Makes sense (in theory!). Good idea! Would need a screw in each of two adjacent legs to cover all situations. (They can’t make a leg shorter, so it’s not like the usual screw levelers where only one is needed.) But I’d be concerned about scratched wooden floors. And carpets tend to self-level the table anyway, so unnecessary there. Hey, how about a nylon screw (inserted after pre-threading with a steel screw)? Could work, I think.
Thanks,
Rob

PSA memory foam leveling tape. Uh oh, sounds like you have an invention! Maybe it exists in some form now. Good idea.

It would be nice if there was some sort of self adjustable pads that one could stick under the legs and they would “feel” the pressure difference and self adjust accordingly. Kind of like what memory foam does.
