This platform was exactly what I was looking for! We dust being a problem for most people it just made sense to put something into place that would not accumulate dust. I did this unlike most people I purchased a double and put a queen bed on top knowing it would give me foot and hand space while making up the bed. We added three 2x4's and screwed them on top the structure once it was built. It came out magnificently and will upload pictures when room is complete which is any day now. As for the dust, never again any problem!!
