I would do a wall hung nightstand instead. they make nice ones with drawers.

Thanks for the suggestion. We considered it but it won’t work in this room.. And I want to use the piece I already have.

I should have mentioned that in my original post. I KNEW someone would suggest a wall hung unit or a shelf!.

I’ve not searched but have seen in past different types of low platforms on casters. Think planter dollies but either nicer or more hidden metal types. Depending on size of your nightstand, or if it is designed so casters can be attached. There are also various types of wheels that attach with adhesives, but not sure if heavy- duty enough. So may depend on whether you know someone who could adapt the furniture for you or you are searching amongst the products that don’t require additional skills.

I'm pretty sure IKEA sells casters for their office drawer units. I'd imagine they'd work well for your nightstand. Just test them out to see if you need locks. My guess is no.

Lowes has locking casters. I think these would be perfect for your needs.

Do these look like a good option? They don’t have Lowes in my country.

What are the legs like on your table? Casters that screw on require a pretty big leg. The one I showed has a post, so you just need to drill one hole in the middle of each leg.

I think this might work for you:

It doesn’t really have legs. I found this reddit post by someone who attched casters to their nightstand that is just like mne but for the color. It shows the bottom. do you think the casters they used are a good choice? I like the lower one inch profile. do i need a drill?

Ah, that's different.

Put these felt protectors all along the bottom. Your table will slide easily, but not scratch your floors.

Oh, much easier, too!

Did you intend to include a link to the felt protectors you ’re thinking of?

I have the same situation - drawers in my bed and a nightstand with casters. My nightstand, however, is made of hardwood. The Reddit photo shows something made from particle board. I don’t think that will hold casters on a permanent basis. I think the idea of using felt is a good one, especially if you won’t often need to access that drawer. They sell strips of felt at most hardware stores. It has an adhesive side to stick onto furniture. This is one sold by Amazon, but your local hardware store probably has it too: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R783WWQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2Z06J9UY3LQL1&psc=1

The words "these felt protectors" are green - that's the link.

Yes you'd need a drill to install those . I wouldn't attach those to the bottom of the Ikea pieces.

They're essentially attached to pressed wood. I would use the felt or plastic furniture sliders.

I'm so very glad it worked out for you! Thank you for the update.
