I’ve been noticing a lot bun feet on furniture recently, and I’ve got to say I’m not particularly chuffed.

Bun feet have the unfortunate effect of making a piece of furniture look dumpy. I can’t help but imagine the legs started off tall and sleek, but were squashed down to that unfortunate overturned egg shape under weight of a massive load. It’s like finishing off a peg pant with a gigantic chunky clog — not at all flattering.

I will concede that bun feet do work in the right context — airy-based, open-legged pieces tend to pull them off better than fully upholstered furnishings. But for your viewing pleasure, here are some of the worst offenders I spotted online… Enjoy.
