The online Chinese retailer is known to be the place to grab bargain buys.
Usually, people order small home accessories or clothes, but one woman decided to take a massive risk and order furniture from Shein.
Shaks decided to take a risk and buy a king-sized bed on Shein[/caption]
While it was a nightmare to assemble, he seemed thrilled with the final results[/caption]
Shaks took to social media after ordering the bed online for £269.99 to show people what had arrived.
Many people have had issues after ordering from the site, like one woman whose curtains arrived and were just inches long.
But it didn’t put Shaks off ordering the bed.
When it finally arrived, it came in numerous boxes and it was a struggle to assemble.
She said: “Okay, so I bought a bed from Shein so you don’t have to.
“Well, to start off with, it was confusing. The instructions, why? The Shein manufacturer needs to redo them because we had to undo, start again about three, four times.”
However, once she finally got the hang of the instructions, it was ‘alright’.
The luxe-looking bed came in beige faux leather and had storage baskets underneath.
But that’s not all, the headboard had a built-in phone charger as well as LED lights to set the mood.
Once it was built and she was able to control the light system, Shaks was left seriously impressed.
The Shein buyer had waited to buy a mattress to make sure the bed frame was exactly what she ordered.
She added: “I can honestly say you can buy your bed from Shein.
“You can soon buy a house and land and car and babies on Shein.
“It even comes with LED lights, yeah, go and get your bed, girls and boys.”
Shak gave viewers an update four months later on how the bedframe held up and she still loved the bargain buy.
“It’s still standing, it’s firm, and it’s strong,” she added.
The clip quickly went viral on her TikTok account @shaks6 with over 20 million views.
People couldn’t believe the bed worked out and took to the comments to share their surprise.
One person wrote: “Buying a bed from Shein is crazy.”
Another commented: “The minute SHEIN starts doing overnight shipping… It’s over.”
What is Shein and is it legit?
Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world.
The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M.
The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu.
Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam.
But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews.
There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag.
“Don’t tempt me,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I didn’t actually think you could buy a legit bed.”
“I like the fact you’re a risk taker lol,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Crazyyy, I thought it’d be a scam that’s better than my bed from The Range.”
