How do I raise this?
#25
The risers from Bed Bath & beyond are a very good idea; If that doesn't give you the hieght you need, try the PVC pipe... but you need to make 'feet' for the end you want to raise;
use an 'x' connector, 4) 90* elbows,; 'x' connector in the midle, four lengths of pvc come out from the center to the 90* elbow; just wide enough to support the table assembly, then additional pvc from the elbow to the floor to get the height you want. Or ,just add a 'cheater ' strip between the leg assembly , and the top, screw the 'cheater' to the underside of the top. then screw the leg assembly to the cheater.

My DF made risers for our cutting tables out of 2x4 scraps. He has now had to make them for 3 different tables! They work great. I call them the table stilts. There is a slot at the top which fits around the foot of the table leg. It would be more work for your table since you have 4 separate legs but the table is very stable and I can take it down to normal height very easily. I use a folding banquet table from Costco.

If you are going to leave it up all the time, I would think that wooden blocks with a hole drilled large enough for the square legs to fit in would work for the fold out legs. The main frame leg ends in a piece that lays flat; you could strap that to the wood with conduit clamps or the metal "plumbers tape" that looks llike a strip of hole reinforcers. Just some suggestions.
I truly do love my table though. It is so nice not having to put my stuff away every time we need to eat! And I can pull it out and move it around if I need to.
