I realize this has been discussed in various threads, but I'm hoping to hear from people who have a few years of use and are happy with their choice.
I will be mounting casters directly to the bottom of 4x4 legs. There will not be any additional material at the bottom of the leg, so all I've got to work with is the 3.5" square. As noted in other threads, most caster plates are bigger than this (3 5/8"). Even if you wanted to live with 1/8"-3"16" of the plate hanging off the back, the mounting holes would be very close to the edge of the leg.
So, those of you with 4x4 legs, what caster solutions have worked for you?
---------
And of course after I typed this out, I found this option via Grainger. It has a 3" square plate and 176 lb rating. (I estimate my fully loaded table with concrete top to be about 500 lbs.) Maybe this is my answer?

Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
