Every successful furniture foot installation begins with good
planning and action. Be sure to plan for the proper amount of
parts required for your project and the correct fastening compo-
nents. Make sure that all aspects of the furniture or cabinet you
are supporting are considered and discussed to insure that your
furniture foot installation will be smooth and that your support
products will be sufcient.

Characteristics of the Cartesian Decorative Foot
Our Cartesian Decorative Foot is designed to be mounted to
the bottom of a cabinet, island or a piece of furniture. The
thick stainless steel material is designed to support all types of

Preparations for the Cartesian Decorative Foot
The installation of our Cartesian Decorative Foot will require a
hanger bolt or a dowel and threaded insert. This will be deter-

receiving end is made. If mounting directly into wood with a
pilot hole then a hanger bolt is required. If a threaded insert is in
place on the furniture then it will receive a dowel to install.
Considerations when Installing the Cartesian
Decorative Foot

attached to a threaded rod. The furniture foot can be installed
in either direction, so once you determine which side will be on
the oor, you will need to insert the threaded rod and plate into
the tapped hole in the support. Tighten the threaded rod until
the plate is ush with the support itself. This provides a level
