Event planning and event production are not for the faint of heart. You have to be incredibly detail-oriented to think through every aspect of the event flow, what attendees will need to feel comfortable and satiated, and what infrastructure is required. Everything from extension cords to dessert spoons is likely to end up on the list for an event planner or large event caterer, but we’re here to tell you today that there’s one item missing from your kit; Wobble Wedges!

Wobble Wedge plastic shims have endless uses in the event setting, from shimming large, hot platters of food on uneven banquet tables, to stabilizing the sweetheart table for a perfectionist bride and groom. Wobble Wedges are available in three different sizes and can be stacked to combine using patented interlocking ridges. Make every event perfect by adding a Wobble Wedge Variety Pack to your toolkit.

Wobble Wedges Shim Dining and Banquet Tables

Level any of your event tables with Wobble Wedge plastic shims. Many large scale events use rental services to provide the dining tables, banquet tables, bar tops, and more. This used equipment can get damaged over time and lean, rock, or wobble especially if the tables are placed on uneven surfaces like gravel, dirt, or pavers. Use one or multiple Wobble Wedges under a table leg to stabilize the table.

Shim and Stabilize Catering Trays and Dishes

Catered meals for large events can cost upwards of tens of thousands of dollars, so it’s incredibly important that every detail is perfect when it comes to presentation and serving. Use Wobble Wedge plastic shims to level and stabilize catering trays and serving dishes, even if they contain hot food. Flexible plastic Wobble Wedge shims can even be used to keep dishes from slipping, sliding, or shifting on slippery surfaces. The flexible plastic shim and patented ridges offer a rubbery grip for heavy dishes full of food.

Mini Wobble Wedges for Centerpieces and Displays

Event attendees will only notice the quality of the arrangement.

Add Wobble Wedge Variety Pack to Your Kit

We love old houses because of their character and charm, not because of their perfectly level flooring. If you live in an old home or a home that has incurred some type of environmental damage or shift, you may be struggling with uneven flooring in different parts of your house. Uneven flooring is particularly prevalent in basements, garages, and other workspaces with concrete or dirt floors. In spaces like kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms living with uneven flooring becomes a nuisance, causing furniture and appliances to rock and tilt. Wobble Wedge plastic shims can help stabilize furniture and appliances in residential and commercial spaces where uneven flooring is an issue.

Level Furniture on Uneven Hard Floors

If you have wooden floors that have become warped or another hard flooring material, use Flexible Plastic Wobble Wedge shims to stabilize your furniture. The flexible plastic and patented ridges will keep your furniture firmly in place. Stack multiple shims as needed to gain height. These shims work well for residential appliances on kitchen flooring, bookshelves on hardwood floors, cabinetry on tile flooring, and more.

Level Furniture on Soft Flooring

Wobble Wedge shims work for furniture on soft flooring materials, like carpets and rugs, as well. On soft flooring materials, use a Rigid Plastic Wobble Wedge to help stabilize and level furniture items like couches, coffee tables, bookshelves, and more. Using a Wobble Wedge shim under the legs of heavy furniture items will also help reduce impressions left on carpet and other soft flooring materials.

Wedges for Appliances on Unfinished Floors

If you have appliances going into an unfinished space like a basement or garage with unfinished floors, use BigGap Wobble Wedges to help elevate and level appliances off the ground. BigGap wedges can support up to 2,000 lbs and won’t shrink, rot, or swell if exposed to the elements like moisture. 

Small Wedges for Small Wobbles

For your tiniest wobbles, use a mini Wobble Wedge plastic shim to level and stabilize furniture or appliances. These are the smallest plastic wedges in the Wobble Wedge family, but they come in handy when other wedges are just too large. Mini Wobble Wedges are available in Rigid and Flexible plastic varieties, so apply the same rules described above—Flexible plastic on hard flooring materials and Rigid plastic on soft flooring materials.

Get started with a Variety Pack of Wobble Wedges to experiment with solving all of your uneven flooring discrepancies. A Variety Pack includes standard-sized wedges, BigGap shims, and Mini Wobble Wedges in Flexible and Rigid plastic.

Especially for decorators who take so much pride in their Christmas ornaments, it’s not worth risking the tree falling over for any unforeseen reason. By simply inserting a flexible plastic Wobble Wedge shim between the trunk of the tree (real or artificial) and the tree stand you can compensate for any gaps or leaning. Tighten the tree stand screws directly into the plastic Wobble Wedges to securely and firmly hold the tree in place. If the tree stand itself is sitting unevenly on the floor, use Wobble Wedges to shim and stabilize the feet of the tree stand.

