The feet are shipped with correct mounting hardware and pads to optionally use to cover the mounting screw holes.

It is a very heavy wood and is so dense that in order to put a nail through it one would normally drill a hole first rather than try to drive a nail with a hammer. These wood en feet are so strong by comparison that i'm including a zippy lighter guarantee, to the original purchaser if these feet ever break I ll replace them at no cost. That is what is shown in the photos.
