two possible ways:
- if the difference is 1/4", then put a 1/4" thick x 4" wide piece of wood all the way across the stand of the lower side at the bottom. You can get these in or near the moulding section or the primed pine wood area at HD.
- temporary nail a fence up around the top of the stand all the way around and pour in self-leveling compound. that stuff is suppose to be pretty good with the leveling and very strong because its made to be thin

Is it the floor or the stand that is uneven? If its the floor, I think it would be easiest to use shims to level the stand. You can get large size shims, 5 to 6 inches wide. They go from 1/8" at one end up to 3/8", they all vary.
