Emerals: I would like to see photos when you finish. I like the headboard idea. Perhaps I will add one to my bed at some point.

roxy1234: I have not had any noticable issues with the legs binding up, but then again, I have not needed to dis-assemble it since I first set it up. I doo have a center post to support the 3/4" platform.

dverstra: I have a photo here:
