FAQs

What material are these shims made of?

They are made of environmentally friendly, waterproof, and odorless PVC.

How thick can these shims get when stacked?

Each shim ranges from 5/64" (2mm) to 13/64" (5mm). You can stack them to achieve a greater thickness, but the exact maximum depends on how many you stack and their interlocking stability.

Will these shims damage my floors?

No, they are made from soft PVC designed to protect floors from scratches.

Can I cut these shims to size?

Yes, the PVC material is flexible enough to be trimmed with scissors if a more precise fit is required.

What types of furniture can I use these shims with?

They are suitable for leveling various furniture including bookcases, windows, plumbing fixtures, door stops, cabinets, toilets, playhouses, tables, kitchen furniture, and bedroom furniture.

Are these shims suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are waterproof and durable, making them suitable for some outdoor applications like leveling patio furniture or playhouses.

How many shims are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 8 clear table shims.

Troubleshooting

Shim slips out from under furniture.

Ensure the furniture leg or base is clean and dry. Use the non-slip textured side downwards. For very slick surfaces, consider stacking two shims for a tighter fit.

Shim does not provide enough height adjustment.

Stack multiple shims together. If a significant height is needed, consider larger or specialized leveling solutions, or combine shims with wood blocks for substantial lifts.

Shim breaks under weight.

These shims are designed for typical household furniture. For extremely heavy items, ensure the weight is distributed evenly and consider more robust leveling materials. Verify the item is not exceeding the weight capacity implied for furniture stabilization.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively stabilizes wobbly furniture and fixtures.
  • Durable and waterproof PVC construction.
  • Protects flooring from scratches.
  • Versatile for a wide range of household items.
  • Can be stacked for greater adjustment.
  • Environmentally friendly material.

Cons

  • Clear color may be visually noticeable on some furniture.

  • Limited thickness range for very large leveling needs.
  • Small size might be easily misplaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply slide the shim under the uneven leg or base of the furniture. For larger gaps, stack multiple shims, ensuring they are interlocked securely by their threaded design. Trim with scissors if a custom fit is needed, though their flexible nature often allows them to conform.

Compatibility: These shims are compatible with most types of furniture and fixtures, including wood, metal, and plastic. They are suitable for use on various flooring types like hardwood, tile, laminate, and carpet.

Care: Clean the shims with a damp cloth and mild soap if they become dirty. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting. The waterproof nature of the PVC makes cleaning straightforward.
