Abstract: A hardware leg for both bracing furniture joints and providing an integrated friction reducing foot pad for supporting the furniture item. The leg has an angled bracket portion mountable to individual panels or a pair of corner adjacent surfaces through screw or nail fastener holes, staple engageable nibs or through the penetratable plates of the bracket itself. The bracket and foot pad can be formed integrally through injection molding from a strong, durable, slick, non-scratching plastic material such as graphite impregnated acetal resin. Further, colored dyes can be selected and mixed with the material during molding to provide a leg color matched to the furniture piece.
