Cut and glue on riser blocks. Paint and stain to match existing leg.
There are a few ways...remove the legs and install longer 2X2, add length to existing legs by using screws and the 2by 2 pieces . I’d do the former.
Use some risers. paint them the same color as your end table.
There are "bed" risers available that you could use. Or perhaps take a wood dowel with a larger diameter than the table legs. cut into 4 lengths that are longer than what you are wanting to raise the table. Drill holes in the top that are just big enough for the legs to fit into. Use wood glue inside the hole and finishing nails shot into the leg to hold the dowels in place. Finish the dowels to match your table.
Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy beveled 4" wooden fence post toppers. Sand then screw them into the existing legs of your table legs, then paint. These beveled chunky pieces look like carved wood after they are in place and painted. We used them to raise the height of a bathroom vanity and now it looks like a piece of furniture instead of a standard builder grade vanity.