Protect Fragile Antiques and Decorations

If you are the type of holiday enthusiast that covers the mantel and other display nooks with Christmas decorations you know that it’s an art form getting everything to sit perfectly in its place.

With big holiday meals right around the corner, everyone is thinking about how to make their kitchen absolutely perfect. Making sure that appliances are stable, cutting boards secure, and other safety matters are addressed is essential, especially before young children enter the kitchen. Wobble Wedge plastic shims have dozens of uses that you may have never considered before in the kitchen. Here is a round-up of some of our favorite ways to use Wobble Wedge plastic shims in the kitchen.

Wobble Wedge Shims Stabilize Large Appliances:

By far the most popular use for Wobble Wedge shims in the kitchen is to stabilize large appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers. Even with the adjustable feet, some of these larger appliances simply never sit flat on the kitchen floor. An unlevel refrigerator can cause the door to come swinging open, or swinging shut, at inopportune moments. Have you noticed your Jello never settles flat in the container? Perhaps your refrigerator is leaning.

To solve for an unlevel refrigerator, try BigGap Wobble Wedges or Standard Size Wobble Wedge shims. Press firmly against the front of the refrigerator to identify which of the feet is not sitting level on the floor, then slide an appropriately sized Wobble Wedge into the gap. These sturdy plastic wedges can support up to 2,000 lbs and will not rot or expand if exposed to moisture, making them ideal for large kitchen appliances.

Level or Stabilize Countertop Appliances:

Similarly, wiggling or wobbling countertop appliances can be a safety hazard for young family members. Once you have identified the wobble, use a Standard Size Wobble Wedge or Mini Wobble Wedge to fill the gap under the uneven appliance. These shims are perfect for toasters, toaster ovens, air fryers, crockpots, Instant pots, blenders, mixers, and more. This is especially helpful for crockpots brimming with liquid contents. One or two shims can level your crockpot and keep the contents from sloshing over the side as eager guests serve themselves scoops of soup or gravy.

Stabilize Cutting Boards:

Keep your cutting boards from sliding on the countertop by placing a flexible plastic Wobble Wedge at the edge of the cutting board. The flexible plastic and patented ridges help hold the board stable against the countertop. This is especially useful for cutting boards with rubber feet when one of the nubbins has gone missing. Insert a flexible plastic Wobble Wedge into the gap to secure and stabilize the cutting board. If you don’t want any of your guests to discover your secret, use a clear plastic Wobble Wedge.

Small Plastic Shims for Stabilizing Decorative Pumpkins and Gourds

Nothing says fall like a motif of pumpkins and other gourds on the steps leading up to your entryway, but pumpkins never have even bottoms, making precarious work out of assembling a perfectly aesthetic arrangement.

Use Wobble Wedges to Hold Exterior Mats in Place

Do your exterior entryway mats slide when it rains or snows? Wobble Wedge plastic shims possess a small hole in the top that allow them to be screwed down to surfaces with a standard size screw. Use two or more Wobble Wedges to batton the edges of your mat down to your porch to prevent any future slipping or sliding of the mat. This technique also works for holding down the edges of exterior decorative carpets and rugs. Keep the edges of an outdoor rug from curling up by tacking them down with color-matched Wobble Wedges available in white, black, and clear plastic.

Level Storage Shelves in Garages, Basements, and Tool Sheds

Storage shelves can get loaded with hundreds of pounds of gear, tools, and storage items. Don’t let your precious items rock on a precarious shelf. Ensure large and heavy storage shelves are perfectly level, prior to loading them with items, using Wobble Wedge plastic shims. BigGap Wobble Wedges offer a solution for large gaps caused by sloped or uneven concrete garage or basement floors.

Once the shelves are loaded and bearing weight again, Wobble Wedges will not slip or slide out of place.

Level Storage Bins for Stackability

Use Wobble Wedges to level all of your storage bins for the ultimate stackability and security of items. Plastic storage bins can become warped over time or misshapen due to their contents. Make sure that each layer of bins sits level so the next layer can stack on top with Wobble Wedge plastic shims. This is also a good solution when stacking bins of different sizes. Make sure smaller bins sit level on top of larger bins and that each layer can bear the weight of the next without damaging items in the containers.
