I repurposed something similar and put large 4-6 inch retro industrial wheels on it. Looked great, plus is could move it if necessary

Looks like a fun piece! If you're planning to remove the 4" feet, maybe build a platform that can be stained to match. It could be just enough larger to give it a balanced look. Then trimmed out with baseboard, etc.

I like the look of the open bottom, but it does create a space for tons of dust bunnies and crumbs to hide.

Are you sure you want to raise it? If you're a woman of average height, one slightly lower surface in the kitchen can be hugely useful. A great place for mixing stiff batters, kneading, rolling things out ...

Do you plan on topping it with marble or granite? Or even butcher block? That could add an inch (or two) of height if you build it up before installing it with a lip. Love the idea of wheels, too.

Agree on the casters - get really good ones so they can take the weight

I’d look on Etsy and see if someone can make you an extra little piece to match.

You can add a countertop to make it a bit higher, and add wood trim to hide the worn edges. The new top can be the same material as your other kitchen counters or it could be another material….granite, Corian, or wood chopping-block.

Thx everyone! I’m going to research wheels as I had not initially thought of it. It’s currently 30in high. I’m 5’3” but it’s still a bit low even for me. Yes, we were planning on using some of the rest of our stone slab for the top. I didn’t consider it a tipping issue, guess I need to think about this a lot more.

Hi again I got my wheels at Amazon

Maybe add another shelf on the bottom and then some feet below that
