Elongated faceted part with a 34 mm hole for custom furniture assembly and interior racks
KN-008: short answer before purchase
The geometric figure KN-008 is worth buying when an elongated wooden module 150 mm high is needed in a furniture leg, decorative post, composite baluster, or partition. Part size — 150 × 96 × 96 mm, through hole — 34 mm, material — solid beech or oak. One element can become the main faceted accent, while several identical modules create a repeating vertical pattern. A compatible wooden rod MLD-060 with a cross-section of 34 × 34 mm and a length of 1000 or 2400 mm is provided for assembly. Before ordering, the entire sequence is calculated: KN-008, washers, bushings, top and bottom parts, visible sections of the rod, and installation allowance.
Buy geometric figure KN-008 Buy wooden rod MLD-060 View all construction kit elements View partition KON-005 Order calculation of decorative post
Size KN-008 — 150 × 96 × 96 mm. The height of 150 mm makes it the main elongated element, while the cross-sectional size of 96 mm gives the post or leg a noticeable thickness.
Hole — 34 mm. It is designed for a compatible central axis, but the matching of nominal dimensions does not eliminate the need for dry fitting and tolerance checking.
The material is solid beech or oak. Beech is practical under covering enamel, oak is suitable for tinting and transparent finishes that preserve the wood texture.
KN-008 is not a finished furniture leg or a safe baluster. An axis, connecting elements, top and bottom nodes, stability testing, and structural calculation are required.
The calculation is performed for the entire sequence. Simply dividing the required height by 150 mm does not account for KN-007 washers, KN-009 bushings, straight sections of the axis, and mounting zones.
A buyer looking for where to purchase wooden geometric shapes for furniture usually encounters two extremes. Standard blanks require independent turning or milling, while finished legs and posts do not allow pattern changes. KN-008 occupies an intermediate position: the shape is already made from solid wood, but the sequence of modules, height, and finish can be assembled for a specific project.
The main advantage of the part is not only its faceted silhouette. The through hole allows the module to be threaded onto a central axis and connected with other construction elements. This way, the buyer does not cut a complex three-dimensional shape from scratch but works with ready-made geometry, calculating the order of parts and the overall height.
This approach is especially useful for custom furniture. In one design, KN-008 can become the central part of a console leg; in another, a repeating element of a decorative post; in a third, part of a partition vertical. However, modularity does not imply universal load-bearing capacity. Decorative elements must be included in the calculated structure, not replace the frame or fasteners.
To start, you can view the wooden module 150 × 96 mm, then select a base 34 × 34 mm for KN-008 and open the catalog of wooden construction kit elements. This route helps compile the specification before placing an order, rather than buying mismatched parts after starting work.
What is KN-008
KN-008 is a three-dimensional elongated faceted figure made of solid wood. The module height of 150 mm significantly exceeds its width and depth of 96 mm, so the part supports a vertical direction. It does not look like a short washer or a small bead: in the finished stand, it is an independent section that can set the scale of the entire sequence.
Our factory also produces:
Elongated shape instead of a regular cube
A cubic part provides a static, massive accent. KN-008 works differently: its facets guide the eye upward and help assemble a more slender support. The height of 150 mm reduces the number of large modules but increases the significance of each part in the pattern.

Cross dimension 96 mm
The module cannot be considered thin. In a furniture leg, a width of 96 mm creates noticeable support, while in a partition, it creates an expressive vertical line. Before ordering, a paper or volumetric mockup is made because in photographs the cross dimension often appears smaller than in reality.
Through hole 34 mm
It connects KN-008 with the central axis and adjacent elements. The hole must be protected from primer, enamel, and varnish drips: even a thin layer of coating can change the fit. Dry assembly is performed before painting.
Beech and oak
Both species allow the part to be made from solid wood, but offer different commercial scenarios. Beech is more often chosen when the finished stand needs to be painted to match the furniture color. Oak is used when the buyer values the texture and a translucent finish.
One module or repetition
One KN-008 can become the central figure between washers. Two or three elements create a strong vertical rhythm. The more repetitions, the more important the consistent orientation of the faces, the sequence of spacers, and the precision of the height.
Finished form, but not a finished structure
KN-008 saves the work of creating decorative geometry. However, the buyer must still design the axis, lower support, upper connection, and fastening. That is why the article leads from an individual product to a set, rather than promising to assemble safe furniture from a single part.
Confirmed characteristics of KN-008
| Parameter | Confirmed value | Practical significance |
|---|---|---|
| Article number | KN-008 | The article number is used to create a specification and distinguish the part from other KN elements. |
| Size | 150 × 96 × 96 mm | 150 mm is used in height calculation, 96 mm in scale and distance checks. |
| Module height | 150 мм | Each additional KN-008 increases the decorative sequence by 150 mm before accounting for separators. |
| Cross dimension | 96 × 96 mm | Need to check if the module is too massive for a thin leg or narrow partition. |
| Hole | 34 мм | Used with a compatible central axis; fit is checked before final finishing. |
| Material | Solid beech or oak | The wood species is coordinated with the axis, adjacent elements, and future coating. |
| Shape | Elongated faceted | Suitable for vertical patterns and modern geometric furniture. |
| Application | Stand, furniture leg, support, composite baluster, partition | Specific application requires a separate structural calculation. |
| Assembly | On a compatible central axis | Axis, fixation, upper and lower nodes are not automatically considered included in one KN-008. |
| Package contents | Separate module; current configuration is specified in the card | Axis, washers, and bushings are ordered as separate items unless the card indicates otherwise. |
The parameters of KN-008 are simple, but they cannot be read individually. The 150 mm size participates in arithmetic, the 34 mm hole defines the axis, the wood species determines the finish, and the 96 mm width affects furniture proportions. A useful order only arises when all four parameters are combined into one specification.
