Haha, so funny, bockety is in none of my dictionaries. Looks like there's room for one I don't know yet. What have you found?

It seems to be an Irish term for something unstable, wobbly, physically unsteady.
@deirdyweirdy referred to this bockety little table, so there you have an example 😄
I didn't make it up...honest injun!
Bockety
That's actually a dictionary I have not considered. Thanks for sharing. This word definitely needs a place in https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=bockety
And @paradigmprospect's table (hello!), that is not a table but soon a walking cupboard (only one step beyond) is probably only asking for a cup for making it's first step. ;-) (Why didn't you cross-bond the bamboo? How wonderful to see such building material growing in the garden.)

If he can make a walking cupboard, he'll make millions. Imagine, no more going to the cupboard, the cupboard would come to us:) By the way, here in Ireland we call a cupboard a press!
Oh yes, if the table made more then only one step, it would be a thing. :-) I haven't heard that press can be a shelf or table either. A hint I found is in https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=press

This from Wikipedia highlighted in yellow.
We'd say 'Put it in the press' instead of 'Put it in the cupboard'.
That's a good one, thanks! A pity that there's no details on "an old word".
