Question about that weird desk wobble I fixed with a $2 furniture shim

I was at my buddy's place last weekend and noticed his whole desk was ROCK SOLID. Asked him how he did it and he pointed to these little plastic shims under one leg. Said he bought a pack for like $2 at the hardware store. I went home and tried it on my own desk that's been wobbling for like 8 months. Took maybe 5 minutes and now it's perfect. Why did I spend so long dealing with that annoying shake? Has anyone else found a super cheap fix like this that made a big difference?

Argue the opposite? Those shims will shift eventually and you'll be back to wobbling in no time.

Paid $2 to fix 8 months of rage.
