Review on Anwenk Leg Mounting Plates: Industrial Strength T-Plate for Furniture Leg Attachment - Repair Weak Sofa Couch Seat - Set of 4 by Shah Jones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Broken screws are best for furniture hardware

I used this kit to fit replacement legs to my love seat after the originals were lost during a long move. I used adapter plates and screws; I haven't used the other parts, so I can't comment on that. The plates are good - solid and well made. There are no screws. My issue with the bolts was that when tightened, one of the bolt heads immediately sheared off when hand tightening! I've never seen this before and have done MANY DIY projects in my 6+ decades of my life. I'm not the strongest person either so the torque I used wasn't great. As the screw body is already inserted into the wood frame of the 2 seater sofa there is no easy way to unscrew it so a panel is now attached with just 3 screws. The other screws also started to give way when I tightened them, so I didn't tighten them as much as I would have liked. But for the most part the plates have done their job - now I'm back in my two-seater. !

Pros
  • Easy to install in minutes - no need to buy hanging bolts separately. You have EVERYTHING ready to install furniture legs!. The kit includes all the necessary parts - 4 sets of plates for attaching the sofa legs; 4 suspension bolts M8; 4 things. Converter with internal thread M8; 16 screw adapters for 5 mm holes without thread.
Cons
  • Long Lead Time
