ABSTRACT:
A furniture leg lifter in kit form for lifting a furniture leg of a large piece of furniture, one lifter per leg. The kit includes a base having an upwardly-opening recess; containment blocks, each with a central vertical opening, that are stacked atop the base and extend the recess upward; supporting blocks that are received within the recess for supporting the furniture leg; and a plurality of shim blocks of differing sizes. Selected parts from the kit are combined with the base to provide a selected lift distance for the furniture leg. The kit further includes a plurality of shim blocks of varying widths and lengths that are adapted to be closely packed around the furniture leg within the recess to restrain the furniture leg. Eye screws hold the containment blocks to the base. A non-skid bottom surface on the base prevents movement while supporting furniture.
