There'll be a point of rotation the legs are equidistant from for any _symmetrical_ trapezoidal arrangement of legs - it just might not be under the table. After all, a demilune table is a circular segment!

Of course, as most demilune tables are put against walls, rotating them into the wall is probably a better idea in theory than in practice.

Depending on how the wall and floor are framed, there might not even be a well-defined "floor" if you try. Or the floor may not have a smooth curve.

Also: is there a word or phrase for the situation of getting 2 informative answers to a question and being even more confused than when you asked? Because I'm there thanks to you and dzdt.
