  In my case the chair wobbles on 3 legs and I have to shim the 4th one.

    According to the other comments here you should just rotate it

  This reminds me about Numberphile has a video that proves you can get a 4 legged table to be stable with all 4 legs touching the ground by rotating it.

    Does it require any arbitrary constraints on the topography of the floor?

      Sorta. The function height(angle) needs to be continuous. From there it’s pretty clear why it works you know the mean value theorem.

      This can’t actually work if the floor is a level plane right?

      Yes, the floor has to be bigger than the chair.

  I only manage two but that’s how many legs I have in total so no change to be on more than two while doing anything else

  Impossible, guy would need a true level surface.

    Hold my beer. I can do it on any surface with just three legs.
