Rockler Hairpin Leg Furniture Shelf Brackets 

Rockler Woodworking and Hardware has introduced exclusive new hardware that makes it easy to add a custom shelf to furniture created with 3/8"-diameter hairpin table legs.

The patent-pending I-Semble Hairpin Leg Shelf Brackets can be positioned at any point along the 3/8"-diameter rods of standard two-rod hairpin legs, allowing installation of a shelf just under the top, closer to the floor or anywhere in between. Once installed, they're hidden almost entirely under the shelf, so they won't detract from the appearance of the piece.

“Hairpin legs have been really popular because they make it easy to create a stylish modern table with any top,” said Steve Krohmer, Rockler’s vice president of product development. "Until now, though, there hasn’t been a simple way to attach a shelf. These innovative brackets are a great way to add storage and visual interest.”

Made from durable black nylon, the Hairpin Leg Shelf Brackets are sold in packs of eight – enough for one set of legs – and together can hold up to 25 lbs. (including the shelf). They fit Rockler’s I-Semble Hairpin Table Legs, as well as other brands of hairpin legs that use 3/8"-diameter rods.

Rockler also has introduced matching black rubber feet for Hairpin Table Legs. They press fit onto 3/8"- and 1/2"-diameter legs to protect floors from marring and prevent sliding on slippery surfaces.

As part of the product introduction, Rockler is offering a free downloadable plan for a hairpin leg coffee table with a shelf. The plan and other product information are available at Rockler.com/build.

I-Semble Hairpin Leg Shelf Brackets (53667) are priced at $14.99 for a pack of eight, and I-Semble Hairpin Leg Feet (57820) are priced at $7.99 for a pack of four. Both canbe purchased exclusively at Rockler.com or at Rockler Woodworking and Hardware stores nationwide, as well as through the Rockler catalog.
