I just received the coffee table (wooden )which is 80 pound heavy. It is very difficult to move around and I will be shifting soon in new apartment. Is there anyway of putting wheel in it so that I can move it around easily?Appreciate if anyone can give me some suggestion.

Go to the hardware store and buy some casters :)

Or even better, some of those low-friction gliders.

If the legs are thick enough you can add casters fairly easily by drilling and installing sockets and stem casters.Make sure what you buy is rated for enough weight to support the table.

Slides are an alternative if the legs are not thick enough for the sockets for casters.
