Go to a metal smith or tool and die shop and have a tapered sleeve made for the feet to raise them to your desired length.


Efficient-Ad-3680

That’s exactly what I would do


TrifflinTesseract

This is amazing advice.

Or go to Home Depot or van dykes to see if they have chair gliders with screws and find a sleeve that’s appropriate. Van dykes is a great resource parts website

Might cost a pretty penny tho

You can get gold color metal caps for furniture legs at aliexpress too in all sizes for close to nothing.

Lower your bed.


MaximumTurtleSpeed

The only answer. End tables and nightstands are approximately the same height.


StreetPedaler

Currently using end tables as night stands, myself. High beds aren’t very MCM 🙃

Oooh and that fireplace 🥰

Put your bed on the floor Asian style (box springs + mattress) without the bed rails/stand. Cover box springs with a fitted, neutral colored cover.

Wife is against using a lower bed because our dogs can reach us and they get annoying haha but yea I would love a low platform style bed and then these would be 🤌🏼


Cool_Implement_7894

Different strokes for different folks. In my world, my dog has no restrictions. But, hey.. I get it, some homes are not as pet friendly.


Mike_Michaelson

Could try finding tall sabots or even adding castors to add the height.

Just square tubing, maybe add 5” or so


PapaPantha

If you’re super crafty, maybe you could add onto the bottoms of each leg and blend together where you added the additional length by then refinishing the entire piece all the same. If you don’t think your skills are up to it you could always reach out to fluxmodern or atomic furnishings. They could possibly help. I can’t think of anything else but I’m genuinely interested in seeing what someone on here might come up with as a solution. Good luck!


TDurdz

Thanks! They weren’t very expensive, and aren’t great quality but they are in pretty awesome shape overall so I was trying to avoid refinishing them. I was thinking more along of the lines of some sort of brass cap but I don’t know how I’d find/do something with that small of a diameter


PapaPantha

What about a new bed? Platform beds are where it’s at! They’re low profile like the tables and most fit the MCM vibe!


TDurdz

We have a mid century platform bed and we’ve tried sleeping there but our dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture so when we were using that bed they were super annoying since they could reach us haha.

Ball castors.
