ABSTRACT:
A furniture foot connection includes an item of furniture having a lower portion with a given thickness and a hole in the lower portion having a given diameter and a furniture foot including a body and a hollow stem. The stem has a length greater than the thickness of the lower portion of the item of furniture and a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the hole. The stem extends through the hole so that the body of the foot is adjacent the lower portion and a length of the stem extends above the lower portion. The lower portion of the furniture compresses the hollow stem within the hole, and the length of the hollow stem extending above the lower portion is uncompressed to open to a diameter greater than the diameter of the hole. This secures the foot in place on the lower portion. The stem has a plurality of ribs with differing asymmetrical profiles which inhibit rotation of the foot in the hole in either direction.