How KN-008 differs from nearby construction kit elements
It is useful for the buyer to look not only at the KN-008 card but also at adjacent parts. The difference between them helps to understand the role each element should play. An elongated figure rarely works alone: it is separated by washers, connected to more compact modules, or used as a central section between upper and lower transitions.
| Article | Confirmed Size | Role in sequence | When to choose instead of or together with KN-008 |
|---|---|---|---|
| KN-006 | 90 × 72 × 72 mm | Compact faceted element | When a smaller scale or transition between a large module and a thin axis is needed. |
| KN-007 | 44 × 120 × 120 mm | Wide round washer | When you need to visually stop a vertical, widen a transition, or separate two KN-008. |
| KN-008 | 150 × 96 × 96 mm | Elongated main module | When the vertical needs a noticeable faceted section 150 mm high. |
| KN-009 | 22 × 62 × 62 mm | Compact spacer bushing | When large modules need to be separated by a thin gap without increasing the width of the post. |
| KN-011 | 105 × 105 × 105 mm | Cubic massive accent | When a static square shape is needed instead of an elongated edge. |
| KN-012 | 140 × 96 × 96 mm | Conical transition module | When the vertical should taper or widen rather than maintain a uniform cross-section. |
KN-008 or KN-006
KN-006 is lower and narrower. It suits a thin post, a small furniture facade, or a sequence where a large 96 mm module looks heavy. KN-008 is more noticeable and gains height faster. For a direct comparison, you can buy the compact faceted figure KN-006 and make two templates at a 1:1 scale.
KN-008 and KN-007
The wide washer 120 mm protrudes beyond the faceted module 96 mm and creates a pronounced horizontal belt. This combination works well in a furniture leg or central post where one tall element needs to be separated from another. For calculation, it is important to remember: each wooden washer KN-007 adds 44 mm to the total length.
KN-008 and KN-009
The bushing 22 × 62 × 62 mm creates a short pause. It does not expand the composition more than the main module and is suitable for a repeating post. If you place one KN-009 between six KN-008s, five separators will add 110 mm. It is precisely such small values that most often disrupt the initial calculation.
KN-008 or KN-011
The cube 105 mm looks stable and heavy, while the elongated KN-008 is more dynamic. The cubic element is convenient at the center of symmetry or near the base. KN-008 better supports a long vertical. A detailed selection of three other forms reveals the material how to choose KN-005, KN-006 or KN-011.
KN-008 or KN-012
These parts have similar height and the same maximum cross-sectional dimension of 96 mm, but different silhouettes. KN-008 retains a faceted width and is perceived as an independent volume. KN-012 forms a tapered transition. If the post should taper toward the axis or widen toward the support, it is more useful to buy the conical shape KN-012. If a repeatable elongated module is needed, choose KN-008.
Why the 34 mm hole is a key parameter
The shape attracts attention, but the hole determines assembly feasibility. It passes through the part and allows KN-008 to be placed on the central base. The nominal 34 mm must match the cross-section of the axis, but the actual fit depends on tolerances, wood moisture, sanding, and coating.
Matching numbers do not replace a test fit
An axis of 34 × 34 mm and a hole of 34 mm appear mathematically identical. In real wood, the connection should be neither too loose nor so tight that the module has to be hammered in. Before serial finishing, test one axis and several shapes.
A square axis prevents rotation
The 34 × 34 mm cross-section helps maintain the orientation of the faces. This is important for four identical legs and several partition posts. If one shape is rotated relative to others, light falls differently on the faces and the error becomes noticeable.
The coating reduces the passage
Primer, enamel, varnish, and drips can alter the fit. The hole is either masked or processed strictly within the technological tolerance. You cannot simply fully paint a part and then try to force it onto the axle.
A metal pipe is not considered an automatic replacement
Another base may differ in shape, rigidity, expansion coefficient, and method of fixation. If the project requires metal, compatibility is calculated separately. The article does not transfer the parameters of MLD-060 to a random pipe.
The joints must work as a single system
The central axis sets straightness, but does not necessarily bear the entire load without additional components. The top connection to the furniture, the bottom support, and the fixation of modules are designed together.
Wooden axle MLD-060 for KN-008
In the constructor materials for a 34 mm hole, MLD-060 with a cross-section of 34 × 34 mm is used. The card is placed at the technical address mentioning FUR-036, so when ordering, you should focus on the product name and parameters, rather than trying to change the URL. Available lengths are 1000 and 2400 mm, materials are beech or oak.
