Temu Table – Classic Mistakes
My daughter gave me great advice, “Don’t buy anything on Temu for more money than you’re willing to let go of.” I know this, but I didn’t listen. I bought…

Donielle FlynnMy daughter gave me great advice, "Don't buy anything on Temu for more money than you're willing to let go of." I know this, but I didn't listen. I bought a Temu table. I recently saw a cool coffee table and I decided to buy it... ironically, for my daughter.
The Temu Coffee Table
The table opens out and up to work like a TV tray. You can eat while sitting on the sofa without bending over. I think it's a smart idea. Naturally, since it's Temu, this $358 table was available for just 50ish bucks. How can I go wrong? #retorical
I tried to make my purchase... of course, you can't just buy ONE item from Temu. I have my bonus spin where I won the biggest possible prize on my re-spin! I bought some stuff for about $70. I am a fool. As I was finishing my purchase, the screen blanked. I thought I had lost the purchase. I redid my purchase (as best I could... the sight is super confusing), and I bought the table and two other items. It turns out I bought two, possibly three coffee tables. The first two already arrived. I put the first one together yesterday. Here's a time-lapse of how that went.
Temu Table Construction Time Lapse
I'm pretty happy with the coffee table! It may be a Temu table mistake... maybe not. Not all of my Temu purchases have been a success. My family loves to rip me for trying to buy food on Temu. I am guilty. This is what showed up. Each piece is about an inch tall.

One time Temu sent me a "Thank you" gift... it was a pair of the cheapest white socks that you can possibly imagine. Then there's the whole croissant lamp fiasco:
Classic Temu Mistakes
- Don't buy anything for more than you are willing to lose. Temu is a gamble.
- You can't buy anything until you take your "lucky spins." Give up trying to avoid them.
- Forget about returns... it's unrealistic and there is no customer service.
- If you're not sure if you already bought something, CHECK YOUR EMAIL.
Good luck! I still do enjoy the gambling thrill of Temu. Half the time, when packages arrive, I've forgotten what I bought and it gets to be a surprise for me... from me. Happy shopping!
