Need advice on work table legs

[drmeow]

For reasons not worth explaining, I have the tops but not the legs of these two desks:

I would like to turn them into worktables - the corner desk standing or counter height (36" - 40&quot and the rectangular one sitting height (28" - 30&quot .

The corner desk in particular is pretty heavy so I need pretty sturdy legs for it (and probably at least 5, maybe 6). The legs don't have to be pretty (they will be in a craft/work room in the basement). Can anyone recommend what type of legs I should get and where? Lowes/Home Depot don't seem to have any of the taller ones and the 28" ones they had seemed flimsy? I'm not sure if wood legs would be strong enough or if I need to go with metal legs.

1. Use cement blocks or patio blocks. Those would be strong enough. I use them

to make storage shelves with boards.

4X4's would also work with varnish on them they would be sturdy and look pretty good at the same time.

2. That's a really interesting suggestion

That never would have occurred to me! Thanks. I'm going to look into that.

4. If you do the 4x4 legs make sure you don't buy ones that are pressure treated. Those

are only for exterior use.

7. Thanks for the really helpful suggestion

It not only provided me with the legs I needed



but those legs have storage for some of my medium size glass pieces!

3. Any Restore Stores near by.

They are part of Habitat got Humanity. Lots of tables and parts. Other materials that might work.

5. ReStore is a good suggestion.

6. Another great suggestion

I think there is one - I'll check. Thanks.
