Building a dining table? Refinishing an old desk? You want the top to stay attached without seeing screws from above. These figure 8 fasteners give you a clean, professional look while handling the natural movement of wood. Each fastener is shaped like the number 8. One end screws into the tabletop. The other end screws into the apron or base frame. The 8-shaped slot in the middle allows the fastener to slide just a little. Why does that matter? Wood expands and contracts with changes in humidity. If you lock it down too rigidly, the wood can crack or the table can warp. The sliding action of this figure 8 fastener prevents that problem. Made from 12-gauge stainless steel, these fasteners are thick enough for heavy dining tables and solid wood desktops. They won't rust, bend, or fail over time. The set includes 30 fasteners and 60 screws, enough for most standard tables (typically 4 to 8 fasteners per table). Keep extras for future builds or repairs. Use them for farmhouse tables, workbenches, kitchen islands, countertops, console tables, and outdoor furniture made from weather-resistant wood. Installation is straightforward. Pre-drill shallow holes, position the fastener, and drive the screws in. No special tools required. Whether you are a professional furniture maker or a weekend DIYer, these figure 8 fasteners make tabletop attachment simple, strong, and invisible from the top.
