Saw one of these at the Big Box and wondered if it lived up to the packagings claims. Excellent review. Saw one of these at the Big Box and wondered if it lived up to the packagings claims.

Some of the other reviews we saw on the web mentioned that one of the feet adjusts to help level the table, but ours didn't seem to want to move. We think they're talking about the red part of the feel (visibile in one of the photos in the post above). They do rotate a little bit around their center mounts. FWIW, it was pretty stable on our slightly-sloped shop floor, and we had pretty good luck with it in the yard -- a good test considering that that's where it might end up with building contractors using it. However, we'd be a little concerned about using it on a really unstable surface like big cobblestone or the like. PaulS: That’s a great question.

Is there any kind of leveling adjustment built into the feet? This product looks like it will work okay on a solid level surface but what if the surface is sloped or uneven?

Now I might just have to get them anyway. Nice review. I had to laugh when I read your testing technique, you really are hurting for some of those 'Doh!' entries.
