Question 1

How do I know if a VidaXL table part will fit my existing table?

Accepted Answer

Check the product's listed dimensions against your table's measurements before purchasing — there is no universal standard. Measure the existing leg height, the fixing hole spacing on the frame, and the foot diameter. VidaXL uses consistent dimensions within product lines but not across the entire catalogue. If you're replacing a single component rather than a full set, also verify the taper angle and any pre-drilled hole positions. When in doubt, contact the retailer directly before ordering, as returns on furniture parts can be cumbersome.

Question 2

Are the fasteners and levelling feet included with table legs?

Accepted Answer

Not always — this varies significantly between listings and is one of the most common sources of frustration in this category. Some VidaXL parts ship as complete kits with bolts, nuts, washers and adjustable levelling feet; others include only the structural component. Read the product description carefully, and if the listing is ambiguous, compare across the available offers on MagicPrices — different retailers sometimes provide more detailed specifications for the same product. Budget for additional hardware if it's not confirmed as included.

Question 3

What load-bearing capacity do I need for a dining table?

Accepted Answer

For a standard dining table, aim for components rated at a minimum of 50 kg per leg, with 100 kg or more preferable for larger tables or heavier use. A six-person dining table with food, crockery and seated adults can place 80–120 kg of distributed load on the frame. Parts rated below 50 kg per component are suitable only for lightweight side tables or occasional-use furniture. Always check the rated capacity in the product specification — it's a safety figure, not a marketing one.

Question 4

Should I avoid unfinished table parts for kitchen or outdoor use?

Accepted Answer

Yes — unfinished wood or uncoated steel parts are a poor choice for kitchens, conservatories or any outdoor-adjacent environment. Without a protective finish, wood will absorb moisture and warp, while uncoated steel will rust within months in humid conditions. For these environments, look specifically for powder-coated or galvanised steel, stainless steel, or sealed and lacquered wood components. The finish specification should be clearly stated in the product listing; if it isn't, treat that as a warning sign.

Question 5

Can I mix table parts from different VidaXL product lines?

Accepted Answer

Technically possible, but not recommended without careful cross-referencing. VidaXL's table parts are designed to work within specific product families, and mixing lines can result in mismatched hole spacing, incompatible fixing methods, or a visible difference in finish tone — even between two products both described as 'black'. If you're sourcing replacement parts for an existing VidaXL table, use the original product's model number to find compatible components within the same range.

Question 6

What's the difference between powder coating and galvanisation on steel table parts?

Accepted Answer

Powder coating applies a dry paint layer electrostatically and cures it with heat, producing a smooth, durable finish that resists scratches and mild moisture. Galvanisation bonds a layer of zinc to the steel through a chemical or electrochemical process, providing deeper corrosion resistance — particularly useful where the surface might be chipped or scratched over time. For indoor use, powder coating is generally sufficient and offers more colour options. For outdoor or high-humidity environments, galvanised steel offers better long-term protection, especially at edges and fixing points where coatings can wear.

Question 7

Is it worth buying table parts in 2026, or should I just replace the whole table?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the cost ratio. If the replacement part costs less than roughly a third of the table's current value, repair is almost always the better choice — both economically and environmentally. With parts available from 17 £, even a quality leg or frame section represents a fraction of a new table's cost. Where repair becomes questionable is when the table itself is structurally compromised in multiple places, or when the original part is discontinued and no compatible replacement exists. For VidaXL tables, parts availability is generally good given the brand's catalogue depth.