Axle length 1000 mm
Suitable for one relatively short stand, furniture leg, or test sample if the usable length fits within a meter. Before ordering, consider the sections that go into the top and bottom assemblies.
Axis length 2400 mm
Convenient for a high partition, several short parts, or a project with cutting. The cutting scheme is prepared in advance so that leftovers can be used and the wood grain matches the structure.
Beech to beech, oak to oak
The same species simplifies finishing and reduces the visibility of exposed axis sections. Mixing is only allowed per project. Under a transparent coating, the oak grain on a beech axis will differ in pattern.
Checking straightness
A long wooden axis must be inspected before assembly. Even a slight deviation will show on a repeating partition. Specific tolerances and acceptance rules are clarified in the card or with the manager.
Commercial route
Together with the main module it costs Buy wooden rod MLD-060, choosing a length of 1000 or 2400 mm and the same wood species. Purchasing one KN-008 without a base only makes sense if a compatible axis already exists and its fit has been verified.
Dry assembly before painting
Dry assembly is a check of the full sequence without final glue and without attempting to permanently secure the parts. It shows whether the holes and axis match, whether the length is sufficient, whether the faces are oriented the same, and whether the height matches the project.
First, lay out the sequence on the table
All elements are arranged in the order they will stand vertically. Next to them, article numbers and heights are labeled. This simple technique helps to notice a missing bushing or an extra washer before threading onto the axle.
Then check the fit
Each KN-008 should be installed without destructive force and without excessive play. If one part behaves differently, it is marked and the cause is determined, rather than adjusting the entire axle to a random deviation.
Orient the edges according to the marks
On the invisible area, temporary markings are placed: front, back, rack number, leg number. For four furniture supports, it is useful to mark the same face so that all parts look the same after assembly.
Measure the actual height
The sum of nominal values may differ from the assembled sequence due to fit and technological gaps. Before painting, measure the actual set and compare it with the project.
Check disassembly
After fitting, the parts should be removable without chipping. If the module is stuck on an unpainted axle, the problem will become more serious after finishing. The cause is eliminated before transferring to the paint shop.
What not to do from scratch when there are ready-made STAVROS elements
A DIY project doesn't have to start with a wooden block and complex milling. The buyer can focus on calculation, design, finishing, and assembly using a ready-made faceted figure, axle, and spacers. This reduces the number of operations where it's especially easy to get different sizes on paired parts.
No need to cut eight identical faces by hand
For one leg, a slight deviation may go unnoticed. On four supports, the difference becomes obvious. Ready-made KN-008 allows ordering identical SKUs and controlling the batch as a set.
No need to drill a long central hole yourself
A through hole of 34 mm is already part of the product. Drilling a large wooden part yourself requires precise equipment; the axle shifting to the side will ruin the geometry.
No need to look for random washers
Instead of parts of different diameters and wood species, you can buy a wide spacer KN-007 or a compact bushing KN-009. This simplifies repeating the same pattern.
No need to adjust each post from memory
The specification by part numbers sets the sequence. For two, four, or ten identical verticals, the master repeats the approved set rather than restoring dimensions from a photo.
No need to turn a decorative module into a load-bearing part without calculation
The finished form simplifies decoration but does not replace the furniture designer or staircase railing engineer. Critical nodes remain part of the project.
KN-008 for a modular furniture leg
In the KN-008 furniture leg, it can work as a central volumetric part between the upper connecting node and the lower support. The height of 150 mm makes it noticeable even in a relatively small console or cabinet. But one piece does not form a finished leg: the structure must transfer the load from the body to the floor through a calculated axis and connections.
One KN-008 in a short leg
This option is suitable for furniture where one geometric accent is needed. The module can be separated from above and below by washers or straight sections of the axis, if provided by the project. The total height is made up of all parts, not just 150 mm.
Two KN-008 in a high support
Two modules give 300 mm before accounting for separators. A visual pause is usually needed between them, otherwise the edges may merge into one elongated volume. KN-009 will add 22 mm, KN-007 will add 44 mm and noticeably widen the silhouette.
Four identical legs
If each leg uses two KN-008 modules, a furniture set will require eight modules. They are supplemented with an equal number of separators, four axles, top mounts, bottom supports, and possible spare parts. All four sequences are assembled side by side and compared in height before painting.
Paired console legs
A console can use two or four supports. The faceted pattern pairs well with a minimalist tabletop, but the 96 mm width requires a sufficiently large body. On a narrow cabinet, such legs may appear heavier than the facade.
Load is not derived from size
It cannot be stated that a massive module supports a specific number of kilograms. Load-bearing capacity depends on the axle, top joint, bottom assembly, furniture body, grain direction, and assembly quality.
Base pad and floor contact
KN-008 should not directly replace the bottom support unless confirmed by the design. The base pad, adjustable support, or other part is chosen based on the floor, furniture weight, and usage method.
KN-008 for decorative post
A decorative post can be part of a cabinet, furniture portal, console, headboard, or interior panel. Here, the module primarily serves as a visual vertical, but still requires a stable axle and secure attachment to the top and bottom parts.
