Does Your Table Rock?

One of my biggest pet peeves is a table that rocks back and forth. You know, like the ones they have at Starbucks. That is so irritating! But it just happened to be the only table available.... and for a good reason.

Well, there is a simple temporary fix. You can go get enough napkins and fold them over until they are thick enough to stuff under the table leg. I've done that. Or you can carry some small wooden shims in your purse or computer bag. One simple push and your table doesn't rock.

But speaking of rocking tables, these small round tables could be made slightly different and become more stable. Instead of four points of contact, they could have three points. There will be no rocking there. No rocking means less spilt coffee, which means fewer ruined computers. And, there will be more satisfied customers. I think that's what every business wants.
