Abstract: A device for protecting the leg or corner of a piece of furniture from damage is disclosed. The device includes an elongate shield member that encompasses at least the lower front portion of the leg or corner of a piece of furniture. A foot member, for positioning under the leg or corner of the furniture, is attached to the lower end of the elongate shield member forming a generally right angle therewith. The elongate shield member includes a series of breakaway or cutaway lines that comprise linear zones of structural weakness such that portions of the shield member can be readily broken off to enable the shape of the device to be altered thereby accommodating the shape of the leg or corner of the furniture to which it is applied.
