Thanks.I was going to add some bamboo as you suggested and the wife liked the rope and look that it had.Ok with me cause it saved a few hours time.It is a platform bed and I just lag bolted them to the sides.I could have made a complete frame to simply go around the bed.Free standing.But what the hell it's an old bed anyway.Enjoyed the link and enlightened me with a few new ideas for making the bamboo.That stuff looks real.
