Unstable coffee shop tables. Just make them 3 legged and be done with it.
Im not sure I understand, aren't tables usually wobbly because a leg is a different height than the rest from being bent or something?
In that case, couldn't a 3 legged table also have a leg that isn't quite the right height?
If there are three legs, and one is a different height, the table won't wobble but the top will be slanted. Probably still not ideal at a coffee shop, but at least it won't move!
Oooh, I see what you mean, yeah, that does make sense!
Unless you're sharing the table with someone - then you'll get some seesaw action!
Never connected those dots before.... Now I'm also wondering why most tables aren't 3-legged. Too easy to knock over maybe?
It's harder to get 4 people around the table with 3 legs. Someone will have a table leg between their legs. You don't have the problem with 4 legs.
