Sometimes, renting an apartment means you have to think smaller when it comes to furniture, which may pose a challenge. However, it seems there is an affordable solution.
The TikTok account Mzansi Tunein, which uses the handle @tunein74, shared a video of an L-shaped couch that costs South African shoppers only R5000. According to the account holder, the furniture (decorated with matching scatter cushions) can be found at Double Click Factory Direct in Gauteng.
In the video, it informed online users:
"A plug for those who have small apartments."

Lady shares R6000 couch she ordered vs what she got
In a related article, Briefly News reported about a woman who showed a R6000 couch she ordered at a store compared to what she received when it arrived at her home.
Instead of 14 vertical channel tufts, the woman received a couch with 10, making the grey velvet furniture more of a two-seater than a three-seater. In addition to the smaller make, the piece of furniture was also damaged.
Abdul Dollie, who has been in the upholstery industry for 14 years, spoke to Briefly News about vertical tufting and the damage on the couch.
