Ok so I bought a table off ebay. Well, two tables actually one coffee table and on console table.
'Urban, recycled' look was advertised. How could I have known that this meant 'Constructed with absolutely no skill so as to be incapable of create a straight, true table that doesn't wobble necessitating the purchase of legs of different heights to address that problem'.
So what can I do with it so that I can reconstruct it (I've just taken it apart) and need to make it so that it can have the hairpin legs attached and it not wobble as I am at risk of spilling my wine (which is not acceptable).
Would ply be strong enough if I placed the sections of wood on top of that, would that be enough to render it level/true??
What can I do?
The wobbling is a nightmare. I tried to pack the legs underneath but the tables are so out of whack that they needed so much packing it's completely visible and looks appalling.
This is v v similar: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Industria...yle-hairpin-/122293200211?hash=item1c793e2553
although on mine it's not two pieces of wood, for the console table it's 3, for the coffee table it's 4.
Ideas on how to reconstruct the coffee table that I've taken apart, so I can actually use it?!?