One main module
KN-008 is placed in the center of the stand, with straight sections of the axis left at the top and bottom. This pattern looks restrained and suits modern furniture, where a complex turned leg would be excessive.
Repeat of three modules
Three KN-008 give 450 mm. Two KN-009 separators add 44 mm, so the central part takes up 494 mm. Then the top and bottom finishes are considered. This is already a large vertical that needs to be tried on the facade at a 1:1 scale.
Wide washers as cornices
KN-007 measuring 44 × 120 × 120 mm protrudes beyond the main shape by 12 mm on each side relative to the 96 mm size. Such a belt helps separate the faceted module and connect the stand to the horizontal furniture part.
Thin bushings for frequent rhythm
KN-009 measuring 22 × 62 × 62 mm is smaller than the main module. It creates a recessed pause and emphasizes the transition from one KN-008 to another without widening the stand.
Stand for furniture portal
Two identical verticals on the sides of a cabinet or niche must have the same sequence, face orientation, and height. The specification is written from bottom to top and mirrored only where it matches the shape of the parts.
Repair of existing furniture
KN-008 can be used for a new decorative post, but is not always suitable as a replacement for an old turned part. You need to compare the mounting points, overall height, and width of the adjacent facade. Sometimes it is easier to make two new matching posts than to try to replicate a single lost one.
KN-008 for partition
In a decorative partition, several verticals create zoning between rooms, hallway and living room, kitchen and dining room, study and common area. KN-008 is already used as part of the geometric set KON-005, which demonstrates its practical role in the vertical pattern.
A separate module and a ready-made set are different purchases
Purchasing KN-008 gives you the freedom to create your own sequence. Purchasing KON-005 allows you to use a pre-prepared set of one post. If the buyer needs a proven ready-made pattern, you can see the ready-made application of KN-008. If an individual pattern is needed, separate items are assembled.
Number of verticals
It depends on the width of the opening, the spacing of the posts, the required transparency, and the structural design. A universal distance cannot be assigned based solely on the width of KN-008. In the partition, the maximum dimensions of all modules are taken into account, including the KN-007 washer with a width of 120 mm.
Pattern repeat
Each vertical must have the same sequence unless the project allows alternation. Even one missing bushing will change the height by 22 mm and disrupt the line of adjacent shapes.
Face orientation
The square axis helps maintain rotation, but parts are still marked. Under side lighting, a single rotated KN-008 will be noticeable by a different pattern of light and shadow.
Room height
The axis length of 2400 mm suits many interior tasks, but the finished stand must match the actual height from floor to top mount. You cannot simply use the entire length of the molding without considering mounting nodes and base irregularities.
KON-006 and KON-007 as alternatives
If your own specification seems too complex, you can buy a complex decorative stand KON-006 or look at the universal partition KON-007. These products do not replace KN-008 as a separate module, but show a different commercial path — a ready-made kit instead of a self-assembled set.
KN-008 for composite baluster
A faceted shape can become a decorative section of a composite baluster, but the word "baluster" should not create a false sense of ready-made safety. The stair railing is calculated as a system: height, spacing, fastening, handrail, and load resistance are determined by the project.
Decorative section, not a finished railing
KN-008 adds shape and volume. The load-bearing function depends on the central axis, connections, and the entire structure. You cannot simply string several elements together and install them on the stairs without verification.
Height 150 mm is convenient for calculation
One module creates an accent in the central part of the baluster. Two give 300 mm, but together with washers and bushings, the length quickly increases. The project must maintain the required overall height.
Width 96 mm
Such a baluster will be visually more massive than many standard models. Spacing and clearances are checked according to current requirements and the specific project; the article does not prescribe universal distances.
Combination with handrail
The upper part of the composite baluster must connect to the handrail through a calculated joint. KN-008 is not intended for direct random trimming at an angle without structural verification.
When it's better to choose a ready-made baluster
If the main task is to quickly assemble a standard staircase railing with confirmed dimensions, a ready-made baluster may be more rational. KN-008 is suitable for an individual project where a specialist handles the work and a decorative sequence is truly needed.
How to calculate the number of KN-008
The first approximate calculation seems simple: divide the usable height by 150 mm. But the result only shows the maximum number of main modules without separators. A full formula is needed for ordering.
Usable sequence height = total structure height − lower base − upper finish − mounting sections − visible straight sections of the axis.
Set height = number of KN-008 × 150 mm + sum of heights of all washers, bushings, and other modules.
Example: a 900 mm section without separators
900 ÷ 150 = 6. Theoretically, six KN-008 fill the section. But such a set will look like a continuous series of large faceted shapes, and the connection points may require visual separation.
The same six modules with KN-009
Between six KN-008, five bushings will be needed. The main elements give 900 mm, the separators — 5 × 22 = 110 mm. The total is 1010 mm. So, the initial quantity no longer fits into the 900 mm section.
Five KN-008 and four KN-009
Five modules give 750 mm, four bushings give 88 mm. Total length is 838 mm. 62 mm remain, which can be distributed between the upper and lower straight sections, other parts, or mounting assemblies, if it fits the design.
