I have an old washstand that I am planning to add a vessel sink to the top and use as a vanity for a quest of basement bathroom. This old piece of furniture has been rebuilt before or cobbled together from several pieces prior to our ownership. The feet are 1.5x1.5 oak straight legs. Sometime in it's life it had casters, I believe based on the metal caps on the bottom of the legs.

We have kept this on carpet so it has not been an issue. The washstands new home will be on a tile floor. I will add a nail rail of sorts to secure/mount it to wall similar to a vanity. In addition the current height of the top of the vanity is about 30.5 inches. The vessel sink is about 6" deep. My question is what is best approach to deal with these ugly feet? I had considered pulling the caps off and adding an inch or two to the bottom to raise the top a bit. I had also thought about purchasing some wheels to place in these holes and still mount to the wall bit the wheels on the tile. Thoughts?
Second question is regarding the mirror. It is currently 2 pieces, a beveled glass and a mirror that rests behind the beveled glass.

There is about an 1/8 of an inch or less reveal round the back edge of the frame. When mirror and glass are installed. I had some finish nails precariously stuck in to hold it. Sorry I failed to get a picture with the glass and mirror installed. I can clean this up with some shimming and plywood or some PVC slats I have. My question is are there some better methods now to maintaining the beveled glass mirror look without stacking the mirror under the glass?
I thank you for your help and suggestions
