Keyword spamming.   Look at the page source and you'll see it.  For a toilet paper product, the keywords listed are:
    "L I F E , mat, gym, gymnastics, Zooby, hud, animations, exercise, toddleedoo, td, adult, grown up, equipment, toilet, life2, life 2, tp, hygiene, children, adult, grown up"

Report the products for keyword spamming.

I entered Warehouse and even Only under Building Structures and it was returning bungalows, homes, gas stations and night clubs first.

Yeah, but it's so rampant as I had discovered in the past, that I would be reporting hundreds of listings doing that, my finger would break off and or get carpal tunnel syndrome (and I suspect LL doesn't appreciate so many reports). They say to report it, but they really dont want you to 

It could literally be a full time job for a staff member to investigate and unlist all that do it, and they'd probably be busy for a year to catch up.

This is why Google moved away from keywords, and to analyzing contents in descriptions and an article instead, as it is more accurate and prevents people from gaming the system as they did in the past.

"A stylized sculpture of a horse that is black with gold reins, on stone platform and with grass accents" can be searched, and more accurate

"Wooden farm fence with iron rusted gate, and trellis arch for your garden"

"Cute little kitty tabby cat available in colors black, grey and orange. Meows at visitors when they come nearby."
