How can I fix this uneven table?

Answered
My daughter and I found this table on the side of the road, for free. We brought it home discussing what I might do to it to make it more to our liking, but meanwhile decided to put it in the living room and use it as is, since my basement is still full of the dresser I've been working on. However, the metal legs are not quite even - you can see how far off it is by the shadow on the floor under the leg when my daughter pushes the other leg down. Does anyone have suggestions on how to even out the legs so that it doesn't wobble everytime someone touches it? I am wondering about putting a washer between the leg and the table frame where they connect, but not sure if I can or whether it will work.