Five KN-008 and four KN-007
750 + 176 = 926 mm. This pattern no longer fits within 900 mm, and the washer width of 120 mm makes the post noticeably bulkier. The calculation shows why the type of spacer affects the result no less than the number of main shapes.
Spare module
For a serial project, it is useful to discuss one additional KN-008. It will be needed for a trial cut, replacing a damaged part, or subsequent repair. The exact quantity of spares depends on the order volume and is agreed upon before production.
Example calculation of four furniture legs
Assume each leg uses two KN-008 and one KN-009 between them. The decorative part of one leg will be 150 + 22 + 150 = 322 mm. Four legs will require eight KN-008 and four KN-009.
What else is not included in the 322 mm
Upper attachment to the body, lower support, possible washers, straight sections of the axle, and a foot pad. Therefore, the final leg height will be greater than the decorative sequence.
Uniformity of four sets
All parts are laid out in four rows. Each KN-008 receives a leg number and position. After finishing, the elements are returned to the same set, especially if natural wood has tonal differences.
Axis and cutting
Four legs require four separate bases of calculated length. Before purchasing MLD-060, the total cutting from 1000mm and 2400mm blanks is compared, considering technological losses.
Height check
Dry-assembled legs are placed side by side on a flat surface and measured from the bottom to the top point. The difference cannot be compensated by random tightening or different amounts of glue.
Stability of finished furniture
After attachment to the body, the geometry and contact with the floor are checked. KN-008 gives shape, but the entire set ensures stability.
Beech or oak for KN-008
The material affects not only the color. The species determines the surface character, finishing method, and how the module will combine with the axis and adjacent elements. For a repeating stand, it is better to order KN-008, MLD-060, washers, and bushings of the same species, unless the project intentionally provides contrast.
Beech under covering enamel
Beech is chosen when geometric shapes need to be white, black, colored, or match the furniture facade. The calm texture does not compete with the faceted silhouette, and the opaque layer unites different elements into one object. Before ordering, check the current surface preparation and coordinate the painting system.
Oak for tinting
Oak is suitable for a project where the wood grain should remain visible. On the edges of KN-008, light reveals the fibers differently, so the same shade looks deeper than on a flat part. The tint is checked on a volumetric sample or a spare module.
Mixing beech and oak
Under dense enamel, the difference in species may be almost visually imperceptible, but the technological properties still differ. Under a transparent finish, mixing creates a clear mismatch. If the axis remains visible, its material is especially important.
One batch for identical legs
Natural wood varies in shade. For four legs or several posts, it is useful to order a set at the same time, distribute the parts vertically, and approve a single color sample. A later additional order may differ slightly in grain and tone.
Quality check of preparation
Edges, hole ends, and transitions are inspected before painting. General information about species and preparation can be found on the page choose beech or oak and surface preparation.
Enamel or transparent finish
The covering color emphasizes the geometry
Solid enamel makes the shape cleaner and helps use KN-008 in a modern interior. The matte surface softens glare, while the semi-gloss surface highlights edges more and requires more careful preparation.
Tinting emphasizes the mass
Transparent coating shows the direction of the fibers. On several identical parts, the pattern will not be completely identical, and this is a normal property of natural wood. However, the shade must remain consistent.
The hole is protected from coating
If primer or enamel gets inside, the fit on the axle will become tighter. The bushing cannot be forced in: this can split the part or damage the finish. Technological protection of the hole is planned before painting work.
The axle and modules are finished as a set
If part of MLD-060 remains visible, the color and gloss must match KN-008 and the separators. The hidden area cannot be uncontrollably coated with a thick layer if it is part of the seating connection.
Painting before or after dry assembly
First, fitting, marking, and measurement are performed. Then the structure is disassembled for finishing, if the technology does not provide a different order. Painting an unknown set that has not yet been assembled on the axle is risky.
Same shine on the facets
Light reflects unevenly on different planes. This is not always a defect. But drips, unpainted areas, and excess material on sharp transitions need to be identified under side lighting.
To prepare the kit, you can purchase materials for installation and finishing KN-008, using only compatible compounds and not considering any glue sufficient for a load-bearing unit.
How KN-008 works in different interiors
Living room
The faceted legs of a console or small table support laconic furniture and add volume without plant carvings. In a large room, you can repeat two modules; in a compact one, leave one KN-008 between calm sections of the axis.
Hallway
The module is suitable for a narrow console, furniture stand, or light partition between the entry area and the living room. The width of 96 mm should be compared with the passage and furniture depth: the decorative detail should not protrude into the movement path.
Cabinet
Tinted oak connects KN-008 with a desk, library, and panels. The geometry looks stricter than turned spheres and suits modern classics. In paired stands, the same orientation of the facets is especially important.
Bedroom
KN-008 can be part of the legs of a console, vanity table, cabinet, or headboard stand. For four supports, the same height is calculated and the stability of the body is checked. White enamel makes the large shape visually lighter.
Wardrobe
Decorative stands can frame open sections and furniture portals. They do not replace the load-bearing frame of the cabinet but help connect the facades.
Children's room
Colored geometric legs look expressive, but the part cannot be promoted as a toy, sorter, or educational element. Finished furniture must have secure fastenings and a stable structure.
