A mum who thought she was getting a stylish new bookshelf from Temu was left in stitches when her delivery arrived - looking nothing like the advertised product.
The shopper, who shared her experience on social media, expected a sleek wooden shelving unit but instead received what appears to be a comically small and flimsy imitation.
Expectation vs Reality
Photos circulating online show the stark contrast between the elegant bookshelf pictured in the Temu listing and the disappointing item that turned up at her door.
While the advertisement displayed a substantial piece of furniture that could hold multiple books and decorative items, the actual product looks more like a miniature version barely suitable for a doll's house.
Social Media Reacts
The viral post has sparked hundreds of amused comments, with fellow shoppers sharing their own Temu mishaps. Many users admitted they couldn't stop laughing at the extreme difference between what was promised and what arrived.
"This is why I'm scared to order furniture online," wrote one commenter, while another joked: "At least you got a free comedy show with your purchase!"
Temu's Growing Reputation
The incident adds to Temu's growing reputation for questionable quality control, despite its rock-bottom prices. Consumer experts warn that while some bargains can be genuine, shoppers should always check reviews carefully before purchasing larger items.
