MFT supports

[lambeater]

I just purchased the MFT table and found it a bit wobbly so also purchased the support legs. My question is do people only buy 1 set of supports for the front or a set for the rear as well.
thx

I would guess that one set would be sufficient.

Additionally, you can stabilise the table further by pushing the feet apart slightly to introduce a bit of stress. That way there's no movement in the hinge mechanism.

I didn't find my MFT3 to be wobbly and had no plans on buying the supports. Then I tried the MFT in Lebanon with the supports, saw the difference and ordered them. I only have one set on mine and they make a huge difference. I guess you could buy a second set. Probably overkill but might make a difference. I haven't found the need to order a 2nd pair.

I also installed the supports.  I must admit that I've been disappointed.  The supports do stiffen up the table, but I've found that the plastic "plug" or insert to be a bit fragile.  Mine broke almost immediately.  Now, I do set up and take down my table almost daily, and I do USE the table, but I don't believe that I'm overly rough on my equipment.

I've always thought the supports should be (1) incorporated into the table design as an original part, and (2) be designed to be more robust.  The supports seem to me to be an after thought.
