Good Questions: End Table with Castors?

9-22-good-q-1.jpg
Dear AT DC,
I'm looking for a table that I can use as an end table and laptop desk. It would be great if it had wheels so that I can easily move it around my place. Any ideas? I love the look of Gus Modern's Bishop Table but it doesn't have wheels. Thank you!

Dear Reader,
Ikea's Anes bedside table ($49) comes with castors and may be a good option. More below the jump...

The CB2 peekaboo clear c table ($179) has wheels. We've also seen CB2's runway table with wheels ($99.95).
Readers: do have any experience with these rolling end tables? Do you have any other table recommendations?

Buy the table you like and attach the wheels -- grainger.com or other hardware stores sell them & I am sure you can find something to suit your application. I did this with a "Metro" shelf from Container Store to convert to a printer cart as well as my BBQ grill (to roll in & out of the garage easily) and it works great.

If the table is light enough, you don't really need casters.

You don't want casters - otherwise, you'll start typing away and watch the table rolling away from you.

Don't put castors on that. Used Felt or plastic sliders.

I have 2 runway tables from cb2 used as matching bedside tables in the guest room. They're nice, sturdy.

I've always coveted this acrylic table from cb2... could be perfect.

Maybe the B2C Comet table from EQ3:

I second @Comicgeek; felt sliders will be easier on your floors, and leave your table more attractive to boot!
