A chair leveler for leveling a chair on an angled surface comprising:
- a body having a front, a back, a top, and a bottom, wherein the bottom is angled relative to the top;
- a first cavity that extends laterally in the top of the body and is open at both sides of the body;
- a second cavity in the top of the body having a dimension larger than the first cavity, the dimension extending perpendicular to the first cavity;
- a third cavity open towards the top and having a periphery smaller than the first cavity and the second cavity;
- and
- one or more telescopic supports movable between a first position wherein the height of the chair leveler is extended and a second position wherein the height of the chair leveler is retracted;
- wherein the first cavity, the second cavity, and the third cavity are axially aligned with respect to one another.

A method of leveling a chair on an angled surface with a chair leveler comprising:
- providing a body comprising a front, a back, a top having a first cavity, a second cavity, and a third cavity therein, and a bottom, wherein the bottom is angled relative to the top to cause the back to be shorter than the front;
- wherein the first cavity extends laterally across the top and is open at both sides of the body, the second cavity has a dimension larger than the first cavity, the dimension extending perpendicular to the first cavity, the third cavity open towards the top and has a periphery smaller than the first cavity and the second cavity;
- engaging the angled surface with the bottom;
- receiving a leg of the chair in the first cavity, the second cavity, or both based on a shape of the leg, wherein the first cavity and the second cavity are distinct in shape;
- and
- supporting the chair in a generally leveled position relative to the angled surface;
- wherein the first cavity, the second cavity, and the third cavity are axially aligned with respect to one another.
