"From R18 000 to R8 000? Girl, we need videos on how to negotiate."

Judith responded to the TikTokker with a laugh:

"Don’t look excited when you see something you like. Make it seem like you’re doing them a favour by taking it."

After seeing the table the content creator chose to buy, @elijah_palm stated:

"Great choice. I love how the design of the table fits in seamlessly with the curtains in the last shot. It looks great."

Speaking about Coricraft Clearance Centre, @locoforcocopop added:

"That's exactly it - expensive junk. I found it very underwhelming, and the prices were way too expensive. The same next door at @home. That table is stunning."

@nadinef88 shared in the comment section:

"Eish, good luck with the chairs. Have you seen the price of one chair? I ended up buying mine from Facebook Marketplace. You just have to wait for the right chairs that will suit your style and price."
