(i am DIY-stupid sorry) i bought this desk: https://www.aosom.co.uk/item/homcom-rectangle-desk-with-book-shelf-display-table-for-home-study-office-wood-grain~836-242WT.html and the legs are very wobbly, to the point it seems a little dangerous though the weight limit should be able to support everything on it. i thought some kind of bracket/wedge/thing/guy shoved into places would help a bit but i don’t want to try buying anything without first knowing i’m not just making things worse due to only barely knowing what a wrench is
would have attached a video but i don’t have a camera on me with a high enough framerate to be able to see how it wobbles
edit: i tried what the automoderator said and it still wobbles

Ha! I knew it! Time travel IS possible! OP invest all your money into Google. You’ll thank me later. Also, stock up on snacks, video games and toilet paper before March 2020.

There’d be less wobble if you didn’t have a 20lbs monitor sitting on it.

If holes in the wall and the bottom of the desk are both acceptable – Find a stud in the wall and attach the desk there with a right angle bracket.
