Guide to choosing table legs for the plank table

When you are looking for the perfect wooden table for your home, it is important to remember that the legs play a very important role. It is not only about the stability of the table and its durability, but also about how it looks.

In this guide, we take a look at the different options for table legs for plank tables. We talk about everything from steel legs that give a raw look, to cozy wooden legs that bring warmth into the room. And of course, we also cover popular designs like the X-frame, the classic square leg, and the stylish plate legs.

Table legs in steel or wood?

Choosing between steel and wood for table legs is about both style and function, but also about the feeling you want your home to exude.

If a modern and industrial feel appeals to you, steel legs are a great choice. They are known for their sturdiness and strength, making them ideal for larger tables. Steel legs can also add a sleek, refined look that compliments a minimalist or contemporary home.

On the other hand, if you are looking to create a more inviting and warm atmosphere, wooden legs are the right choice. Wood brings a sense of naturalness and warmth, which can make a room feel more homely and cozy. With a wide range of wood types to choose from, wooden legs can add a unique character and charm to your wooden table.

Whether you go for a light or dark table, wood offers a versatility that can adapt to any space and decor style.

Designs that count

Now let's dive into the different designs you can consider for your next plank table:

The X-frame

When you choose the X-frame for your plank table, you not only ensure a stylish and modern aesthetic, but also a practical benefit for you, your family and your guests. With its unique design placed 35-50 cm in from the ends of the table (depending on the length of the table), the X-frame provides the ideal freedom to push chairs effortlessly under the table.

This makes it easy for your guests to sit comfortably along the long side of the table and even take a seat at the ends of the table without worrying about bumping into the table legs. An X-frame is not only a visual delight, but also a functional solution that promotes both comfort, stability and the elegance of your plank tables.

Square leg

If you prefer a more subdued and modern look, simple, clean lines are the way to go. Square legs fit nicely into modern homes and can be made in both metal and wood to suit your style.

Wooden plate legs

Slab legs bring a piece of nature into your home, which is perfect for those who want to highlight the natural beauty of wood and create a warm atmosphere.

Corner bone

Corner legs are a timeless design that references the classic choice that has charmed for decades with their elegance and simple beauty. These table legs are ideal for those who want a more classic look in their home.
