MANY of us will have ordered clothes, shoes or maybe even holiday accessories from Shein, but did you know that you can buy beds from there too?
Recently, we've seen shoppers take the risk and nab themselves fresh new sofas from Temu, but now it appears that people are beginning to order box-fresh furniture from Shein.

A mother named Shaks explained that she 'wanted to take a risk' and bought herself a brand new bed frame from Shein.
While she recognised that it was confusing to put together, she was thrilled with her new bedroom purchase, which cost her just £269.99.
Not only does it have LED lights and four storage drawers, but it's even got a charger port too - yes, you heard that correctly.
Eager to show others her new bargain buy, Shaks took to social media and gave her followers a close-up look at the functional bed frame, which is a gorgeous linen beige.
Showing off her Flieks Upholstered Bed, which is still available to order online, Shaks said: 'I bought a bed from Shein so you don't have to.'
Showing off the process of putting the frame together, Shaks explained: 'Well, to start off with, those confused the instructions - the Shein manufacturer needs to redo them because we had to undo, start again about three, four times.'
The content creator then showed off the bedside charging port and storage drawers.
Following this, she shared: 'It was looking a bit small at first but it actually worked out great.
'I can honestly say, you can buy your bed from Shein - it even comes with LED lights.'
The LED Light Bed, which has four storage drawers and a slatted frame, was originally priced at £519.98, but has now been reduced to £259.99.

In a follow-up clip, just weeks after getting the bed, Shaks revealed: 'It's still standing, it's firm, it's strong, the colour is good.'
Despite this, the mother acknowledged: 'The only problem that I find with this bed is that it's too low, so if you've got back problems I personally wouldn't recommend it.'
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.
Having said that, she recognised that the bed, which doesn't come with a mattress, is 'good for Shein.'
Social media users react
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ shaks6, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up a jaw-dropping 20.3 million views.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 1.4 million likes, 4,665 comments and 125,800 saves.
Social media users were left stunned by the affordable bed and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this.
One person said: 'I didn't know they sold beds.'
Another added: 'Buying a bed from Shein is so crazy.'
A third commented: 'DON'T TEMPT ME.'
Whilst another user wrote: 'At this point, they have everything. They need to start selling Mr. Right too now man.'
And it's not only Shaks that shared a positive review of the purse-friendly bed, as online Shein shoppers have also raved about the furniture.
One shopper beamed: 'Sooooo good, easy to assemble and even comes with a charging port. I am in love!!!'
A second simply penned: 'Absolutely love!'
Whilst another praised: 'Lovely bed, love the USB and the lights. The drawers are a bonus, quite spacious.'
