Wrong size

Today, when I finally got delivered the new kitchen table that I ordered online a week ago, I found out that it was actually a kitchen table for a dollhouse, as I forgot to check the size. FML

Today, I tried to decorate my coffee table by following a DIY project I found on Pinterest, but I ended up ruining it and now have to buy a new one instead. FML

Today, I was so tired that I thought the item I'd ordered a few months ago had been delivered then stolen, so I emailed the company about it. When I checked back on the website, I realized it hadn't actually been delivered yet and I read the invoice wrong. FML

Today, my class got baby dolls for the week to teach us how to be good parents. After school, I went to the store with my mom with the baby doll. When I got home, I realized that I left the baby doll in a shopping cart. FML

Today, after my husband trusted me to sort out the arrangements for modifying our kitchen and I spent a lot of time finding the perfect top-quality items, they were delivered 1,291 miles away in a town I’ve never heard of. FML

Damn you, Ikea!

Today, I attempted to assemble a piece of furniture that claimed to be "easy to build in minutes." Four hours and multiple arguments later, I realized I had misread the instructions, and half the parts were upside down. I'm pretty sure the furniture won this round. FML

Today, my dad came over and ordered me, a 43 year-old woman, to purchase a kitchen table. He and my sisters are embarassed that we are still using a plastic folding table. It doesn't matter to them that we have just spent over $30,000 on renovations. His cousins are coming from Italy. FML

Today, I spent two hours building an IKEA bookshelf. When I was finished, I realized it was inside-out. There was no way to fix it without completely taking it apart again. FML

Today, I bought a desk for my new apartment. After ignoring the warnings on the box saying it should not be carried alone, I made it all the way to my apartment with the desk. I walked in the door and dropped it on my foot. FML

Today, I hosted an open house. I forgot about it and arrived as they were leaving. There were dirty dishes and laundry everywhere, and my dildo was on my dresser. FML

It turns out that stunningly overpriced dollhouse furniture costs about as much as reasonably priced human-scale furniture.

You're not wrong. I take doll photos and have built a custom dollhouse, and some of the high quality stuff built by really talented people can cost a huge amount.

Get some Pym gas and hope you shrink to the right size.

So. Was it very cheap for human house kitchen table or very expensive for a doll house kitchen table? 🤔

I hope you didn't pay several hundred $ for a dollhouse table.

It would depend on what exactly they mean by kitchen table for a dollhouse. Looking it up, I can buy a fairly basic people sized dining room table for about a 100 bucks on sale plus tax and delivery. On that same website I can buy doll furniture for dolls 18" starting at about 20 bucks and going through a range all the way up to about $350. The same as with human furniture it's really dependent on what the doll furniture is made out of, whether or not it is handcrafted or mass produced, and of course the size of the item which is proportioned to the size of the doll it is meant for. So it is, in theory possible, that if the OP didn't look at the proportions and the seller didn't label it clearly as doll furniture, that the OP could have ordered what they thought was a basic inexpensive table and instead got a table for a larger doll. It is also possible that the OP is saying it is a table for a Dollhouse but it is actually one of those pieces of furniture made for toddlers playrooms/playhouses.
