Table nest wobbles

I recently purchased a table nest for my LBGE.

When I put the nest together, it was clear that it was somewhat unstable. I figured once it had the weight of the egg on it everything would be fine.

I then put the egg in it in my table, and it still wobbled. I thought, maybe after a week or two it would settle in.

It still hasn't settled in and is slightly unstable.

 

Any ideas? I didn't save the receipt, but I did purchase from an ACE Hardware (certified dealer).

    You could put some felt pads under the feet that are off until it is level.

    I'd see about returning first, if able.

    Loosen some of the nuts and bolts and try to make the play work for you.  Get it right then tighten them up again.

    Are the arms laying the wrong way? Maybe the wrong one is on top??

    There is only one bolt and nut to hold it together, one leg has an indentation for the other. There is really no adjustment or any way it could be put together incorrectly.

    Yep only one way to assemble it. Return it and get a new one.

    I've seen one of those tables nests under someone's Egg and noticed the same thing.....the Egg actually rocked backward slightly when you opened the lid.  I prefer a paver (much more stable) and add feet or something similar if you feel you need an air gap.  Cheaper option too.

    We put a thin washer under the gap between the egg and the nest. Most all of them wobble a bit.

    I figured it would be easier to shim it rather than take it out and replace it.
