<h1 class="title">Temu Reviews – Legit Deals or Risky Gamble?</h1>
<p class="subtitle">Real purchases, real photos, real price comparisons.</p>

<div class="section">
  <p>
    Temu has exploded in popularity thanks to <strong>shockingly low prices</strong>, gamified app tactics,
    and endless "flash deals." But are the products any good? Are the discounts real? What about privacy?
  </p>
  <p>
    This section of the site covers my actual purchases, starting with shelving units—where the savings were
    unusually large compared to big-box hardware stores.

<h2 class="title">Is Temu Legit?</h2>
<div class="section">
  <ul>
    <li>Yes, the items arrived and <strong class="green">cost a fraction of what they would at Home Depot</strong>.</li>
    <li>
      <strong>Quality varies</strong> depending on product category, but my shelving units were surprisingly close
      to the Home Depot equivalents.
    </li>
    <li>The app is <strong class="red">overly gamified</strong> and <strong class="red">borderline predatory</strong>—expect constant pop-ups.</li>
    <li>Privacy is a concern, but that is true for Google, Amazon, TikTok, ChatGPT, and most modern apps.</li>
  </ul>
