[Closed] Why are tables in cafes and restaurants so often wobbly?

Agree @tjagain but why do manufacturers even make tables with those crappy little feet that always fall off?

Café tables wobble because nobody cares enough to stop them wobbling.

This is the answer. The people affected by it aren't the people who can do anything about it. Which is sadly very common

Four-legged tables are pretty good, but three-legged tables rock!

Can't believe I delivered this joke the wrong way round 🤦‍♂️ Still, it's probably funnier that way.

Tables for cafes and restaurants are not bought by the user. Same for any commercial supplier.

the manafacturer, ultimately, doenst give a toss whether the product is any good. The buyer isnt using them. They are bought a price point and built at a lower price point, and designed for less again. They need to look ok in a catalogue or with a quick glance over.
A lot of relatively expensive shiney stainless steel thrown together in the hundreds by the cheapest monkey who could drive a welder they could find.

Also, the user is GOING to break them, so why spend any more on a quality product?

Semi disposable.

Its like Vans getting crap paint jobs. theyre going on a fleet, the fleet manager isnt paid enough to care, the users are going to trash them anyway.

Drive down the bottom line.

They're not wobbly they're too stiff, which stops the table being able to bend enough that all 4 legs can make contact with the floor.

Wobbly tables can be fixed with maths.

Wow. I learnt something new today. Cheers <clinks beer glass>.
