Any suggestions on how to raise the height of chair legs? Thank you!!

We have come up with a few ideas that might work but would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced this dilemma. The chairs were a gift and look really nice with dining table but are 1 1/2 to 2" too low for seating.

Other that replacing the legs, adding /raising seat cushions, or adding casters, anything else would make the chairs unstable.....http://www.ehow.com/how_6310801_make-chairs-taller.html

We are thinking about screwing in wood blocks and then plastic or rubber "socks" over top. Do you think that would be unstable?

Using risers, blocks that go under furniture legs, could present a falling hazard. While risers may be stable enough under a sofa or bed, a chair on risers could tip or fall over. A fall could cause severe injury.

I think the safer route to go is to add higher seat cushions. A high-density foam cushion wrapped in cotton batting offers firmness to aid in rising from the chair and a layer of softness on the surface for comfort. Best of luck!!

Thanks guys. This is so unfortunate because they are beautiful leather chairs and they are like sloped all around and we had already ruled out being able to put chair pads on them. Back to the drawing board :-)

Hi. Is there any way of lowering the actual table legs perhaps?

I would ad casters for height and mobility. So much easier to clean the foor after meals...well maybe not needed sfter every meal ...if conc er rned about unscheduled chair movement with children or anyone, you could get castors with locks for two of each of the chairs.

I think thete are castors made of wood-floor- friendly materials. A wood flooring specialist would be anle to advise depending on the hardness og the flooring wood.

they sell these things that nail or screw into the bottom of the legs that are then adjustable, for leveling furniture. I searched leveling glides on Amazon and came up with a bunch.
