Leveling the Table

I recently had flooring replaced in my home and had a pool table mechanic disassemble then re-assemble the table. I did not check the level before he left and once I played on it I knew it was not level. Using a machinist level and 1-2-3 blocks placed on the table above the legs with a true piece of angle aluminum, I was able to determine that one leg needed a 0.27" spacer, the other leg on that short end needed 0.17", and the other leg on that long end needed 0.09". These seems like a lot and I worry that would twist the base. Did the mechanic do something wrong during assembly or is this a reasonable amount of spacing for the legs?

This is an Olhausen 3-piece slate table.

It might be better to ask in the "Ask a Mechanic" subforum. I am no mechanic, but....

I think that in general, the three slates will not be in the same plane. That has to be set/fixed during the recovering. That problem will not show up if you just measure level between the corners.

Has the new flooring had time to settle in?
