People are leaving hilarious reviews for a giant crab statue that costs $1,500 at Home Depot
- The Home Depot is selling a 6-foot-wide crab statue.
- The garden decoration is on sale for $1,539.
There is a massive, 6-foot crab sculpture selling for $1,539 at The Home Depot, and people are confused.
According to product details, this colossal crustacean is 6 feet wide, 4.3 feet deep, and 15 inches tall. The garden decor company Design Toscano designed the crab exclusively for Home Depot. The company says it's meant to transform "any home, garden, restaurant or hotel into something truly magnificent."
Some customers have taken to Twitter to spread awareness of the item, while others left comments in the product reviews section on the store's website.
One five-star review on the site says this crab is a perfect versatile purchase: "If you need a good designated driver, a reliable companion/wingman, or a therapist, this right claw man always has your back, and if you ever find yourself stranded on a island, the Colossal Crustacean Grand Scale Giant King Crab is the perfect way for you to signal SOS due to his unbound charisma that extends to God himself."
Another customer who signed their five-star review as Timothy got emotional with it. "I was feeling really down and decided to take a trip to my local home depot in the hopes of turning my frown upside down," Timothy wrote. "I thought all hope was lost until I turned the corner and locked eyes with this beauty. I swear a light beamed down from the sky, and angels sang on high. My life was changed."
There were also some one, two, and three-star reviews that included warnings to not play around with "sensitive body parts" near the pinchers, accusing the crab statue of murdering fish, and satirical complaints of it being too small.
While commenters got creative in the reviews, Home Depot was seemingly in on the joke as well. The first line of the product description is, "We provide everything but the butter."
A representative for The Home Depot declined to share the number of crabs sold at the time of writing.
This isn't the first time a larger-than-life-sized item from the store has sparked conversation on social media. In October 2020, it was a 12-foot skeleton that had people talking, and in August 2020, Disney fans were excited about the 10-foot Oogie Boogie inflatable on offer.
