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.
I bought a Shein sofa - it arrived in a single box & took 72 hours to 'inflate'
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

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.

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."

TikTokers Dasha Vladimirovna, 21, and Karina Evgenyevna, 19, were filmed rapping in front of the burning facility RISKING VLAD'S FURY Influencers arrested after posting TikTok video posing in front of flaming Russian plant after Ukrainian strike TWO influencers have been arrested after posting a TikTok posing in front of a flaming Russian plant following a Ukrainian strike. A drone dramatically exploded the military-linked Rosneft-Kubannefteprodukt oil depot in Sochi.

They are captured in footage glorying in the Ukrainian strike which Putin's air defences failed to prevent. The video was posted to a track Crimson Dawn by singer Endshpil, a Russian rapper. Dasha and Karina were also with a man - but it was unclear if he had been hauled to the police as well. Advertisement A police "wanted" notice only specified the two women. 'During Internet monitoring, a publication was found showing two girls filming a video against the backdrop of a fire in Sochi,' a police statement said before the influencers were identified. It added: "The police have initiated an investigation, measures are being taken to identify the girls, and their actions will be legally assessed." Later it was confirmed the duo had been detained, and there were calls from pro-war outlets for them to issue a public apology over the stunt close to Sochi airport. Advertisement Kremlin moral guardian Yekaterina Mizulina, 40, head of Russia's Safe Internet League, said: 'Young people are filming content against the backdrop of drones flying into Sochi at night. 'I wonder what's wrong with the instinct for self-preservation? Defiant Putin bombs key Kherson bridge as Ukraine strikes back with massive drone strike on Russia's biggest resort 'Don't they understand that this is simply dangerous?' But the real reason for their arrest is the potential glamourising of a Ukrainian strike in Russia's largest resort. Advertisement Moscow takes an increasingly aggressive, extreme stance against social media stunts seen as highlighting Ukraine's successes in the war. A Ukrainian outlet Pravda Gerashchenko mocked: 'Russian zoomers are happy about the burning oil depot in [Sochi] - a new location for selfies. 'Ukrainian defence forces will definitely try to create as many such locations as possible.' The song 'conveys a search for direction, belonging and hope through music and the hip-hop community,' said one source. Advertisement 'It reflects on life's struggles, yearning for freedom, and finding strength and identity through artistic expression.'

Advertisement A defiant Vladimir Putin has snubbed peace and is instead steadily increasing his overnight bombing raids - which could soon hit 1,000 a day. Governor Oleksandr Prokudin urged residents of the Korabel district to evacuate, citing complications with logistics and infrastructure. He wrote on Telegram: "As a result of the enemy airstrike, logistics have been complicated. "Because of this, it will be difficult to deliver food and other things for the time being." Advertisement Kherson Oblast, which is just near the Russian-occupied Crimean region, is frequently targeted by the Russians. Kyiv sought revenge by launching a massive drone attack targeting Russia's main resort city of Sochi, where Putin is said to be rebuilding one of his palaces. More than 120 firefighters were trying to extinguish a blaze at an oil depot that was sparked by the drone attack, regional Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said. A massive fuel tank with a capacity of 2,000 cubic metres was on fire, Russia's RIA news agency reported.

Plus, the steps to follow before moving abroad from the UK MAJOR MOVE We're ditching the UK for Thailand – we can't wait to leave this 'miserable' life, all we do is work to pay bills A UK FAMILY have set their sights on Thailand after growing tired of the British lifestyle. The Smiths cited the rising cost of living, crime, and the school system as their main motivations for ditching life in the Midlands. Advertisement 2 TikTok user Dale Smith explained why his family are leaving the UK for a new life in Thailand Credit: TikTok / @ Dale Smith told 1.9 million TikTok viewers about his family's upcoming move. He explained that he found a variety of factors have made the UK "not a nice place to live any more". The HGV driver and his wife Kim, 36, are moving with their children Noah, 10, and Molly, eight, in November.

He added that the cost of living is continuing to rise while the UK streets are now "a state". Despite an increase in income following a change in work, Dale said all his extra money is "just going to bills". He compared the never-ending cycle to "banging your head against a brick wall".

80s movie bombshell, 65, has barely aged a day as she signs autographs 43 years after iconic sci-fi films
A 1980s movie bombshell has barely aged a day after being spotted signing autographs for beloved fans. She starred in a number of films in the 80s but she looks just the same during a recent outing at a Comic-Con event. 4 This 80s actress has stunned fans after barely ageing a day Credit: Alamy 4 She was a leading lady in a number of films Credit: Alamy 4 Sean Young continues to stun Credit: Alamy Sean Young found fame in Blade Runner and Dune and won legions of fans. They all flocked to London to see her in person in a rare public appearance. One fan uploaded a clip of the star to TikTok from the recent event. Sean could be seen sporting platinum blonde hair on the top of her head along with a bright red lipstick. Fans were left in awe at seeing that star in all her glory in 2025 as they gushed over how beautiful she was. One TikToker said: "The most beautiful actress hands down in the 80s." Another added: "One of the most beautiful women in the world in her time." A third penned: "Don't forget how gorgeous Sean Young was in Dune." Before a fourth added: "Still a very attractive lady." Just two years ago, Sean opened up in an interview with People magazine about her career and confessed that she may have offended many of her male co-stars with her humour in the 80s. Nepo baby with Hollywood star dad poses on red carpet - but can you guess who she is? Sean told the publication: "Other people, I discovered, didn't necessarily have the sense of humor that I did. "There's a lot of arrogance in the business and a lot of maniacal people in the business. "If you're saying something that's really obvious to somebody that might not want to see themself in a certain way, you can offend them. "I might've offended a couple of leading men along the way. It was never my intention, though. That's really true. "I just thought everything was very funny. I didn't take it that seriously. "I took what I did seriously."
