Troubleshooting

Table wobbles slightly

Ensure the table is placed on a level surface. Minor variations in wood can sometimes cause slight instability; check if all legs are making firm contact with the ground.

This may indicate excessive exposure to dry conditions or direct sunlight. Move the table to a more protected area and apply a wood conditioner or re-apply a compatible water-based lacquer.
