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."

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.

"It even comes with LED lights, yeah, go and get your bed, girls and boys."

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."

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."

I work in a doggy daycare and would never own these 10 breeds – they're stinky, unhealthy, fart & attack me at work
IT can be hard to know which dog breed is best for you - but one professional has given her advice. May, who has worked at a doggy daycare for eight years, shared 10 breeds that she would never have herself. 5 The dog professional said she would be put off by both English and French bulldogs Credit: TikTok/@notnutmeggyy 5 She also was against owning pitbulls Credit: TikTok/@notnutmeggyy On her opinion . She added that her list is from her 'personal experience' and not every single dog from that breed shows the negative traits. The first up was an English bulldog, which, although it can be adorable, was one to avoid due to being 'stinky' and 'so unhealthy'. She added that the one had even tried to attack her recently which was another strike against the breed. More on dogs French bulldogs were also on her banned list for being 'unhealthy' and 'overbred.' Next up was a German Shepherd, who made the list due to their 'crazy anxiety'. She added that she would not be able to keep up with their energy and she would only consider getting a senior one. Fourthly, was a Chow Chow, as she said they aren't great with anyone other than their owner. Most read in Fabulous On a side note, she said their 'purple' tongues 'freak' her out. Pugs also made the list for 'not being healthy', barking too much, 'farting' too much and shedding. Laura Anderson shocks fans as she reveals her dog has BITTEN her daughter, 1, twice - but she's not giving him up Foxhounds were also a no-go, although she said she loves them other than the fact they are 'too loud.' Pitbulls, staffies and bullies also made the list as "aggression" is in their genes. In the UK, it is against the law to own certain types of dogs, including the Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro. Additionally, XL Bully dogs are banned in England and Wales . The top 10 dog breeds the professional would never own MAY, who posts under @notnutmeggyy, and who has worked at a doggy daycare for eight years, shared 10 breeds that she would not own... English Bulldog French Bulldog German Shepherd Chow Chow Pug Foxhound Pitbull, Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Staffie), Bully Pomeranian Husky Jack Russell Terrier It is also illegal to sell, abandon, give away, or breed from any of these banned dogs. May added that pitbulls are nearly always on Apoquel or anxiety medication, and also have allergies. The next dog on her list was a Pomeranian as they can be 'aggressive' and 'way too loud.' 5 Pugs also made the list for 'not being healthy' and barking too much Credit: Getty 5 Huskies were found to be 'loud af' and the 'shedding goes crazy' Credit: Getty 5 She said she'd encountered a lot of 'aggressive' Jack Russells Credit: Getty Another gripe she had was how much grooming they require. Dog number nine was a husky as they are 'loud af', she doesn't live in a cold climate and 'shedding goes crazy.' Finally, she recommended people don't buy Jack Russells as she's encountered so many "aggressive" ones and also she 'doesn't want to play fetch 24/7.' While many people agreed with her selection, the list also ruffled a few feathers with dog owners. One said: 'As I sit here on the couch with my 3 pitties who have zero allergies and no aggressive tendencies.' Another added: 'I won't tolerate English bulldog slander! They're wonderful dogs.'
