Discovered a cheap way to level a wobbly patio table without shims

My backyard table in Phoenix has been wobbling for months every time we put drinks on it. I tried using folded cardboard and plastic shims but they always slid out after a rain. Has anyone else tried epoxy putty to make permanent leveling feet on table legs?

Totally random but @linda_dixon49, I used a cut-up flip flop once for the same thing.

Did you try going to a hardware store and getting some rubber stoppers with adhesive backing? I had the same problem with my poolside table and the stoppers have held up through monsoon season and everything. Way easier than messing with putty if you want something you can adjust later.

The rubber stoppers on Amazon are cheap and haven't budged on my table through two Arizona summers.
