Online shopping is full of regrets. But it can be really entertaining too.

A few days ago, Lexi Brown from Minnesota made a tweet, saying "A hobby of mine is finding ridiculous items for sale at Nordstrom's." Brown also attached a picture of her best find yet—a Pavé Chair Bag.

If you also can't understand the purpose of this sparkling little chair, don't worry. Its sellers are as clueless as we all are. "Always have a front-row seat thanks to this sparkly pavé folding chair made in collaboration with lifestyle brand Myreality," they wrote in the product description. "Shown on the runway at New York Fashion Week, this bedazzled object d’art doesn't actually carry anything, except for a conversation." And people loved it.

The tweet instantly blew up, receiving nearly 170K likes and inspiring others to share their hilarious discoveries as well. Continue scrolling and check them out!

Nordstrom is an American luxury department store chain. Founded back in 1901 by John W. Nordstrom and Carl F. Wallin, it originated as a shoe store and evolved into a full-line retailer with departments for clothing, footwear, handbags, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics, and fragrances.

Some stores feature home furnishings and wedding departments, and several also have in-house cafes, restaurants, and espresso bars.

Nowadays, no wonder Nordstrom has so many "WTF" items—as of 2021, it operates 100 stores in 32 U.S. states, and 3 Canadian provinces since entering the market in 2014. One location in Puerto Rico was in operation from 2015 through 2020.

The corporate headquarters and flagship store are located in the former Frederick & Nelson building in Seattle, Washington; a second flagship store is located near Columbus Circle in New York City. Its subsidiaries include the off-price department store chain Nordstrom Rack and the members-only online store HauteLook.

Nordstrom has long been an early adopter of e-commerce, especially among its department store peers. That ethos will serve the upscale retailer well as it weathers the biggest storm in its history, which sent an even bigger chunk of its business online.

The company said at its virtual investor day that sales in Q4 2020, including the key holiday season, fell by a low 20s percentage, capping a devastating year in which the pandemic temporarily shut all of its stores and its clientele eschewed the fashion wares for which Nordstrom is known.

But another big result of the COVID-19 upheaval is that the percentage of sales Nordstrom gets online has risen to about 50% and the company expects that to stick. Which may be the reason why people have been finding so many ridiculous items lately!

Are you sure they didn’t break it or a dog kept chewing on it and they had to carve it? I feel like it was just broken and they wanted to sell it.

It's a ping pong table for people who don't play ping pong. That makes sense.

I'm not paying $4,000 for a ping pong table, but this is actually pretty cool.

It would be easy to cut it out of plywood, wait that might be more expensive since Plywood is getting really EXPENSIVE (here in the US).

But this is obviously a very advanced ping-pong table - a REAL challenge for when you need to really up your game for the big championship match. Think of playing on Japan, or Peru.

I could kind of get it if the tabletop was a rectangle of clear acrylic and what ever they wanted to include were sandwiched or suspended in the acrylic. However if that's the shape fuhgetaboudit!

I saw a"vintage" galvanized roof turbine vent for $600 and an "antique French beekeeper's beehive" for $1,000, both at Anthropologie. I can never go in that store again for fear that somebody will see me inthere. A galvanized roof turbine can be bought new at Lowe's for about $50 and give it your own custom vintage look

It would be a good deal if you could get Russia for the same price.
