Is this safe....?

I often put tables into my enclosures to give them something to sit atop and to sit under, but I always saw the legs down so that they're no more than 18" high.

I always staple carpet to the top too to give them something to grip onto. The one you've pictured looks very shiny and slippy, and there is a huge risk of leg injury.

My tables are the kiddie ones from Ikea and are untreated wooden ones - don't know if they still sell them though.

Plywood will give a bit more traction, but after a little use will get shiny and slippy. What about putting a cheap 99p floor mat on top of the ply so it gives them some grip?

Yeah that's fine and you can use carpet tiles on top as long as they have good grip so they don't slide off easily!

I agree with the suggestions of putting something on top, then it will be fine. :thumb:

I have this on my little table to give them grip. I find it's quite secure as it's got a slightly rubbery back.

I have something similarl in my Wendy house to make a shelf so Strawbs can see out the window. He had a carpet tile nailed on the top so he doesn't slip when jumping but he ate it.
