So I recently bought this desk but I don't really like the height of it. Does anyone have an idea as to how I could raise the desk? I was thinking of maybe putting something underneath the feet but I can't think of something strong and stable enough. Also the feet of the desk currently screw on the bottom of the frame, it might be a 1/4 bolt but I honestly don't know off the top of my head. If anyone has an idea as to how I can modify this desk a bit it would be greatly appreciated.

How much higher do you want it? If it's only a couple inches you could get like a six foot 2x4 and cut it into four, two foot pieces and put one under each of the legs. Other than that it looks like something where if you need it taller you'll have to build something to make it taller like a stand for each of the legs. Do the little circular stands on the bottom of each of the legs not screw in and out for height adjustment I know some desks and tables do that.

They do screw in and out but I don't think that's what they're meant for but I could be wrong. I'm looking to raise the desk at least 2-3 inches. I feel like a 2x4 would just look totally jerry rigged and ugly.

You could build a 2-3" platform cut with an L pattern to match the shape of the desk.  Put a nice stain on it or paint it and it might look slightly less jerry rigged.

Oh so like one big stand for the desk as if the top of the desk was on the bottom but raised?
