the market are divided into logs, metals, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, zinc alloys, plastics and other legs according to the material. Among them, stainless steel and zinc alloy are more common in modern home decoration materials.
We usually divide sofa legs into three categories: solid wood legs, iron sofa legs, and stainless steel legs.
Different materials have different characteristics and properties, and everyone can choose according to their needs. In addition, a sofa leg can be composed of different materials, which is also beautiful and practical.

Characteristics of sofa legs of different materials:
- Solid wood sofa legs: basically presented in the form of geometric bodies, and then painted on the surface. This is a more traditional sofa leg material. Generally, retro style or natural style is more suitable.
Good wooden sofa legs are durable, but the price is relatively high. The disadvantage is that it is easy to wear and tear, may grow mold after long-term use, and it is more troublesome to clean and maintain.
- Stainless steel sofa legs: very textured, practical, giving people a noble and atmospheric feeling. Generally, high-end sofas will use it, so the cost is also higher, but there is no need to worry about moisture and mold.
Briefly explain the difference between 201 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel that everyone often asks:
201 is relatively industrial, and 304 is relatively edible, such as the inner tank of the electric kettle at home, stainless steel bowls and plates, which are all 304 stainless steel.
Corrosion resistance and acid resistance: 201 steel is not as good as 304 steel.
Color: The surface of 201 steel is very bright, while 304 steel contains chromium and has a dull surface.
Compression resistance: 201 steel is harder and more brittle than 304 steel.
Specifications: 304 steel is of good quality, but the price is high.
At the same time, the thickness of the stainless steel sofa legs is also very important, 3cm<5cm<8cm… The value of solid feet is far greater than that of hollow feet.
- Zinc alloy sofa legs: high density, smooth and delicate surface, but the disadvantage is that the bearing capacity is smaller than that of aluminum alloy, and zinc is not resistant to oxidation but will rust. However, it is more beautiful and is loved by modern young people.
- Plastic sofa legs: light, wear-resistant and non-slip, mostly used in low-priced furniture, which is conducive to protecting tile floors. However, plastic has low hardness, and bearing capacity is a key factor in considering its quality. Of course, general metal sofa legs will also have plastic pads.

ZhuoKai shares his experience in the furniture industry with everyone:
If you want a strong sense of design, buy low feet, but pay attention to moisture-proof and difficult to take care of sofas;
If you want a high-end feel, buy high feet to increase the ventilation and cleaning of the sofa, and pay attention to the children and pets at home.
Of course, there are also adjustable feet in the hardware wholesale market. As for their quality, durability, and practicality, everyone has different opinions.
