Start with the finished table height you want. Account for the thickness of the tabletop and any frame, apron, or mounting structure used in the table. If you're replacing existing legs, measure from the floor to the underside of the table base rather than simply measuring the overall tabletop height.

Yes. Highland Manor dining table legs are sold unfinished and sanded so you can apply the finish that fits your project. They can be painted, stained, sealed, or clear finished. Always check the individual product information for specifications and options available with that design.

Choose primarily based on how you plan to finish the table. For painted projects, Soft Maple is often a good choice because it provides a smooth surface for paint. For stained or clear-finished projects, consider the grain, natural color, and appearance you want to coordinate with your tabletop. Many designs are available in Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Red Oak, Cherry, and Pine. Options vary by product.

Not necessarily. Matching wood species can make it easier to create a consistent appearance when staining or clear finishing the entire table. Painted bases, contrasting woods, and intentionally different finishes can also create an attractive finished table. Choose based on the look you want rather than assuming every component has to use the same species.

Start with the style of table you're building. Round and turned legs are often a good fit for traditional, farmhouse, colonial, country, and decorative furniture. Square and tapered legs work well with farmhouse, mission, craftsman, shaker, transitional, and modern tables. The shape, thickness, and style of your tabletop can also help determine which leg looks most balanced.

The right width depends largely on the size and visual weight of your tabletop. Slimmer legs create a lighter, more refined appearance. Wider legs create a more substantial look and often pair well visually with thick, oversized, or farmhouse-style tabletops. Consider the proportions of the finished table rather than selecting leg width by itself.

You may need one if your table uses an apron or frame-style base. Many Highland Manor dining table legs offer an optional 45° notch that provides a connection point for this type of table construction. Check the options on the individual product you're considering or contact Highland Manor if you're unsure.

Yes. Highland Manor dining table legs are sanded and ready for you to apply your own finish. For painted projects, Soft Maple is often a practical choice because of its smooth surface.

Custom options may be available. If you need a different height, width, profile, wood species, or variation of an existing design, contact Highland Manor with the specifications of your project.

Yes. Highland Manor works with furniture makers, contractors, cabinet shops, retailers, manufacturers, and other professional buyers who need wood components for customer projects, repeat work, and larger quantities.

Start with six things: finished table height; leg width and proportions; table style; wood species; planned finish; and how the legs will attach. If you're still unsure, call 716-490-7218 before ordering and tell Highland Manor what you're building.
