Koko shared the transformation of the shipping container in a TikTok video.
And while Koko loved the finished results, trolls claimed it was awful and that her boss should have at least given her a toilet or running water.
In the short clip, she revealed the family bought a shipping container to transform it into her bedroom.
The tiny container was a blank canvas and her boss spent months transforming it for her.
He added windows, folding doors, flooring, aircon, heating, lights and even a balcony for her to enjoy.
Six months later the shipping container was ready for her to move in.
She wrote: “I love it and am forever grateful.”
However, not everyone was convinced it was a thoughtful gesture.
One wrote: “They put you in a metal box with no bathroom or running water. That sounds terrible, especially in the middle of the night or if you get sick.
Another added: “I think its great they gave you your own space and even added a balcony but I don’t get why no toilet? Save you a trip outside at night.”
A third remarked: “So when you have to go to the bathroom you have to run to the house – doesn’t sound too nice to me.”
Koko replied to one commented and revealed they would be putting in a toilet at some point.
While some trolls could only focus on the negatives, there were plenty of people who were impressed by the transformation.
One commented: “This man : builds an amazing bedroom by hand for someone who is not his own child, The comments: why it ain’t got a pool.”
Another penned: “ITS HER OWN BEDROOM. NOT A MINI HOUSE. why is everyone missing the point here?”
A third wrote: “I think your all missing the point it’s a room for her to have her own space away from everyone I think what a lovely idea.”
