A device adapted to stabilize an article of furniture on a support surface is formed as a wedge-shaped main body having upper and lower surfaces diverging from a common vertex to an end surface. A plurality of transverse rib teeth are on at least one of, but preferably both of, the upper and lower surfaces so that a plurality of devices may be stacked with the teeth preventing longitudinal slippage. The construction material is stiff, yet flexible and resilient, to help stabilize the article of furniture, and may be an anti-skid material. A cavity may be provided to enhance selected flexing, and ridges may be provided to prevent lateral slippage. The upper and lower surfaces have a common radius of curvature and may be planar or, respectively, convex and concave. The upper and lower surfaces may come together at a point, a line or a blunt nose to define the vertex. A bore may be formed through the body member for mounting and carriage.

A device adapted for insertion between a support surface and the lower support structure of an article of furniture placed thereon in order to help stabilize the article of furniture, comprising a body member formed of a relatively stiff, yet flexible material in a shape having an upper surface and a lower surface which have a common vertex and which diverge from one another to define a wedge-shaped configuration, said body member having a plurality of rib-like first teeth located on said upper surface and a cavity formed in the lower surface, said teeth oriented transversely to the direction of divergence of said upper and lower surfaces whereby said lower surface may be placed on said support surface with the common vertex defining an initial attack portion for insertion between the support surface and the article of furniture whereby said body member may be advanced until said upper surface contacts and supports the lower support structure to stabilize the article of furniture whereby said body member flexes under the weight of the article of furniture and in response to jarring forces impacting the article of furniture to further stabilize said article.
