    Legs removable? Can you shim where the leg meets the table top?

    By the mean value theorem, you can rotate your table such that it doesn't wobble anymore.

      Doesn't that assume that all four legs are of the right length?
      What if you have a table that has a leg shorter than the others?
      If you put it on a flat floor, no amount of rotating it will keep it from wobbling.

        it also assumes that you can rotate your table in whatever room it's in! but also, in all likelihood the legs are the same length and the problem is the floor.

          >the problem is the floor
          One inch to level for a 36 inch table. That's a lot.

        cut the sides of your cardboard to make it flush with the table leg. Tape with a tape the same color as the table leg. You now have a non wobbly table and you cant see the fix. Werks for me

        I've had desks made of wood on a steel frame and they have warped over time with humidity. Seems inevitable certain tables will become wobbly over time. Thankfully it's easily fixed.

    op here. i bought some of these plastic feets of varying sizes (i think they were meant to be used under speakers) and they seem to work pretty well

      Why does the table have 3 legs at the same point? Post pic of the full table.

      This

      There’s also the threaded feet. Dishwashers and other big appliances have large ones, but my patio table had little ~3/4” diameter feet. Drill and tap a hole in each foot and stick em in. Add a super thin lock nut in each one if you want.
