So I've been searching for a cheap and cheerful coffee table.
I found one on amazon for £13.99 and it looked decent.
Delivery due today.
Knock on the door ..

It was a dolls house coffee table Blush

Sorry OP but that made me laugh out loud.

CameFromTheDarkside · 31/05/2020 19:13

That made me laugh. Thank you 😁
I forgot to change number of items to kilograms on my online shopping once and I was sent a single new potato.

GrinGrinHilarious!

No worries OP! You just need to make a dolls house to put it in. Any spare shoe boxes and left over wall/wrapping paper? Glue?

That said the Amazon box might come in handy!Wink

OP now you just need the dolls house and the rest of the furniture...

Samtsirch · 31/05/2020 20:53

Just put it in the middle of the lounge carpet and make a feature of it.
Make sure no one stains it with their coffee cup. 😆

I came very close to this. Thought I'd found a bargain Maclaren buggy on Amazon. Was about to do the final click when I saw the word "doll" in the description.

I did this when online shopping for 9 year old turned out clothes were meant for 9 month old. Hate internet shopping!

There's an episode of 'The Middle' where this occurs Grin

onestepat · 31/05/2020 21:01

You should have seen my face when the amazon driver handed over this small box
I was thinking ...
I know it said compact but that is compact Grin
I haven't dare tell anyone in real life

My mother in law is a liability on line.

She told us she had ordered a summer house for her garden as no holidays this year. We were surprised she had ventured back onto the Internet after the last episode.

Summerhouse has been delivered. My Dd age 18 months will love it. Granny may not fit in it.

😅😅 Sorry OP. It's happened to me with hair pin and comb thingies.

NeuroAtypical · 31/05/2020 21:07

They weren't doll's kind but much smaller than I thought and completely useless.

I bought a basket from Amazon the other day to put our veg in, when it arrived it was like one of those Easter baskets that you put mini eggs in!

HungryForSnacks · 31/05/2020 21:13

Ahhh this has made my day!! Thanks OP!

Can you please please please post a photo of it with your evening cup of tea on top??

I did this when I bought a "life-like" skeleton for Halloween. It was pictured sitting on a normal looking chair so really did look like it would be" life sized" (which is how I read it) and I was very excited to have it for outside the house on Halloween. When it arrived it was about 8 inches tall so a huge disappointment.

PhilCornwall1 · 31/05/2020 21:29

To be fair, it won't take long to dust it. All you now need is this to go with it.

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine, he thought he’d ordered dumbbells for a great price but they turned up and it was a just a badly printed photo of some Grin
