Wobbly Dinette table

Kaadk, if you could take a clearer picture with the table on it's side, I'd appreciate it.

Unfortunately I don’t have that trailer anymore. Sold it last spring. Scanning through my photos, here’s what I do have:

Well JayArras that would be because I wasn't replying to you but to the OP who specifically stated he had the pole style (and I quoted him).

My apologies.

@Wolfpup64: I have the "post" style table legs which fit into a round base secured to the floor and to the bottom of the table. I have had my TT just shy of three (3) years and have had to replace the metal bases three (3) times already. My original bases were cast aluminum and so were the replacements. The table is very wobbly when placed into position and having three (3) g'son's leaning on the table has not helped for sure. The bottom side of these castings is hollow which leaves a very thin area where the legs fit into the base and they break in this area. One thing I have considered is buying/installing a single folding table leg on the bottom of the back side of the table that would reach from the table bottom to the floor. This would prevent the table from rocking back towards the dinette seat when the kids lean on it. I'd like to see the plastic base units, I'm wondering if they might be a bit stronger than the thin cast aluminum units.

An alternate, though expensive, would be a single, telescopic base post from a marine store. We have the same base as Kaadk and it is a bit wobbly but not terrible, so we just live with it.
