Shoppers love Dunelm's 'excellent quality' chairs that 'look stunning' and feel 'comfortable'
Families looking forward to the summer are stocking up on garden furniture, and shoppers love £20 Dunelm chairs that "look fantastic" outdoors. Reviewers have heaped praise on the brand's Rattan Bistro Chair, available in two different colours.
Shoppers can choose between an all-black chair or a natural chair with black accents. The product description states: "This Rattan Bistro Chair is all about comfort and style, with sturdy, metal construction and a durable woven rattan seat and back. Its stackable design lets you store it indoors or out, so you can use it year-round in any room of the house that needs an extra dose of charm."
It's popular with shoppers, who have rated the chair an average score of 4.7 out of five. However, it's far from the only choice for those looking for garden furniture. For instance, shoppers might prefer the Argos Home Resin Rattan Effect Stacking Garden Chair for £14.
The Range offers its Outsunny Garden Chairs Set of 4 Stackable Rattan Effect for £89.99. Or, if you're looking for something different, Next sells Charles Bentley Natural Garden Wooden Directors Chairs for £110.
Reviewing Dunelm's Rattan Bistro Chair, one shopper commented: "Love the colour of this comfortable garden chair. It's solid construction with all weather finish means it will be cheering up my garden for years to come."
Another fan said: "These look fantastic in my garden. Great value for money." Someone else thought: "Excellent quality and value. Looks stunning in my summerhouse/crafting studio paired with a Dunelm Jute seat pad. Highly recommend." Another reviewer added: "This is an excellent garden chair. Perfect size and such good quality. Extremely easy to move around and the price is brilliant."
A shopper shared: "Just what we needed! We don't sit in the garden that often with our variable English weather so did not want to spend a lot of money on new chairs. These fitted with our existing table, are very lightweight, stackable and excellent value. Comfy too!"
However, someone with mixed feedback said: "Quality of the chairs are excellent but... Very small and neat. Not built for a larger person to sit on. We had a slight problem whereby my son in Law could not fit on the chair!!! would recommend though as they are well made."
Another shopper claimed: "I bought 4 of these chairs last year, 2 grey and 2 turquoise. Unfortunately the turquoise ones have split and are not repairable. They have been stored etc in the same way (...). I am not impressed and won't be purchasing again."
A different reviewer wrote: "I bought the Seafoam colour and they have lasted just two seasons - always under a cover, and stored inside over winter. Took them out this spring, and all the rattan is breaking into pieces. What a shame."
Meanwhile, someone wrote: "Very thin coating of paint easily scratched off before I got them home even scratched off under protective packaging cheap and cheerful but not sure they will last more than 1 year and definitely not if left outside."
