Poke around furniture stores, new, steel framed, four half-poster beds with metal head and foot boards start at about NZ$300, if you skip a mattress and are willing to self assemble. They are pretty indestructable if you attach the limbs to the corners, level with the horizontal frame. Since any tugging is parallel to the frame (Anybody know a wayof attaching sketches to CM posts?) I suspect if you attach limbs to the top of the posts, you may find the screws/bolts connecting the posts at right angles to the base might bend over time. If you mount it vertically, anchor the posts to the wall, since the long metal frame is only attached to the end boards using thin bolts so any back and forth flexing may snap them.
