The charpai has been described as a ‘traditional Indian bed’ design with modern upgrades.

A ‘charpai’ which can typically be found for just Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000 in local markets, has taken the online world by surprise with a staggering price tag of Rs 2.29 lakh. The product, listed on the global marketplace Etsy, is being marketed as a “traditional handwoven Indian bed” with a blend of traditional design and modern aesthetics.

Etsy, a platform that allows sellers to set their own prices and list products without the company itself managing inventory, showcases this simple piece of furniture with an eye-watering price tag. The listing includes multiple options, with the least expensive ‘charpai’ priced at Rs 1.63 lakh. Other variants are listed for Rs 1.83 lakh, Rs 1.96 lakh, and Rs 2.09 lakh, leaving potential buyers in shock at the disparity between the product’s traditional roots and its luxury price.

Reviews on the site revealed mixed reactions, with some praising the quality and customer service, while others express disappointment over its size or value for money. One reviewer remarked, “Decent item, especially at this price,” while another mentioned, “The goods are good, but not as big as I expected.”

Etsy, founded in 2017, has grown into a prominent platform for handmade, vintage, and unique products, connecting artisans and buyers worldwide. The site operates as a middleman, allowing independent sellers to showcase and sell their goods. As of last year, Etsy employed 2,420 people and has expanded its reach to customers globally.
