Grandby dinette table stabilization

[ottorogers]

Anybody have ideas on how to stabilize the dinette table? It’s wobbly and bouncy, we can live with it, but a easy fix to make it a bit more stable would be welcome

Never been a problem for us, can't put weight on it. You have to play with the knobs. Someone posted a mod here or on Facebook with a leg they made. Our dog bed is there so that wouldn't work for us.

Is it a front dinette? If so, the design of the table mount will always have some spring in it, like a diving board. We had a problem with ours because it kept slipping down as it was swung side to side. I kept tightening the knob to keep it at the height we wanted, but eventually I tightened it too much and did damage to the tubing, ending up with us having to get a new one on the warranty. When I got the new one, I went to Ace Hardware and bought two washers, one stainless steel one nylon, that fit the 1-1/2" tubing. I also bought a hose clamp that fit.

I installed the hose clamp, the stainless steel washer, and then the nylon washer on the down tube so that the nylon washer was making contact with the black plastic of the table mount. I tightened the hose clamp around the down tube at the height we desired to have the table. Now we don't need to tighten the black knob and the table swings side to side but does not lose elevation.

I use a folding adjustable table leg. This one is made by Johnson Hardware.

Where did you buy this?

I don't remember, it's been a while. There are some on eBay, search for: self storing folding table leg.
