I took a risk and ordered a sofa from Shein – but I saved £274, it came in 3 days and I rate it a 9/10 for comfort
A BARGAIN hunter has revealed that she took a risk and ordered herself a sofa from Shein. Not only did Janai Shantrell save £274 on the homeware buy thanks to an epic discount, but it was delivered incredibly quickly too. 2 2 Eager to show off her new purchase, Janai, who is from the US, took to social media and posted a snap of her Shein buy, leaving many gobsmacked. Alongside the clip, the savvy shopper penned: 'POV: I bought a couch off Shein.' Janai ordered the Furmax Modern U-Shape Sectional Sofa, which was once priced at $769.99 [£570.99], but had then been slashed down to $399.99 [£296.62]. Thanks to the 48% off discount, Janai saved an impressive $370 [£274] on the corner sofa. For less than £300, not only was Janai thrilled with the price of her new white couch, but she was overjoyed with its comfort too. The sofa arrived to Janai's home in numerous boxes, but it didn't take long for her to put it together. She later described it as 'pretty comfortable' and beamed: 'I rate it a 9/10.' And while many shoppers can find themselves waiting weeks for Shein hauls to arrive, Janai acknowledged: '[It] came in three days.' Janai added a variety of cushions and a cosy throw to the white sofa and now it looks super cosy in her apartment. She stressed that it 'takes two days for the cushions to fluff out' but now thinks her sofa 'looks great.' I bought a Shein sofa - it arrived in a single box & took 72 hours to 'inflate' And Janai's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ janaishantrell, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up six million views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 222,000 likes, 633 comments and 37,100 shares. Social media users were stunned by Janai's 'cute' purchase and eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'That's a bargain.' Another added: 'So cute!' 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. Whilst one Shein shopper beamed: 'Omg I neeeed.' Meanwhile, someone else asked: "Is it heavy?' To this, Janai confirmed: 'Yes, the boxes were heavy.' At the same time, one user penned: 'I will buy one off there but be scared it's a scam.' Janai then wrote back and admitted: 'I was scared too.' Not only this, but another asked: 'A full size? I know someone who ordered a sofa and it was for a doll's house.' In response, Janai explained: 'I was nervous about the size but it's bigger than I expected.'

I test gaming devices for a living — here are 7 peripherals I recommend right now
This article is part of Tom's Guide's inaugural Gaming Week, an entire week of content dedicated to all things gaming. From insights into the latest hardware, guides to the best games you can play today, to the essential accessories we can't play without. Tom's Guide Gaming Week will guide you through the world of video games in 2025. While you don't need much beyond a gaming machine and a low-latency monitor or TV to really get starting with gaming, you can seriously enhance your experience with the right accessories. I'm a tech journalist and a lifelong gamer, so I'm always testing the latest gaming gear. To that end, one of my goals is to help readers — and fellow gamers — find peripherals, such as the best gaming monitors, best PC game controllers and best gaming headsets out there. And since it's Gaming Week here at Tom's Guide, I wanted to devote an article to serve that purpose. If you own one of the best gaming PCs or consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, I can help you find the best gaming gear. Below are the seven gaming peripherals I recommend to help take your gaming to the next level. The Alienware AW3425DW QD-OLED is a worthy successor to my beloved Alienware AW3423DWF. This updated model now offers a faster 240Hz refresh rate and a lower 0.03ms response time for smoother gaming. It also has a more space-saving design thanks to its flat stand. You get all that with the same 34-inch 1440p QD-OLED curved display we've come to love. The fact that this monitor is $799 makes it a must-have for any gaming setup. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5P is compatible with PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC, Android, iOS and Meta Quest. Sound quality is incredible, and the 360° spatial audio makes games feel more immersive. With intuitive controls, an elastic headband and adjustable memory foam earcups, the Arctis Nova 5P is extremely comfortable. It also boasts an outstanding battery life of up to 60 hours, and a 15-minute charge gives you about 5 hours of playing time. Note that you'll need the Arctis Nova 5X to use with your Xbox. The Scuf Valor Pro packs many features you'd expect from Scuf, including an ergonomic design, responsive controls, remappable buttons and custom face plates. Though it lacks wireless connectivity and customization software, its relatively low cost for a pro controller makes it enticing. This 55-inch Furmax gaming desk is perfect for both work and gaming. It's spacious enough to accommodate your peripherals and even a medium-sized desktop. The desk has a sturdy build that can hold up to 140 pounds. Best of all, it's easy to assemble and relatively affordable for all it provides. The Corsair K65 Plus Wireless is an excellent 75% gaming keyboard thanks to its smooth switches, sound-dampening and programmable RGB lighting. It's also hot-swappable for good measure. Though we wish it had an aluminum frame and more distinguishing features, its $159 price tag is cheaper than the competition. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 is an incredible mouse for gaming, boasting a maximum DPI of 32,000 and a 4,000Hz polling rate so you never miss a shot. It's a no-frills mouse without any RGB lighting, a premium matte finish, and a light-as-air construction. It builds on its predecessor's strengths and delivers the ultimate gaming experience for the competitively-minded. The Secretlab Titan Evo is one of the best gaming chairs available. Not only is it well-built and exceedingly comfortable, but it also comes in multiple sizes and materials that accommodate all buyers equally. Though it's more expensive than its competitors, it occupies the top of our best gaming chairs list for a reason. It's just that good.
