What are Furniture Levellers?

Furniture levellers are really useful pieces of equipment that can often be overlooked. If you have a wobbly or uneven piece of furniture, levellers are the ideal solution -- providing stability and balance for chairs, tables and other types of furniture. A table that keeps wobbling, or a chair that isn’t quite level, can cause you both frustration and annoyance. Levellers are a much safer and stronger solution than temporarily wedging an old book underneath your furniture to keep things even.  Here at Insignia Manufacturing, we explore what furniture levellers are, and the range of benefits they provide.

What are Furniture Levellers?

Furniture levellers are adjustable components attached to the bases of legs of furniture. They are often referred to as furniture feet or glides. Furniture levellers are designed to compensate for uneven surfaces, providing stability by allowing adjustments to be made to the furniture height.

Levellers may also be called leg levellers, and can even be used to raise furniture. This may be useful for those with accessibility needs who require furniture to be higher from the ground. In addition to providing protection, levellers make it easier to clean underneath your furniture.

What are Furniture Levellers Made From?

Levellers come in different materials, usually made from wood, metal or plastic. They are produced in a variety of shapes and sizes with suitability varying dependent on your specific needs and preferences.

What are Furniture Levellers Used For?

Furniture levellers serve a range of important purposes:

• Stability -- the main function of furniture levellers is to stabilise furniture if it is on an uneven surface. Levellers help to keep everything even, ensuring furniture is sturdy and stable. They can be particularly important in older homes, where uneven floors are more commonplace.
• Protection -- another benefit of levellers is that they protect both the furniture and the floor. This helps to prevent damage to tiled or hardwood floors from scuffs and scratches.
• Alignment -- in addition to stability, furniture levellers can help to create a visually appealing arrangement, ensuring that pieces of furniture complement one another.

What are the Benefits of Furniture Levellers?

There are a number of benefits to having furniture levellers:

• Versatility -- levellers can be used on various different types of furniture, showcasing their versatility, from chairs to tables to beds. Furniture levellers can be utilised in various settings beyond just homes; hotels, offices and restaurants can also benefit from the use of furniture levellers.

• Cost effective -- instead of replacing or repairing furniture that has become uneven, a furniture leveller can be a cost-effective solution. Furniture is often subjected to severe wear and tear, which could damage the legs and stability. By using furniture levellers, you can prolong the lifespan of your furniture, enhancing its durability. Furniture levellers are relatively inexpensive and are much cheaper than replacing your furniture entirely.

• Easy to install --generally furniture levelers can be installed quickly and easily, making them accessible, as no specialist tools or knowledge is required to fit them.

Furniture levellers may seem insignificant, but they can have a crucial role in maintaining the stability, balance, and longevity of furniture. Whether it’s stopping your dining table from wobbling when you’re eating, or protecting your hardwood floor from getting scratched from moving your armchair, furniture levellers are a practical solution.
