Q: Where to get leveling feet for GALANT A-leg?

I am desperately trying to find plastic leveling feet for my IKEA GALANT table leg …

Any idea where I can find one? As you know, it is all plastic, with a fixed ball joint which lets the whole foot to swivel in the leg.

plastic leveling foot for my IKEA GALANT table leg

GALANT A-leg | IKEA.com

Your post on repairing the GALANT A-leg was great, only mine was actually broken on the end of the screw at top of leg.

The table had been in a huge basement flood, so we resorted to drilling holes into the legs and bolting them.

It worked great but now I need the leveling foot for just one of the legs. Really appreciate your help.

Hi Claudine

The first place to try is always, of course, IKEA.

However, the GALANT is discontinued (replaced by the BEKANT system), so they may no longer stock parts for it. But then, you’ll never know. Check with Customer Service. They may still have a spare leveling feet somewhere in the vast cavern of a warehouse.

If they are out of it, then …

Buy a new leg

I checked on ebay and Amazon. You can still get a GALANT leg or two. Since yours is already broken at the top, it may be better to replace the entire leg rather than try to fix the foot.

Or buy new leveling feet

Other brands of leveling feet may work. Take a look at the ones sold on Amazon or your local hardware store. You do need to carefully shop for the right ones to fit. Remove the old one from the GALANT leg and take it with you to the store for a suitable replacement.

Hope that helps to salvage your old GALANT table.

Happy hacking,

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
