Abstract
An adjustable furniture leg extension device for use in raising the height of a piece of furniture, such as a chair, table or bed. The device includes a base having a bottom surface for resting on a floor, and an adjustable support member received within the base. The support member includes an upper load-bearing surface on which the furniture leg may rest. A generally rigid stabilizing arm extends laterally from the base and includes a stabilizing foot having a bottom surface which is generally co-planar with the bottom surface of the base. The adjustable support member may include a rim extending upwardly from an edge of the load-bearing surface, the rim serving to help retain the furniture leg on the load-bearing surface. One such leg extension device is placed beneath each leg of the furniture item to be raised, with the respective stabilizing arms turned inwardly beneath the furniture item. The stabilizing arms of the extension devices may be connected to each other by a tether such as a rope or bungee cord.
