Woman goes viral with $8k couch found on street, but is it real? TikTokThe internet is split after a TikToker claims they got an absolute steal, grabbing a couch worth $8k for free after picking it up off the street. On May 20, TikTok user @yafavv.mandaa uploaded a video showing the process of collecting their new couch, which was dumped on a New York sidewalk. The couch appeared to be from Roche Bobois \u2014 a French designer brand, and worth approximately $8k \u2014 and although they did their due diligence in cleaning it before putting it in their apartment, many were still concerned that it could be infested. It\u2019s fair to say the internet was amused by the viral video, and while many asked questions, some couldn\u2019t help but poke fun \u2014 suggesting the couch is covered with bed bugs, roaches, and other pests, or even bodily fluids, and others questioned whether or not it was real Roche Bobois furniture. TikToker responds after $8k couch found on street goes viral After being roasted by the masses, the TikToker uploaded an update video on May 21, responding to concerns and criticism. One of the many questions was how long the sofa was left outside, to which they answered claiming it was on the sidewalk for less than a day before picking it up. \u201cIt was outside for less than 24 hours,\u201d they said. \u201cWhen I saw it, it was pouring raining, the next day in the morning I went to go pick it up.\u201d Furthermore, they assured viewers that it was thoroughly cleaned, and left in storage for a couple of weeks before moving it into their home. \u201cIt was brought back to my dad\u2019s workplace, we cleaned it, and it sat in his workplace for over two weeks! Everyone\u2019s saying bed bugs form within a week or two weeks. It was sitting there for two weeks, if there were bed bugs we would\u2019ve seen it!\u201d The internet further questioned why such an expensive piece of furniture was left, with some doubting it\u2019s an actual legitimate $8,000 sofa \u2014 noting how the material and color of the couch are not available on the Roche Bobois website. However, the TikToker seems to be sure it is, explaining it was left outside an expensive building. \u201cIt was thrown out in front of a very rich building, so I took the opportunity and brought it in,\u201d they said. \u201cRich people throw out all their furniture all the time because they get new furniture every other year. So I saw the opportunity and took it.\u201d It\u2019s undetermined whether or not it\u2019s actually worth $8k, but the internet certainly still isn\u2019t convinced of its value, showing examples of knock-off versions of the designer sofa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
