# How to Remove Metal Plates on Legs
Metal plates are used to hold furniture legs in place. They are placed on each corner of the bottom of a piece of furniture, such as a chair or sofa, and the furniture leg screws into the metal plate. Removing the metal plate that holds the leg in place is a relatively simple process requiring only a few tools. You can complete this project without assistance in little time.
