I am in the process of building one right now. Its a little more elaborate than I had planned but figured I might as well do it right once!
The one I used up until now was just wooden supports and furniture casters. IT works but is much slower than something with nice rollers and adjustability.

I will post pics once I put it all together.

I will say that it pays big dividends when you work in the metals industry and also have a cabinet maker for a brother!!
I have made the bed out of birch plywood. The uprights are 3/16" aluminum. I bought a 12" piece of nylon round stock and turned and cutoff rollers on a lathe at work. I also purchased O-rings to go on them.
Will be adding a motor and chuck onto it once I can get some more aluminum for the bracket.
