Replacing Your IKEA Sofa Legs
We've all experienced it: your dependable IKEA couch has seen better days. Perhaps you want to give your lounge a new look, or perhaps one of the legs is a little wobbly or scratched. The good news? One of the simplest do-it-yourself improvements is replacing the legs on your couch because it makes a big difference.

Here’s a quick guide to help you out:
Step 1: Take Off the Old Legs
Carefully turn your couch onto its back or side. All you have to do is twist off the screws that hold up the majority of IKEA sofas. Give them a light wiggle to get them to relax if they're a little tight.
Step 2: Examine the Base
Examine the mounting plates underneath. You can use them again if they're sturdy. If not, worry not as Urban Hardware has easy-to-use replacement plates.
Step 3: Select Your New Legs
The enjoyable part is this. Do you want to make it easier to clean underneath the sofa by raising it a bit? Want a sleeker, more contemporary style with legs made of black steel? Or perhaps some wood for a little warmth? We carry a large selection of sofa legs that precisely fit IKEA furniture, allowing you to get the strength and style you desire without going over budget.
Step 4: Attach them with screws
Align the new legs, tighten them with a twist or screw, and make sure they are stable. You're done!
Your IKEA sofa will feel stronger and look brand new with new legs. We at Urban Hardware provide high-quality furniture legs all over Australia so you can update your house without any hassles.
