Handy Hints
Some common problems with chair feet, chair tips and table feet often have simple solutions:
- My new tips are wearing down quickly!
Before fitting the new chair tip or table foot, file the chair leg to remove any sharp edges - this will make the new chair tip last longer and stop it from splitting. - When is the best time to replace my chair feet?
Replace tips earlier rather than later - we recommend chair feet and table feet to be replaced when the original item is half worn. - Which is the best type of replacement chair foot?
The external heavy duty chair tip is the preferred design for easy application and durability - it also covers unsightly marks at the bottom of the chair or table foot. - Help! My new chair feet fall off, or won't even go on!
If the replacement chair feet you have ordered are too loose or too tight, please contact Michael immediately on 0411 223 066 - he will be able to replace them with the correct ones. - Which style and size do I need to order?
If your chair or table feet need replacing but you are not sure of the correct style or size, you can mail Chair Tips Australia a sample of your old chair or table foot or tip, and Michael will match it to the correct new item. - Is there an easier way than snail mail?
Yes! Alternately, you can take a digital photo of the chair or table foot, or even the furniture item, and fill out the handy enquiry form which allows you to upload the image and have it inspected and matched almost instantly!
