my grandfather was a custom cabinet builder, and for whatever reason 4 legged tables were his absolute nemesis. i have the last remaining 3 legged table of his. it's a round table, so i thought the 3 legs were a design choice. that notion was corrected when my dad started laughing at remembering his dad's sheer frustration when he realized 3 of 4 table legs were the same length...on multiple occasions.

Even if a four legged table's legs are all perfectly equal so their tips lie in the same plane, that perfectly will be thwarted by an uneven floor.

Unless you're able to rotate it: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-...

Wish I'd be able to rotate my floor instead.

Surely you only need two, as you could use two diagonal legs.

Let's see if the name "two-legged table" takes off.

You only need 1 center leg.
