Clip on Saddle Feet
Protect your floors and furniture with our versatile clip-on saddle feet. These clever accessories are specifically designed for tubular furniture - chairs, tables and desks with round metal or plastic legs that run parallel to the ground. They simply clip into position to create an instant protective barrier between your furniture and flooring.
Perfect for modern cantilever chairs, folding tables and tubular desks, these saddle feet solve common problems like floor scratching, furniture slipping and unsightly exposed metal legs. Made from tough LDPE plastic or high-strength Nylon 66, they're built to withstand daily use whilst being lightweight and easy to install.
How They Work
Unlike traditional furniture feet that go over the end of legs, saddle feet clip onto the side of tubular legs where they touch the floor. This unique design means they work perfectly with furniture that has continuous tube construction - like those sleek modern chairs and desks where the legs curve or bend rather than having distinct end points.
Five Different Style Saddle
- Flat Base Pin - ideal for furniture that needs maximum stability on hard floors
- Round - perfect for general-purpose floor protection and grip
- Round Pin - includes a locating pin to prevent sliding and ensure secure positioning
- Ball Pin - designed for enhanced grip and stability on various floor surfaces
- Standard Clip-On - simple, effective protection without additional features
Installation Options
- With fixing peg - includes a small peg that fits into pre-drilled holes in your furniture for extra security
- Without fixing peg - relies on the clip-on design alone, perfect for furniture without pre-drilled holes

Frequently Asked Questions
Saddle Feet are clip-on furniture feet designed to fit around round tubular legs and frames. Unlike conventional tube inserts, they attach to the side of the tube where it contacts the floor.
Cantilever chairs often have curved tubular frames without conventional open-ended legs at the floor. Saddle Feet clip around the horizontal section of tubing to provide a dedicated contact point between the chair and floor.
Measure the outside diameter of the round tube where the foot will be fitted. You should also check whether your furniture has a locating hole if you are considering a Saddle Foot with a fixing peg.
No. They are designed for clip-on installation without screws or adhesive. Some styles include a locating peg for additional retention.
