Abstract
A table stabilizing device is configured to remedy wobble of a tabletop on a table. These configurations may include a slider that attaches or secures to a table leg of the table. The slider may have wedge W that interposes between the table leg and the floor. An end user can move the slider to change the position of the wedge W relative to the table leg, thus raising or lowering the table leg to stabilize the table. On a pedestal table with multiple legs, this feature will distribute weight across the other table legs.

A method, comprising:
- attaching a moveable wedge to a table leg so as to allow the moveable wedge to translate on a surface between a first position and a second position to raise and lower a loading bearing point on the table leg relative to the surface;
- and
- using magnets to generate a force on the moveable wedge to prevent the moveable wedge from moving from the first position or the second position in response to load on the moveable wedge at the load bearing point.
A method, comprising:

- locating the moveable wedge on an end of a slider having a pair of pivot points so as to maintain the moveable wedge on the surface;
- and
- generating a force on the moveable wedge to prevent the moveable wedge from moving from the first position or the second position in response to load on the moveable wedge at the load bearing point.
