What is this called and where can I get them.
At a friend's house and she had a footstool assembled with what I
might call headless knobs, or screw-on rivets. They use a piece of the threaded rod that are used for drawer knobs, in the middle, and on each end was like a knob except that almost all of it was missing. Just something like a rivet with a threaded hole in the middle, that goes all the way through. The shaft is maybe 3/8" and the head is maybe 1/2" or a little more and only a couple millimeters high, and the whole thing is 1/2 long. What do you call these things? The current ones are brown, probably brown metallic. Can I buy them at HD or a hardware store, or do I have to look on the web? This footstool matches some of the other furniture, all of which is in v.good condition. |
