Three desks and chairs for $10 is a great deal – but not as great if they're only a few inches tall.

Such a set is for sale on Amazon, and the review section shows that many disgruntled buyers failed to read the product dimensions before checking out, and they accidentally wound up with teeny-tiny furniture.

While it does look like a human-sized desk set, the Amazon listing does state the product's size: 8.7 x 5.5 x 1.8 inches.

The listing describes the furniture as "1/12 scale Figure accessories," meaning they're designed for that specific size of action figure. And according to some other commenters, the desks and chairs do fit their action figures perfectly:

The moral here? Always read product descriptions, and if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
