Product Overview

Black small rubber feet can provide a compact support at the bottom of a chair component. Their size should be chosen around the leg and the load path, leaving enough contact area to stand properly without protruding into a position where the foot catches during movement. A discreet appearance is useful only when the installed fit remains stable.

Check the attachment geometry and the height contributed by each foot. Different compression among the supports can make a chair rock even when the frame itself is level. If the foot also acts as a bumper, identify the surface that makes contact and verify that the furniture does not strike an exposed hard edge first.

Test the assembled chair on the intended floor and under its intended use conditions. Floor finish, dirt, and sliding direction can change the contact behavior. Clean the underside regularly and check that the foot remains fully attached. Replace missing or heavily worn feet as a set where necessary to preserve a consistent stance across the chair.

Material options: Custom rubber compound and color, selected for the contact conditions and required geometry.
Hardness range: 30–90 Shore A for rubber. Assess the grade against this fit requirement: Their size should be chosen around the leg and the load path, leaving enough contact area to stand properly without protruding into a position where the foot catches during movement.
Custom profile & fit: Check the attachment geometry and the height contributed by each foot.
Assembly considerations: A discreet appearance is useful only when the installed fit remains stable.
Design check: If the foot also acts as a bumper, identify the surface that makes contact and verify that the furniture does not strike an exposed hard edge first.

Ordering this custom component

Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?

Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.

Which details should be agreed before tooling?

Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.

Can a sample help define the replacement?

A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.

How is the quotation for this part determined?

The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
