Legs

One of the ideas behind our furniture is that it should stay with your family for years, rather than being replaced as your children grow.

By simply changing the legs, your desk can be adapted to a new height while keeping the tabletop you already know and love. It's a small change that extends the life of your furniture and allows it to continue supporting years of drawing, building, learning and creating.

Each set of legs is handmade to order in the Netherlands using the same carefully selected materials and finishes as our desks, ensuring a seamless match with your existing piece.

To encourage this approach, we offer a 20% discount on a new set of legs when you return your previous set to us. Simply get in touch before placing your order and we'll guide you through the process.

Whether you're matching your existing desk or giving it a fresh new look, our replacement legs are available in the same carefully curated colour collection as our desks.

Choose the same finish for a seamless look, or opt for a contrasting colour to create a playful colour-blocked design that feels entirely new.

If you'd like to refresh the tabletop as well, you can pair your new legs with our Refresh Kit for a complete transformation.

Our desk legs are available in three heights, making it easy to adapt your desk as your family grows or your needs change.

Young child (3 to 5 years old)
Desk height: 52 cm

Growing child (6 to 9 years old)
Desk height: 64 cm

Teen or adult (10+ years old)
Desk height: 75 cm

These recommendations are intended as a guide. Every child is different... If you're unsure which height is best, feel free to get in touch. We're always happy to help.

Our desk legs are crafted from solid FSC-certified pine and are available in two carefully selected finishes.

Satin lacquer
A smooth, durable finish available in our curated collection of colours.

Pigmented linseed oil
A distinctive finish that allows the natural wood grain to remain visible while adding subtle colour and character.

Whether you're matching your existing desk or creating something entirely new, each set of legs is handmade to order in the Netherlands with the same care and craftsmanship as our desks.

Are the legs compatible with every desk?
The legs are designed for Studio Jes Iken desks. If you're unsure whether they'll fit your desk, simply get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

Can I choose a different colour than my current desk?
Absolutely. You can choose the same colour for a seamless look, or opt for a contrasting finish to give your desk an entirely new character.

If you'd like to refresh the tabletop as well, you can pair your new legs with our Refresh Kit for a complete transformation.

How does the Growth Programme work?
When your child is ready for a taller desk, there's no need to replace the entire piece. Simply order a new set of legs and return your previous set to us.

As a thank you, we offer 20% off your new set of legs when you return your previous set. Returned legs that are still in good condition are carefully inspected, refurbished where needed and, whenever possible, given a second life in another family's home.

Simply get in touch before placing your order and we'll guide you through the next steps.

How do I care for the legs?
For everyday cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth and a mild detergent if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to keep the finish looking its best.

What is the lead time?
Every set of legs is handmade to order in the Netherlands. The current lead time is approximately 6 weeks.

Can I return my order?
Because every item is made to order, returns are generally not accepted. If your order arrives damaged or there is a manufacturing issue, please get in touch and we'll always work together to find a suitable solution.
