Hello @kitkat20
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your coffee table.
Could you please remove the damaged leg and take a photo of it? We need to see the upper part of the leg to understand the type of damage. There may be options to repair it, but our members need a clear view to determine whether it can be fixed or if a new leg needs to be made.
Also, could you take a photo of the entire underside of the table? This will help us assess how much the leg assembly has shifted in relation to the other legs.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi Eric - thanks you so much for prompt response, actually leg is not broken it’s intact but seems like screw has broken coffee table wood and it is passing through it
Hello @kitkat20
Thank you very much for providing those extra photos of your coffee table leg. It appears that the leg was originally attached from the top and the leg has somehow been pulled through the tabletop. I suggest using Selleys 250g Liquid Nails Clear Construction Adhesive. I recommend making sure that the screw on the leg is tight, then squirt some liquid nails into the hole of the table. Put a small bead on the side pieces where the leg makes contact with the skirt of the table.
Use a clean rag to wipe off any excess that might overflow from the leg. I propose using a ratchet strap around the table skirt to keep everything together while the adhesive cures. Please make sure not to get any adhesive on the strap or it will get stuck to the table. Allow at least 24 hours before removing the strap.
Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1, @Nailbag and @JoeAzza for their recommendations.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
Eric
