It does depend greatly on how large a system (tank/stand) you are planning on putting on those feet. I would be very concerned about supporting a heavy (ish) tank/stand on the threads of those feet. They could possibly warp and possible sheer over time and cause unevenness ? Furthermore, if the feet are extended I would not think that your tank/stand would be very stable on those 4 thin(ish) bolts.

As the others stated, it will depend on the size of tank... Most stands like mine are flat bottomed steal, and if you are not level, well then you have to make some shimmies.

I was lucky, I guess the home builders were not drunks as my second level is quite level and I didn't have to level my tank at all.
