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.

The mechanic didn't level the table. You level the table between the bottom of the legs to the floor, since the floor is the variable, not the build of the table.
