I think if you measure, you will discover it's a 4 1/2" lift. LOL

What happens when you want to roll it someplace?

Shoot, take the casters off and put some legs on it.

Or set it on some cinderblocks with the wheels in the holes if that is more Patman style, lol.

yah i used 3" screws and it only went through 2 layers, so yah 4.5" is pretty close, plus i dished them out to keep the casters from free rolling off the block of wood, so take another 1/8" off of that too

take it back off and roll it, it took about 2 minutes to place them using a floor jack, so even less take down time
