Return to sender, not fit for purpose.

I agree, return it as unfit for use, and make the store aware you will contact Trading Standards if they do not take it back and refund the cost.

did you go to the shop, see it and buy it, or order online?

if online, Distance Selling Regulations apply.

Did you pay on a credit card?

Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act may apply.

OP, to be serious, when tables with a base much smaller than the top are installed in a bar, club or restaurant they invariably have a heavily weighted base in something like cast iron or thick steel plate, or they are bolted down to the floor to prevent tipping. Any table that kids or unsteady adults (elderly, disabled or drunk!) can tip over too easily is hazardous and should not be offered for sale. Should the vendor refuse to take it back you have recourse to the distance selling regulations which your local consumer services department in your council will either advise you on or may even take up the case on your behalf
