I live in a foldable $26k tiny home I bought from Amazon – ‘the ceilings are low’ but it has plumbing and electricity

AN Amazon shopper bought a spacious foldable tiny home from the company that has a pre-installed toilet and shower to make move-in easy.

When Jeffrey Bryant, 23, saw a YouTube video of someone unboxing their Amazon home, he knew he needed to have one too.

“I ran to the website to get one,” he said in a video.

On his TikTok (@hittaa_jeff) he shared a video offering a tour of the home once it arrived – which was less than a week after he ordered it.

Bryant said it took five employees just 27 minutes to get the home set up, but it’ll have to be folded up again to move it to its permanent location.

The outside is a warm yellow color with several windows and glass double doors for the main entrance.

The bathroom was spacious and ready to go with an already installed toilet, shower, and sink.

“Plastic, fake, marble, I don’t know,” Bryant said of the material in the shower and on the vanity.

His only beef with the home is the height of the ceiling.

“The ceilings are very low…I’m only 5’8″,” he said, reaching up and easily touching the ceiling with his hands.

There are also plumbing hookups on the back side of the house right outside of the bathroom.

Bryant said Amazon specialist Karina saw his video and reached out to offer him some freebies, including two couches and an upgrade for the paint color of the home.

“Kisses to you, Karina,” he said.

He hasn’t bought land to set the house on yet, so he is keeping it at a storage location for the time being.

The Chery Industrial Expandable Prefab House has a kitchenette, bedroom, living room, and bathroom.

Buyers have multiple size options to choose from, ranging from 15 feet by 20 feet to 19 feet by 20 feet.

But Bryant won’t be living in the home as he has bigger plans for it.

“I bought the tiny house to transform it into an AirBnB for displaced people or people facing homelessness,” he revealed.

“As a person of color and a Gen Z, I want to inspire others to make wise decisions with their money.

“People my age are told that we can’t afford to purchase homes, but I’m proof that it is possible.”

HOME SWEET HOME

Another popular tiny home sold on Amazon is the foldable Bovono prefab home.

It costs just $17,600 for a unit measuring 13 feet by 20 feet, but larger sizes are available for between $20,000 and $35,000.

The structure is made out of alloy steel and plastic that is waterproof and makes for “easy and fast assembly,” according to Amazon.

A TikTok from @bestofcleaners shows a new homeowner unfolding his new place with some friends.

“The entire house has to fold out, kind of like a puzzle,” he excitedly said.

“That’s a whole wall! I’ve never folded a house together. This thing is so easy to build you literally just unfold it.”

Similar to Bryant’s model, it has a bathroom with a toilet and shower, a bedroom, and a small kitchen.
