Ideas wanted for adirondack chair mobility
I recently completed this chair and now want to add some sort of mobility wheels to allow for easy movement around our verandah. Rather than re-invent the wheel and over engineer a solution I am hoping that someone smarter than me, and there are plenty of you out there, will have tackled a like problem. Ideally I don't want a solution where the chair sits on wheels but rather a system whereby the wheels drop down and doesn't overly detract from the look of the chair.
Am I asking too much?
Thanks

Easiest way is to grab a pair of wheels on a steel axle. Roll them up to the back feet of the chair until the axle touches, then lift 'em off the ground by about 5-10mm for clearance. Work out how to fix the axle at this location. (A couple of u-brackets?)
Lifting the front of the chair the wheels should come into contact with the ground and the back feet lift off... and you basically have an oddly shaped wheelbarrow.
Would've been better if you'd known you wanted to add the wheels in advance and had left more meat on the back feet in allowance, but still...

following on from Skew ChiDAMN!!.
cut a notch in each rear leg/foot for the axel to hook into,
Lift up front end move it to desired position then remove axel.
Steps in yard could be a problem.I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds
