The leg includes a strip and two curved edges disposed at both sides of the strip respectively. The leg cap includes a pad and a slanted fixing portion disposed on a top of the pad. The fixing portion has a slit to divide the fixing portion into two sections. The top of the pad includes two cavities disposed at two sides of the fixing portion respectively. Lower ends of the curved edges of leg are fitted in and fully contacted with the cavities. Then, the fixing portion and the strip are riveted together, thereby connecting the leg cap with the leg.
