Hi guys,I'm attempting to recreate the missing legs and base of a Model 87 Highboy-can some one measure the legs from the bottom of the leg to the bottom of the square top section of the leg?
Thanks!
Phil
Your looking at 10 3/4".
Terry
Thank You!
I would have thought it was much more!
Tallboy,you know!

My 87 Lowboy is 10 3/4 ", the Highboy must be more.
Kent
Thank God you posted that!
I was about to start cutting tomorrow!
Still looking for HIGHBOY owners.

It will depend on whether you have a Highboy (doors that open out) or a Highboy De Luxe (doors that slide). (I see the photo you linked to is the Highboy.)

I do not own either one, but if it will help -

Overall height of the Highboy - 47-1/8"
Overall height of the Highboy De Luxe - 50-1/8"

Measure your cabinet body and then cut your legs long enough to make up the difference.
Sorry gents the 10 3/4 is for the lowboy!! Wasn't paying close attention and I always get confused on the high or lowboy cabinets. The 87 is one of my favorites!

Thanks Ron,that will help.
Thanks for editing too,I read your earlier response I wasn't sure how to react to it.

Sorry Phil, bad day yesterday. Good luck with that cabinet, eh!
