Tables not looking uniform on different screen size

Question

I have a text-filled table divided into 4 columns (as shown in the picture below) which displays all the sub-categories (level 2 and level 3 sub-categories). This table does not look uniform some columns appear longer than others) on different screen sizes (different laptop sizes) and on different devices even after i attempted to make it responsive using @media queries. Is there a way to deal with this, so that all the columns always look uniform?

I have used media

.tblcol {
  width: 22%;
  text-align: left;
  font-size: 11px;
  font-family: "Palatino Linotype";
}

.heading {
  background-color: #790102;
  color: #ffffff;
  padding: 2px;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

.slogan {
  color: #790102;
  letter-spacing: 8px;
  font-size: 18px
}

@media(max-width:1023px) {
  .categoryTable1 {
    width: 500px;
  }
}

@media(min-width:1024px) and (max-width:1010px) {
  .categoryTable1 {
    width: 680px;
  }
}

@media(min-width:1011px) and (max-width:1300px) {
  .categoryTable1 {
    width: 740px;
  }
}

@media(min-width:1224px) and (max-width:1400px) {
  .categoryTable1 {
    width: 850px;
  }
}

@media(min-width:1410px) {
  .categoryTable1 {
    width: 970px;
  }
}

<table class="categoryTable1">
  <tr>
    <td colspan="4">
      <p style="text-align:center" class="slogan"> 1500+ ITEMS * 45 PRODUCTS * 14 CATEGORIES </p>
    </td>
  </tr>

queries to update the table width to fit the size as required. But when the table width is reduced; the 4 columns are non-uniform: some much larger than the others

Now all the columns will look uniform. The HTML element defines a row of cells in a table. The row's cells can then be established using a mix of (data cell) and (header cell) elements. You could learn more about HTML tables using below link Click here