Commercial interior
In a showroom, restaurant, hotel, or shop, repeating KN-008 can become the signature geometry of stands and partitions. For a series, first assemble a test unit, check the finish, cleaning, and stability, then approve the batch.
Practical choice for different tasks
Need to assemble one expressive leg
Use one KN-008 as the center, add a compatible axle, top node, and bottom support. The KN-007 washer will reinforce the transition, and KN-009 will create a finer pause. Do not order just one shape if the other nodes are not yet defined.
Need four identical furniture supports
Compose one approved row of parts, multiply each SKU by four, and add an agreed-upon margin. All kits are assembled and measured before painting. Labeling prevents accidental mixing of parts after finishing.
Need a stand about one meter high
Do not divide 1000 mm by 150 only. First subtract the top and bottom fastenings, then select the number of KN-008 and dividers. For example, six modules and five KN-009 already give 1010 mm without mounting zones.
Need a partition with a ready-made pattern
More rational buying the KON-005 partition kit and use the intended sequence. A separate KN-008 is needed when the pattern is designed individually.
A more compact module is needed
Consider KN-006 measuring 90 × 72 × 72 mm. It is lighter in scale and allows for more frequent repetition of faceted elements without excessive massiveness.
A narrowing transition is needed
KN-012 with a height of 140 mm and a maximum size of 96 mm is more suitable because the conical shape connects different sections. KN-008 maintains a more constant volume.
A static square shape is needed
For the central cubic accent, you can buy wooden cube KN-011. It is lower than KN-008 but wider on one side and creates a different character.
An individual sequence without independent calculation is needed
Provide the desired height, purpose, number of racks and selected wood species to order a calculation for an individual rack or support. This is especially useful for partitions and serial furniture.
What to buy together with KN-008
A single module rarely covers the entire task. A rack needs an axis, an expressive rhythm needs separators, a finished partition needs a kit or a project. Buying related items helps to check the wood species, dimensions and sequence in advance, rather than searching for random parts after painting the first batch.
| What to add to the purchase | Why this is needed | For which scenario | What to Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Geometric figure KN-008 | Create an elongated faceted section 150 mm high | Leg, rack, baluster, partition | Quantity, wood species, 34 mm hole and facet orientation |
| Axis MLD-060 34 × 34 mm | Connect modules into one vertical | All prefabricated structures with KN-008 | Length 1000 or 2400 mm, straightness, wood species, and actual fit |
| Wide washer KN-007 | Split large modules and widen the transition | Furniture leg, central post, support | Additional 44 mm and width 120 mm |
| Bushing KN-009 | Create a thin gap between KN-008 | Repeating post and partition | Each divider adds 22 mm to the height |
| Compact figure KN-006 | Add smaller faceted scale | Transitions, thin legs, complex sequence | Size 90 × 72 × 72 mm and hole compatibility |
| Cube KN-011 | Create static square accent | Leg center, base, furniture portal | Size 105 × 105 × 105 mm and difference from elongated shape |
| Cone figure KN-012 | Form a taper or expansion | Transition from axis to large module or support | Height of 140 mm and cone direction |
| Partition kit KON-005 | Use a ready-made geometric sequence | Zoning without individually selecting each module | Height, configuration, material, and number of posts |
| Mounting and finishing materials | Prepare beech or oak for the chosen finish | Enamel, tinting, assembly, and surface protection | Compatibility of composition and absence of coating inside the seat |
| Calculation of an individual post or support | Compile a specification and check the height | Serial furniture, partition, custom baluster | Specify the purpose, overall height, number of verticals, and finish |
How not to confuse KN-008 with similar products
KN-008 and a ready-made furniture leg
A ready-made leg has a calculated top mount, bottom support, and stated construction. KN-008 is only a decorative module. A customer who orders a single piece instead of a ready-made leg receives not a complete set, but the central part of the future support.
KN-008 and construction timber
Timber is intended for other tasks and does not have a prepared faceted shape with a central hole. It cannot be considered a cheap direct replacement without processing, drilling, and geometry checking.
KN-008 and a wooden toy
Despite the word 'geometric figure', the product belongs to furniture components. It is not intended for children's sorting, games, or educational sets. Do not mix these queries in the article and meta tags.
KN-008 and a flat decoupage blank
The module is voluminous, measuring 150 × 96 × 96 mm, and is designed for a central axis. The flat plywood rhombuses and figures serve a different purpose and are not part of the assembled stand.
KN-008 and KN-012
The dimensions are similar, but the shape differs. KN-012 serves as a conical transition, KN-008 as an elongated faceted volume. Substitution will change the rhythm and direction of light on the stand.
KN-008 and KON-005
A separate figure allows you to create your own sequence. KON-005 is a ready-made partition stand kit. The price of one KN-008 does not reflect the budget of a finished partition, because it includes other elements: the axis, finishing, fasteners, and the required number of verticals.
KN-008 and a safe stair baluster
The module can be part of a composite baluster, but should not be sold as a finished railing. Without calculating the axis and fasteners, compliance with loads cannot be promised.
Mistakes when purchasing and assembling
Dividing the total height only by 150 mm
This way the buyer gets the number of main modules, but forgets about washers, bushings, and installation zones. The result turns out longer than the opening or furniture leg.
