Put ball feet on it.
I love the idea of bun feet ( which I have only known them as ) but I think they might be the wrong proportion for this little side table, unless they make small size bun feet. Maybe small casters would work. Or you could build a "box" for the table to sit up on and then you could stain it to match. Which would also give you another level or shelf as it were, for magazines or paper back books or a small tray or ??? Sounds like a fun project. Hope this helps.
You can buy replacement legs to put on the bottom..... https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_6_26?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=replacement+furniture+legs+6+inch&sprefix=replacement+furniture+legs%2Caps%2C427&crid=262B85ZZYJHRT I have even gotten these legs at thrift stores in the hardware section.... I kinda hoard the mid-century ones.
Or you can build a small platform from wood to put under it, even add another drawer is your handy.
Look for "bed risers" and maybe you can find something you can paint to match your finish. Other option is to buy a piece of lumber and cut four pieces to put under each leg and stain to match.
Or you could raise the top. Attach the ball or bun feet or sections of thick dowel in the corners of the top and cover with a tray or glass. If you are worried about stability, glue or screw the new top to the new risers.
Due to the style, i think a three sided riser frame (both sides/across back), either stained to match or a coordinate color, may be your best bet. A three sided riser frame would leave the front open to showcase the arch. I agree that bun feet would not work with this style. Nor do I think hair pin styled metal legs would work. Take a photo and measurements to your home improvement store. If you are lucky, someone in the lumber dept/finished wood area may have an idea. Look at unfinished and finished pieces. You are only limited to your imagination depending upon how much work you want to do. Good luck.
Be sure and post pictures when you diy your bedside table, would love to see how you do it and how it turns out Karen.
Buy a new bed table or use a bed tray which would be about the right height and would not look contrived.
If you poor wheels on it with locks it will raise it up try to find high ones but not to high that they look ugly
This one is EASY - buy a set of bed frame risers.
Can you add 4"- 6" riser legs to the existing legs with screws, then cover the point where the two pieces attach with metal banding or leather?
