TikToker Sparks Bed Bugs Debate After Taking Home '$8k Couch' Left On The Sidewalk

One man's trash is another man(da)'s treasure...

But TikToker Amanda Joy's treasure came at the expense of responding to major concerns in the comment section of her video.

According to her video, Joy found an $8k Roche Bobois couch on the streets of NYC and was not going to pass on the opportunity to call it her own.

In her initial TikTok, the creator described how she found the couch on the street and begged her dad to pick it up for her - which he eventually did - and brought to his work office where they could tidy it up.

She then documented the cleaning and drying process and the ultimate move to its resting place in her apartment.

You can watch Joy's excitement below.

And while Joy shared her... joy, viewers shared their concern, specifically about the potential of bed bugs.

In response to all the worry, Joy posted a follow-up video addressing various comments.

In the TikTok, she clarified the couch was on the street for less than 24 hours before being transported by her father, and it sat there for more than two weeks... just to be sure.

Joy also added that the couch had a couple of stains and several small tears that she covered with throw pillows, so she's claiming that as the reason for it being thrown out - and she's sticking to it.

And for the commenters who tried to tell her the couch was a knock-off, she showed the tags to prove them wrong.

Unfortunately for the creator, though, viewers' worry was unwavering.