Ordering the axis after painting the figures
The fit may be too tight, and correction will damage the finish. MLD-060 and KN-008 are being fitted before painting.
Consider the 34 mm hole as a guarantee of a perfect connection.
Nominal dimensions match, but wood and coating require verification. Dry fitting is mandatory for each batch.
Allow primer inside the hole.
Even a thin layer reduces the clearance. Attempting to force the module onto the axis creates a risk of cracking along the grain.
Do not account for the width of KN-007.
The 120 mm washer is 24 mm wider than KN-008. In a narrow furniture opening or partition, its edge may protrude more than expected.
Mix the sequence of paired uprights.
One missing KN-009 changes the height by 22 mm. Uprights are marked and assembled according to the specification, not from memory.
Do not orient the faces.
A rotated figure changes the light pattern. On one leg, an error may be unnoticeable; on four, it creates a different character of the furniture.
Using a module as a load-bearing element without calculation
A massive appearance does not confirm load capacity. The load is transmitted through the entire assembly, including the axle, body, and lower mount.
Mixing beech and oak without a project
Under tinting, the difference in texture becomes apparent. Even under enamel, materials may require different preparation.
Ordering an exact quantity without a reserve
For a test sample, color matching, or repair, an additional part may be needed. The reserve is agreed upon before production, especially for a series of furniture.
Not checking an unusual URL MLD-060
The axle card is located at the technical address where FUR-036 is mentioned. You cannot invent another URL or consider the product missing only because of the slug. Use the confirmed link and check the name in the card itself.
Attempting to paint an already glued long post
Access to joints and internal areas deteriorates. If the technology allows, elements are finished individually after dry assembly, then assembled, protecting the finish.
Who is KN-008 suitable for
- for a custom furniture leg design with a central axis;
- for a decorative cabinet post, console, or furniture portal;
- for a partition with its own geometric pattern;

Control card for repeated uprights and legs
When a project uses several identical verticals, it is useful to prepare a control card. It links the sketch, the list of SKUs, the axis length, the finish, and the location of each part. Such a card is especially important for four furniture legs, paired cabinet uprights, and a partition made of several verticals.
Sequence from bottom to top
Each element is recorded in exact order: bottom support, straight axis section, KN-007, KN-008, KN-009, next module, and top finish. The height of each position and the total sum are indicated next to it. This eliminates assembly "by memory."
Vertical number
Each upright or leg receives a designation. After dry assembly, its parts are stored together or marked temporarily in a way that does not damage the wood or interfere with the coating. After painting, the elements are returned to the original set.
Face orientation
The front side is marked on the card. This helps the craftsman to orient KN-008 and adjacent figures identically. For a partition, it indicates which face is turned toward the main room and which toward the side area.
Wood species and finish
Record beech or oak, color code, gloss level, and approved sample. If the axis is partially visible, include it in the same finishing set. For oak, retain the tinting sample; for beech, the enamel swatch.
Actual height after fitting
The nominal sum is supplemented by the dry assembly result. If one vertical differs, determine the cause before installation. Do not compensate for the discrepancy with a random gap or different fastening depth.
Storage until final assembly
Protect modules from impacts on edges and do not stack them so that the weight of the batch rests on a single protrusion. Store axes on a flat support and recheck straightness before installation. Separate finished painted parts with a soft material compatible with the finish.
Reference for future reorder
After assembly, retain the specification, photo, coating code, and one control part or swatch. This simplifies repair and replication of furniture if another shelf or replacement of a damaged module is needed later.
How to buy KN-008 on STAVROS
Purchase begins with the purpose. For one furniture leg, one set of elements is needed; for four supports, four identical sets; for a partition, several verticals with a repeating sequence. First, determine the structure and usable height, then create a specification by article numbers.
Open the main module card
In the card, you can Buy geometric figure KN-008, check the material, current surface preparation, and order conditions. The specification records the quantity per vertical and the total number of verticals.
Add the central axis
The next step is to select a wooden axis with a length of 1000 or 2400 mm. Cutting is calculated in advance to understand how many blanks are needed and what remnants can be used.
Select the separators
For a wide pause, use KN-007, for a thin one, use KN-009. Each element adds its own height, so after selecting the pattern, the calculation is repeated. You cannot first order six KN-008 and then add five washers without recalculating.
Compare ready-made kits
If the goal is a partition, it is useful to study KON-005, KON-006, and KON-007. A ready-made kit may be more rational than an individual specification, especially if the buyer does not want to independently develop the sequence and installation nodes.
Agree on the material and finish
It is better to order all visible parts of one rack from the same wood species. Beech is chosen for covering enamel, oak for tinting. Test painting and dry assembly are performed before final installation.
Clarify complex nodes
If KN-008 must fit into a load-bearing furniture support, baluster, or high partition, a calculation is required before ordering. In this case, it is better order a calculation for an individual rack or support, providing dimensions, photos, quantity, and purpose.
Check receipt of the batch
Long axes and a large number of identical modules require suitable packaging and storage space. Current conditions can be checked on the page payment and delivery of constructor elements.
