When a mum ordered a bargain sofa online, she couldn’t wait for it to arrive.
Pinky Jones was looking forward to sprawling out on the L-shaped five-seater sofa, which she snapped up from Wayfair for $249.99 (around £186).
The 36-year-old had anticipated it to be big enough to fit her fiancé Joseph, 38, and five children.
But unfortunately for the online shopper, the furniture item was barely suitable for one person.
The property manager, from Florida, said: "My fiancé was in when it arrived and he said it seemed small, but I thought maybe it needed to be assembled to make shipping easier but when we opened it, it was just a tiny sofa.
"I had to laugh, it's literally a baby sofa.”
Pinky continued: "I would never have dreamed I was buying it for a child.
"I thought it was going to be an actual sofa, big enough for my living room.
"It didn't say anywhere that it was for a child and it was listed in the living room section on the website.
"It said it seats five so I thought at least the five kids would be able to squeeze on it and me and my fiancé could sit on the beanbags for now.
"I was looking forward to it arriving because we don't have any furniture and I waited ten weeks for delivery.”
Pinky added: "It's annoying because now I have no furniture in my living room but I've had a sad childhood and I've been homeless.
"I've been able to buy my own house now so I've been given too many lemons to complain, I just found it hilarious."
It wasn’t just the Wayfair shopper who thought the mishap was hilarious.
When Pinky shared the blunder on Facebook, her post garnered more than 59,000 shares.
Pinky said: "I didn't expect it to go so big.
"I posted it on Facebook just for my friends and when I came back to my phone it had just blown up.
"I couldn't believe it."
The family are now fundraising for a new sofa as they haven't yet received their refund. You can donate here.
