Casters installed and everything leveled up. One side of the base is tweaked by about 1/4", so I just added a couple if flat washers and all is good. Going for pure functionality, not good looks.

Thanks for the reply. I may stretch that to around 7 days, which is normally the point at which I cold crash anyway. US-05 in my experience works very fast, so that should work out perfectly.
