If you think they are good quality, use them. Do they say the weight limit?

No weight limit. I asked the seller and he said they dont handle aquarium weight. But what i dont understand is the lowest m6 bolts weight can handle a fair amount of pressure even the lowest grade. That’s the part i dont understand. And all the m6 feet i found that looks similar to the one provided. And they all say “chair, desks, washing machine” etc its not like i can fine one thar says “this feet handles 500lbs per foot” i dont know im at this point where im gonna roll with it. Even waterbox said m6 bolts is am m6 bolt i dont see how would that be different

Think about weight and pressures.

Solid m6 thread pushing down on your thick rubber feet. Rubber will sway, move, rock around. If the rubber is thin, less movement.
More movement equals more chance of breaking.
No rubber at all, like steel, even less chance of breaking.

Yes but waterbox use rubber on all their feet. The new feet are not rubber they are plastic

Thin* rubber feet
Edit; no, left is thicker.

OP: I don't know. Seems crazy to me.
Just use blocks under the original feet to level it.
Good luck.

Are you saying the one in the picture on the left is thicker? And there’s a chance they might move? The left one is from amazon

Post number 72 you said the thicker one was on the left and that was waterbox. Now I'm a little confused. Care to clarify?

I am doing screen shots of your posts.




In these two posts you are saying the smaller footprint, the thicker rubber foot is both from amazon and from waterbox.
I don't know which is which because you are saying it's both. Anywho.......

The last one you posted, the gold color one, is the one I would use.

What are you concerned about?
Few hundred per leg is what you want/need.
