About Wobbleg

Wobbleg is a very simple and ingeneous invention to stop wobbling tables and chairs from wobbling. Placing Wobbleg under the wobbly leg and then turning the device stops the wobble instantly as the thickness of the device matches the gap between the leg and floor.

Wobbly tables in restaurants is a major problem and has been highlighted in a survey completed by The Mystery Dining Company.
"Wobbly tables will have to go but young children can stay, according to a recent survey of over 500 experienced diners conducted by the Mystery Dining Company. Asked what they would like see banned next in restaurants after smoking is outlawed on July 1st, a whopping 89% called for the abolition of wobbly tables while only 13% thought that children under 12 should be shown the door."

The invention came as a flash of inspiration from a wobbly table and the need for a more professional solution than sticking a beer mat under the offending leg.

The invention can also be used by businesses such as a restaurant, bar or cafe who may want to use them for promotional reasons by branding them. Drinks companies may want to brand the invention and use them as give-aways to promote a new product.

There have been other inventions which have tried to make tables and chairs stable but they are far more complicated, and therefore more expensive, than Wobbleg. With some, you may have to fiddle with different thicknesses until you find the right thickness using trial and error. Some may rely on springs to level the table. Some may have to be fixed to the table and so can not be easily used on another piece of furniture. Wobbleg solves all of these problems.

Along with solving the problem of wobbly furniture, this invention has the added advantage of stoping furniture from 'creeping'. Do you have a sofa on a laminate floor which slowly 'creeps' across the floor ? Placing the rubber Wobbleg under each foot will increase the friction between the furniture and floor to help stop the creeping.

"Although this survey is a pretty light-hearted exercise, we think it's important to find out what people like and don't like. After all, our company exists to provide feedback to restaurateurs so that they can better cater for their customers."
