Hi Henry, try posting this over on John’s site (at myfamilylovesit–link is at the top of the post), he probably won’t catch your comment over here. I think he’d be able to give you great feedback on your ideas .

John,

Thank you for such a great simple idea.

I’m thinging of adding 4X4’s to the corners w/lockable castors, plus putting two 2X10’s and two 2X4’s down the middle of both frames, and cutting the mdf down the middle so I could take them apart in two halves should I ever need to move it. I’d also cut half-circles over the places where the frames were bolted together (you wouldn’t be able to see them with the mattress on the bed) so I coulde reach the bolts with a socket wrench.

Do you have any thoughts on this idea?

Thanks in advance, Henry from Oregon.
