Loft Bed

Sofia has a few friends who have loft beds and she loved them. She has asked for a loft bed for a while but we weren't sure if she was really ready to be sleeping high off the ground. That along with the expense we didn't want to just run out and buy one right away. We decided that we would make the loft bed her present for her 5th birthday. We couldn't put off the purchase for very long anyway since she was outgrowing her toddler bed! After our trip to the U.S., we came back and started the hunt for a loft bed. Most of the loft beds I found in Czech were really low to the ground which to me negates the benefits of a loft bed. Ikea had a few loft beds but they were ugly or made of pine which I didn't want. I finally found a company online based in Germany. After some laguage translating thanks to google translate, we ordered Sofia's new loft bed. We had to send the money via wire transfer rather than credit card which is still akward to me even after two years. All went well though and Sofia's new bed arrived 11 days after I ordered it. Jason and I figured out the directions and assembled the bed. We bought a new mattress and tonight will be Sofia's first night in her new big girl loft bed.
