    The problem I have with these legs is that, when tightening them the height would change a small amount which was different for each leg. I would pull out the legs to the exact same length and after tightening they would all have slightly different heights. 😂 It took a while of adjusting the legs over and over but now I have a somewhat level table.

    that's the problem.. it is so cheaply made.. you have to guess how much it got shorten while you turn.. what a trash. I wanted just a sold leg but the cheaper model was sold out until december in Frisco, TX. so I was forced to buy this 'adjustable legs'...

    Exacly, If something is too cheap compared to other options there is always a problem. Because of these stupid micro changes when you turn it is almost impossible to get it leveled.
