Pingo Leg Models – Plastic and Metal Furniture Pingos
A pingo leg is a functional and aesthetic furniture accessory installed at the bottom corners of furniture. The pingo leg models we offer at Payanda Metal are suitable for various types of furniture such as tables, cabinets, sofas, bathroom furniture, and kitchen units. With options available in M8 and M10 screw sizes, we provide compatible solutions for all types of furniture.
Plastic furniture pingos are preferred for small-scale furniture due to their light weight, economical price, and easy assembly, while metal pingos are reliably used in heavier structures and applications requiring high load capacity. All our pingo types meet the needs of the furniture industry with their robust structure, durable material quality, and affordable prices.
Pingo legs, which find a wide range of uses from upholstered chairs to kitchen cabinets, coffee tables to office furniture, also allow for level adjustment on uneven surfaces. Our adjustable pingo models enable you to position your furniture evenly and stably on any surface.
Frequently Asked Questions – Pingos
What is a pingo leg and what is it used for?
A pingo leg is a small furniture accessory that attaches to the bottom corners of furniture with a screw connection, providing a certain height from the floor. It is used in many types of furniture, such as tables, cabinets, sofa bases, bathroom furniture, and kitchen units, for floor protection, height adjustment, and stability.
Pingos, produced in two main material groups, plastic and metal, not only offer an aesthetic appearance but also help protect furniture from moisture, dirt, and the abrasive effects of hard surfaces.
What materials are pingos made from?
Furniture pingos are mainly produced from two material groups:
- Plastic pingos: Made from high-density polypropylene or nylon-based plastic. Lightweight, economical, and easy to assemble.
- Metal pingos: Made from steel or aluminum alloys. Ideal for heavier furniture, stainless steel options are also available.
At Payanda Metal, we offer high-quality pingo leg models in both material groups.
What is the difference between M8 and M10 pingo legs?
The M8 and M10 designations indicate the internal thread clearance (screw diameter) of the pingo. An M8 pingo is compatible with 8 mm diameter screws and is preferred for light and medium-weight furniture. An M10 pingo supports 10 mm diameter screws and is suitable for heavier structures.
Choosing the correct screw size according to your furniture's design and load capacity is critical for secure pingo attachment and furniture stability.
How is a pingo leg installed?
Pingo leg installation is quite simple. It is sufficient to insert the screw into a pre-drilled hole on the bottom surface of the furniture and tighten the pingo leg. For adjustable models, the height of the furniture can be finely adjusted by rotating the bottom cap.
- Drill a hole of the appropriate screw diameter for the furniture (M8 or M10).
- Insert the threaded top part of the pingo into the hole and tighten it.
- For adjustable models, rotate the bottom surface to adjust ground contact.
- On uneven surfaces, adjust each of the four corners separately to ensure balance.
What size pingo leg fits my furniture?
The choice of pingo size is determined by the weight of the furniture, its design, and the desired height from the floor. For small coffee tables or light cabinets, a small diameter M8 pingo (Ø 25–35 mm) is sufficient, while for heavy furniture such as cabinets or sofa bases, a large diameter M10 pingo (Ø 50–74 mm) should be preferred.
If you are unsure which product will fit your furniture, you can refer to the measurement charts on the product page or contact us.
Are pingo legs adjustable?
Yes, many pingo models are adjustable. The height of the furniture from the floor can be adjusted between a few millimeters and a few centimeters by rotating the bottom cap of the pingos clockwise or counter-clockwise. This feature ensures the furniture remains stable on uneven or irregular surfaces.
Our Payanda Metal collection includes both fixed and adjustable pingo leg types.
Are pingo legs suitable for wooden furniture?
Yes, pingos can be easily applied to panel materials such as MDF, particleboard, and plywood, especially wood. In wooden furniture, plastic pingo models stand out with their protective soft base features against scratching, while metal pingos are preferred for their strong grip.
For wooden surfaces, installation should be done by drilling a hole appropriate for the screw diameter, and care should be taken as overtightening can cause the wood to crack.
What is the difference between stainless steel pingo and plastic pingo?
Stainless steel pingo stands out for its high load-bearing capacity, longevity, and resistance to moisture and acid. It is especially preferred in humid environments such as kitchen and bathroom furniture.
Plastic pingo, on the other hand, is a lighter, more economical, and noiseless alternative. It does not scratch floor surfaces; however, its load capacity is lower compared to metal options. The most suitable material should be chosen based on the application area and furniture weight.