FAQ: questions about the geometric figure KN-008
What size is KN-008?
The confirmed size is 150 × 96 × 96 mm. The module height is 150 mm, the maximum cross-sectional dimension is 96 mm.
What hole is provided in KN-008?
A through hole of 34 mm. It is used for assembly on a compatible central axis.
What wood is KN-008 made from?
The model is available in solid beech or oak. Beech is more often chosen for enamel, oak for tinting.
Is KN-008 a ready-made furniture leg?
No. It is a decorative module. A finished leg requires an axis, top mount, bottom support, height check, and stability calculation.
Can KN-008 be used in a decorative stand?
Yes. One module can be a central accent, several can create a repeating vertical pattern. The entire stand is assembled on a compatible axis.
Is KN-008 suitable for a partition?
Yes, the model is used in geometric stands and is part of the KON-005 composition. The number of stands, spacing, and fasteners are calculated for a specific opening.
Can a baluster be assembled from KN-008?
The module can be included in a composite baluster, but the finished railing requires a structural calculation. One KN-008 is not considered a safe stair baluster.
Which axis fits the 34 mm hole?
The constructor uses MLD-060 with a cross-section of 34 × 34 mm. Before painting, the actual fit must be checked.
What lengths of MLD-060 are available?
In the SEO scheme, 1000 and 2400 mm are confirmed. The appropriate length is selected based on cutting and installation sections.
How many KN-008 are needed for a one-meter high post?
Simple division gives six modules and a remainder of 100 mm. But separators will increase the length. For example, six KN-008 and five KN-009 take up 1010 mm even before the top and bottom fastenings.
How to account for washers and bushings?
The height of each separator is added to the total height of KN-008. KN-007 adds 44 mm, KN-009 adds 22 mm.
How is KN-008 different from KN-006?
KN-006 is more compact: 90 × 72 × 72 mm. KN-008 is taller and wider, so it works as the main module, while KN-006 serves as a smaller faceted adapter.
How is KN-008 different from KN-012?
KN-012 has a conical shape and a height of 140 mm. KN-008 is an elongated faceted part with a height of 150 mm and a more consistent volume.
How to combine KN-008 with KN-007?
The wide washer KN-007 creates a horizontal belt and separates large modules. Its height of 44 mm and width of 120 mm must be taken into account.
How to combine KN-008 with KN-009?
The bushing KN-009 creates a thin pause between faceted shapes and adds 22 mm to the total height.
What to choose — beech or oak?
Beech is rational under a covering enamel. Oak is suitable for transparent or semi-transparent finishes when it is important to preserve the wood grain.
When to paint the elements?
After dry assembly, fit check, and marking. The assembly is first put together without final fastening, then disassembled for finishing.
How to protect the hole from paint?
The masking technique is chosen by the finisher. The main thing is to avoid a layer that will reduce the passage and interfere with fitting onto the axis.
Can KN-008 be used on a metal pipe?
Only after separate verification of shape, dimensions, clearance, and fixation. The parameters of the wooden axis MLD-060 cannot be automatically transferred to metal.
Is mechanical fastening required?
It depends on the design. For a load-bearing leg, baluster, or partition, one adhesive cannot be considered a universal solution. The joint is calculated separately.
Can KN-008 be used outdoors?
Only with confirmed external protection, a suitable adhesive system, and agreed operating conditions. A standard interior module is not considered universally weather-resistant.
Do I need to buy a spare part?
For a series of posts or legs, it is useful to discuss one additional module for trial painting, replacement, or repair. The exact spare depends on the order.
Can you combine beech and oak in one rack?
Technically it is possible according to the design, but under a transparent finish the difference will be noticeable. For a uniform result, it is better to use one species.
Where to buy KN-008?
In the card, you can buy wooden module KN-008 and check the current order parameters.
Where can I see all compatible parts?
Open all geometric shapes and constructor elements, then compile a full specification.
How to use rounded parts together with a faceted module?
Rounded shapes soften the geometry and create transitions. The principles of using blanks with a central hole are revealed in the article how to use round blanks with a hole.
Where to view the finished partition calculation?
For a complete solution, the article is useful how to calculate a partition from complete posts. It helps compare a ready-made set with an individual sequence KN-008.
Result: KN-008 as the main module, not a random blank
KN-008 size 150 × 96 × 96 mm solves a specific task: adds an elongated faceted shape to a prefabricated furniture leg, post, baluster, or partition. The through hole of 34 mm connects the module to the MLD-060 axis, and compatible washers, bushings, and geometric shapes allow control over height and pattern.
An informed order begins with calculating the entire vertical. The buyer determines the useful height, selects the number of KN-008, adds KN-007 or KN-009, considers the top and bottom nodes, checks the axis, and performs a dry assembly. Only then is the set sent for finishing. Birch is suitable for opaque enamel, oak for tinting while preserving texture.
STAVROS allows you to buy not random wooden blanks for furniture, but coordinated elements of one system: KN-008, MLD-060 axis, spacers, adjacent modules, and ready-made partition sets. This route reduces manual fabrication of complex geometry and helps obtain identical legs or posts with a clear specification, size, and finish.
