I'm building a breakfast bar - well it's basically a bit of worktop with
legs. But what do I use for legs/supports? I've looked in Focus and was
shown some horrible brass or chrome tubes which are sold as wardrobe
rails,
though the salesman assured me they're multipurpose. Not sure they could
take the weight though. I was thinking of something nicer maybe in wood,
I've even looked at curtain poles - but again concerned about the weight
of
the worktop.

What should I use and where should I get them from. I don't mind painting
or varnishing something, but don't want to have to start cutting and
messing
about. I assumed I could buy legs off the shelf in a variety of styles.
I've done a google, looked at various websites but must be using the wrong
search terms.

Any ideas gratefully received

Thanks
Liz




Hi Liz,

We used the chrome tube that is sold in B&Q as wardrobe rail, and put the
circular brackets, that usually hold it to sides of wardrobe, at the top and
bottom, one on the underside of the worktop and one on the floor. The
breakfast bar has been in now for almost two years and still looks great.
