I disassembled the bed today and discovered one of the casters is broken.

In the threads suggested above, I found a possible, but not exact, replacement. I'll try to remember to post an update with whatever I end up using.

There are NO vertical studs in the outside wall and only one horizontal one, at the floor level. Based on the other threads, I think I will use an epoxy filler in the existing screw holes and redrill them for screwing the frame to the wall, gluing it at the same time. I'll add corner braces to the sides and cross brace to keep the frame together. Drive several screws down through the side walls of the frame into the moving floor, but short enough that they don't over penetrate the floor. I may need to add other corner braces to improve the frame's rigidity. I don't think I can use Daryles wheel mod in my storage area since it would require raising its entire floor a considerable amount and we store the extra chairs, comforter and pillow shams in there.
