How to Use HandiShims
to Fix Wobbly Tables & Chairs
Stop stuffing napkins under a wobbly table leg. HandiShims provide a professional, permanent, and durable solution for leveling furniture in restaurants, offices, or anywhere with uneven floors.
Unlike folded cardboard or wood wedges that compress, slide out, or fall apart, HandiShims are made of a high-density plastic that won't rot or break down, even in high-traffic areas or during mopping. They provide a solid, stable, and non-compressible surface for a reliable, long-lasting fix.
Use HandiShims for:
- Fixing Wobbly Restaurant Tables: Instantly stabilize a wobbly table to improve customer experience.
- Leveling Chairs & Barstools: Ensure chairs and stools are stable and safe on any flooring, from tile to hardwood.
- Stabilizing Bookcases & Cabinets: Secure heavy furniture on uneven floors to prevent tipping.
How to Use:
- Identify the Wobble: Have someone press down on the table or sit in the chair to easily find the gap under the short leg.
- Select & Insert: Slide one or more HandiShims under the leg until the furniture is stable and level.
- Stack for Precision: You can stack multiple shims to get the exact thickness you need. Use a 1/32” (Green) for a minor wobble or combine a 1/16” (Red) and 1/8” (White) for larger gaps.
- Trim for a Clean Look (Optional): HandiShims are scored for effortless splitting. Once the table is level, you can easily snap off the excess part of the shim so it remains completely hidden under the leg.
- Leave in Place: The shim's durable plastic and non-compressive strength mean it will stay in place and keep the furniture level permanently.
