Illustration: In a small family dining room, an older man sits with arms tightly folded beside a visibly wobbling low table. Tea has sloshed into a saucer because one table leg is too short. His adult daughter kneels nearby, offering a neatly fitted wooden shim and pointing directly to the gap beneath the leg.
