Wasn’t sure what board to ask this. I’m looking for replacement parts for these “stabilizing” rods for a glass desk I have. Basically when they are attached to the legs of the desk and screwed taught they prevent the desk from moving side to side… basically just tightens the whole desk together. I’ll post more pictures to explain.

This is one of the legs and glass top in the background. I got it from my father which had it since as far back as 2004 or so.

They're called tension rods

Ah haa. Okay that makes sense. My issue is the middle part is basically stripped so I can’t get it tight.

If you have like an Ace hardware or something similar nearby you should be able to bring it in and find some matching replacement parts for about $2, just scribble on it with a sharpie or something so they don't think you're trying to steal it

A threaded rod coupling nut, they're a little more expensive than I thought but still like $15
