Direct answer

Photograph the delivered item and packaging, preserve the advertisement and ask the seller to address the specific mismatch.

Compare material, colour, measurements, included pieces and visible construction against what was promised, while allowing for ordinary screen differences. Report the issue promptly and avoid altering the item before the seller's process is clear. Keep payment and delivery records. The available remedy depends on the purchase terms and applicable law, not simply on whether the marketing photograph looked more attractive.
