Rug detail mishap sends shoppers into fits of laughter: 'I can't look at it!'
- Replies 18
Kmart is the ultimate destination for savvy shoppers looking for quality homeware and furniture at unbeatable prices. And with the convenience of online shopping, you can easily snag that must-have item with just a click of a button!
But, of course, as with any shopping, there's always the risk of getting a bad deal.
Just ask this Aussie shopper who was lured in by a rug on Kmart's website only to receive something quite different from her expectations.
She thought she'd hit the jackpot, but what she received was a surprise that left her scratching her head…
After ordering a small trellis rug (measuring 140cm by 70 cm and featuring a grey and white diamond line design), she opened it up and found it embellished with an extra white line.
Needless to say, she was confused!
Being a savvy and socially connected shopper, she shared a photo of the rug in the Kmart Hacks & Décor Facebook group. In her post, she wrote: 'Just unrolled this rug in my family daycare room, and well, I think something is not quite right…'
Needless to say, the woman's post on the group was a comedy goldmine, leaving her fellow Kmart shoppers in fits of laughter!
The jokes and puns were flying, with one person quipping that Kmart really 'crossed a line' with this one, while another joked that the shopper was lucky to get an extra line on her rug for free.
One witty commenter even suggested that the pattern must have been done by the same crew responsible for the line marking on the streets where they live! (Maybe they were on a break and decided to decorate the rug?)
On the other hand, some shoppers were more forgiving and thought the detail was a surprise that made the rug unique.
One said, 'I love getting stuff that has errors; it makes them unique.', while another suggested: 'all things different deserve to still be loved'.
In the end, though, the woman decided to return the rug and claim a refund. After being inundated with comments, she replied, 'I did think about keeping it for about a second and a half. But no... It's going back. I can't look at it!'
It's good to remember that you can always return items you're not completely happy with! To know more about Kmart's return policy, check out this link here.
The trellis rug in question is a new release from Kmart, with the smaller version priced at a quite reasonable $29 and available online and in-store. And for those looking for a larger rug, there's a bigger size that costs $119 and is available online.
This awkward detail seems to be a rare case. But if you're looking to purchase the rug for yourself, it's best to double-check when you get it home!
But why settle for someone else's design when you can create your own masterpiece?
