MYTH VS REALITY

As with everything, there are barriers. Today, we are breaking down the preconceptions about La Fabrique des Pieds and your future projects containing feet !

A TABLE NEEDS A STRUCTURE

FALSE – Not all feet are suitable for all projects, to be sure. But for each of your projects, the feet alone are enough . It is not necessary to have a complete structure.

The most important are the raw materials chosen for your realization. For example, the denser the wood-like materials, the less risk there is that the furniture will collapse and be damaged, unlike soft wood. Reinforcements in cleats or steel can be added under the creation to reinforce the overall support.

If you have any doubts about your project: combination of table top + furniture, our team will be happy to advise you.

IT'S COMPLICATED TO BUILD A TABLE YOURSELF

FALSE – making a table (low, dining or high) requires 1 to 4 legs depending on the project, a top and a few screws. Nothing complicated! What's harder to find is just the idea. Find ici inspirations for your dining tables and also here.

Making a table yourself is very interesting in terms of quality / price compared to some tables sold on the market . You build the table of your dreams with the material, the top and the color of your choice: a tailor-made table that will complete your interior.

Thnaks to our DIY , discover some examples of tables and trays to make yourself. Having one foot in it already makes you want to get started !

OUR FEET ARE COMPLICATED TO SCREW

FALSE – All of our feet are pre-drilled and just need the screws to be attached to its tray. The number of holes varies depending on the design and model of the stand. On each product sheet is written the necessary quantity.

OUR FEET ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR MARBLE OR GRANITE TOP

FALSE – For this type of tray, the recommended fixing is heavy duty glue . This system is permanent and the feet cannot be removed to change models. To remedy this problem, you can insert between the top and the foot, a small wooden board or a cleat. So it is the wooden part that will stick under the top and you will fix the feet only in the wood part. This trick allows you to interchange the feet or remove them as needed, for a move for example.

WE CAN ONLY BUY OUR FEET DIRECTLY

FALSE – All of our stands can be delivered throughout France and all of Europe. Delivery costs are added to the price per foot as well as a few days the time of delivery by our carriers.

Our feet are only marketed via our site www.lafabriquedespieds.com

THIN FLAT IRON SUITABLE FOR ALL PROJECTS

FALSE – Stone, marble and granite type tops require a different fixing than wooden tops, of course, but our feet are just as suitable. Again, not all legs are suitable for all projects but you will always find a nice combination.

The thin flat iron, for example, is not suitable for a dining table. For an island, this will depend on its dimensions. If you have any doubts, go to this little game to find out which model is best suited to your project.

Our team is at your disposal to advise you as well.

OUR RAW FINISH MATCHES A GRAY

FALSE – the raw finish matches the color of the steel itself. After manufacture, the foot is cleaned and varnished to protect it from rust. On this finish, traces of welding and grinding are visible , so the angles are clearer. So the color is not uniform. It is similar to a loft atmosphere in a very industrial style.

SOME OF OUR FEET ARE ADJUSTABLE

FALSE – no, our feet are not adjustable and we do not manufacture adjustable feet. On the other hand, we manufacturemade-to-measure feet to the nearest millimeter.

OUR FEET ARE ONLY FIT FOR INSIDE

FALSE – Our feet are powder coated, they are therefore protected to be resistant to all weather conditions . They can therefore go outdoors
