[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 348495, member: 1136"][ATTACH=full]117795[/ATTACH] I have a antique farm table with tapered legs that I currently have in my dining room. Im looking to redecorate and want to sell it. Someone added some decorative wooden cut outs to the bottom to stop it from becoming a knee knocker. Ive hated them from the beginning and never knew how to replace them; then it dawned on me to add casters. The table is from probably the early 1900s, 4 legs, 7 ft long. Its not super heavy, but its not light either. Once I remove the footing pieces on the legs Ill need to add back about 2". They are not meant to be functional, just decorative (and to add height). Theyll need to mesh with the style of table so Im avoiding plastic. Ive looked at casters till Im blue in the face wondering what size/style Ill need that wont break under the weight (or split the legs). Steel, wood, porcelain.. :confused: :wacky: What do yall suggest using?[/QUOTE]
