How can i fix my wobbly table?

Home Improvement Asked by Owie D on June 20, 2021

I have finally entered the world of DIY and built a desk based on the design of a coffee table we bought. Unfortunately it wobbles from front to back as you are sitting at it to the extent I can’t really work at it and am concerned I’ll weaken it further. Think the issue is where the top of the legs are screwed horizontally into a horizontal piece that sits beneath and across the top boards and is screwed vertically up into these (I.e. the legs are not directly attached to the top boards). Would a diagonal support at each corner from the leg into the cross board help do you Think? Any suggestions much appreciated!!

Yes, put some panels or diagonal bracing behind those end shelves.

eg: bottom of left rear leg to top of left front leg, and the same on the right.

Install some desk levelers on the legs similar to the ones shown below. (The picture is from Amazon and I have no business interest in them).
