Abstract
A Furniture Leg Extension and Leveling Device and Method for Use is disclosed. The device enables the user to adjust the height of a piece of furniture, such as a bathroom vanity cabinet. The device and method involves adding an extension member to each of the legs of the cabinet. The device attaches with a single custom bolt that threads into a threaded insert that is screwed into a bore cut into the bottom of the legs. The device further includes a leveling foot for accomplishing fine adjustment to leg height to account for minute floor surface irregularities. The custom bolt used for attaching the extension member has a threaded post at one end and a threaded bore formed at its other end.
