Molding & Trim

French Leg

A decorative turned or carved leg applied to the base of a cabinet, replacing the standard toe kick and giving the cabinet the appearance of a freestanding piece of furniture. French legs are commonly used on sink base cabinets, island ends, and hutch-style units. They add old-world elegance and are a hallmark of traditional French country and English cottage kitchen designs.
