A Kenyan furniture maker known online as Mirnta has gone viral after sharing a TikTok video recounting how she was allegedly swindled out of KSh 100,000 by a client who placed a large order, kept expanding it, then refused to pay when the furniture was finally delivered.
Mirnta narrated the ordeal in a screen-recording clip that shows a lengthy WhatsApp conversation with a contact she saved as "X Design Kitchen Table."
The thread includes photos and videos of chairs, dining table sets and sofas shared over several months of communication.

According to Mirnta, the client first reached out while she was in the village with little work on her hands.
The client came across as professional and encouraging, made an initial deposit and they began work on a KSh 100,000 furniture order.
Throughout the production process, she kept them updated with progress photos, and they reciprocated by sending reference images of the styles they wanted.
After the first batch was delivered, the client expressed interest in additional chairs.
