Hello Lion,a couple of questions, did you apply glue to the joints? or is it bolted/screwed together. and when you say it wobbles is that overall or just on the legs. If you can dis assemble and re make and use a rachet strap to pull up all the joints before fixing together. Alternatively use the rachet strap to tighten the joints and if you can fit additional brackets under the top. Hope this helps you get to fix it.

Hi, I think it would be better to return it to Ikea and get an exchange. Its possible the wood has either dried out and warped. If you have bought it new from Ikea they are obliged to exchange any faulty item within a set period. Hope this helps. Tom
