We at Bright Side want to share the examples we’ve found of bad purchases, and we hope you will be able to avoid any experiences like these.

That's doable stain the wood, choose your fabric, add mattress. Fabric looks like organza. If you're not experienced with it. Hire someone if it needs sewing. Looks like you need a rope of some kind at the foot of the bed. Seriously not the worst I've seen. I'd take it in a hot second.

The product picture looks like a miniature and cheap wood. Was this truly an accident?

Ok the bench definitely looked like a miniature before. In my defense I did have a dollhouse growing up, the playskool one. I told my mom if I have a daughter I want to buy the fancier dollhouse that isn’t plastic (neighbor growing up had a Victorian wooden one that was so very dreamy) and she said, “But what if she doesn’t like dolls?” She has also asked if our kids will be embarrassed by their geeky parents. So like.. what will the kids be into? Lol to be fair, my husband and I are in a lot of fandoms and I was(am) equal parts “girly/feminine” and non-stereotypical girl interests. Can’t a women talk about SW, HP, LotR, anime, DW, X-Files, chemical and Avatar elements haha.... while wearing a dress and a vintage/antique brooch? (Okay okay, there’s plenty of interesting things outside of my comfort zone (happy place??) BACK TO THE POINT! I usually feel disappointed for these people, but that bench haha not even sturdy looking wood. Well, for a full-size human. Or even a small one.

I saw an ad from a 3rd party supplier on Walmart's website and it clearly showed 4 stylus pens of various colors. There was a mention of "1" being the total, which I believed meant 1 package. When it finally arrived, I received just 1 green colored pen and was so disappointed because others were selling 8 or 10 for just a couple of dollars more than I paid for that one. I was ticked off (besides, green is my least favorite color), so I returned it for refund.
