Dunelm shoppers say 'stylish' garden sofa set is a 'real bargain'

Shoppers said this 'super comfy' sofa was a 'real bargain' compared to other offers online
Many Dunelm shoppers are keen to make the most of the ongoing warm weather with a welcoming garden to relax in. With this in mind, the homeware store is offering customers quick delivery when ordering one of its best-selling garden sets online.
Shoppers say its Rattan Sofa Lounger Set is a "real bargain", "stylish" and "ideal for small spaces". It includes a three-seater sofa with a coffee table and an optional footstool that could be used for your feet or double up as a fourth seat.
It comes in a natural shade with white cushions or a grey with darker cushions. Both sets cost the same amount of £329, which several customers say is 'cheap' compared to other retailers.
Measuring just under 190cm long, the 'spacious' 3-seater sofa is "the perfect balance of comfort and functionality", according to Dunelm. The website adds: "The rattan design brings a modern and cohesive look to your garden, blending seamlessly with various styles of decor."
It continues: "Ideal for lounging in the sun or entertaining guests, the thick, supportive cushions ensure maximum comfort, while the table's tempered glass top adds a polished finish." More praise came in the review section as Dunelm customers shared their thoughts on the set, which you can read through below.
There are lots of garden furniture offers available elsewhere, though - just in time for the 27C 'mini heatwave' that experts claim is just days away. There are deals at The Range with this 5-Piece Sofa Set, discounted from £399.99 to £349.99, and this Alexandria Natural 3 Seater Rattan Wicker Outdoor Corner Sofa for £249.99 at Homebase, down from £349.99.
In the reviews of Dunelm's Rattan Sofa Lounger Set, one said: "Great outdoor sofa. It's not too big and fits in the space lovely. Super comfy cushions and the footrest can be in any of the three positions. Great value for money."
Another added: "It's just perfect for my small garden. My son put it together, and it was all straightforward." A third wrote: "Super stylish sofa set. I've bought two of these now. Excellent value and quality, easy to assemble. I would recommend."
There were a few unhappy shoppers though. One claimed: "The furniture wasn't as light coloured as in the picture but all in all I was happy with it. Like another reviewer mentioned, a little shallow in depth too, meaning an adult can feel like they're perching on the edge of it."
Another added: "I really wanted to like this rattan sofa set, but unfortunately, it's just not comfortable. The cushions are the biggest issue – they're overfilled, made from a shiny, slippery material that slides around constantly.
"You can't sit down without everything moving out of place, and they feel hard rather than plush. With the cushions on, the seat area becomes too shallow – it actually feels like you're almost slipping off the edge. I'm only 5 foot and even I can't fully stretch my legs out when using the footstool, so it definitely wouldn't work for taller people."
But, the reviews were mostly positive. Someone else shared: "We love this set. It's so comfortable and looks great. A real bargain!"
And, a fifith put in their review: "Lovely set very stylish and easy to put together I did it on my own within a couple of hours! Would highly recommend. The cushions are well made and deep very comfy."

'Sturdy' Dunelm lounger that's 'made for relaxing' gets 50% price slash

'Very comfortable. Lovely to lie back and enjoy the sun.' One garden essential for the summer months is a furniture set or a comfortable lounger. Providing a space for your friends and family to sit when hosting a party or for yourself to relax and soak in the sun is a must. For those in the market for some new outdoor seating, Dunelm is currently hosting a clearance event that is seeing some outdoor items getting reductions up to 50 per cent. This select sale is set to end on June 21, so shoppers only have a few days left to snap up their favourite garden items. If laying in the garden on a comfortable chair sounds like your ideal summer day, Dunelm has slashed 50 per cent off the Polkadot Monochrome Print Padded Lounger. Normally retailing for £39, shoppers can now snap it up for the bargain price of £19.50. Described as 'stylish and comfy' by shoppers, this lounger is perfect for those who don't have much outdoor space as it can be conveniently folded and stored away when no longer in use, reports Birmingham Live. Boasting a monochrome polkadot design, this sturdy lounger features a metal frame and comfy padded seating for added comfort when sitting with a morning brew or a cool glass of wine in the afternoon. What has drawn most of the customers in is the multi-position design and built-in headrest. Dunelm says that these features will offer "supreme comfort for sunbathing or lounging". Due to the reclining aspect, the dimensions of the lounger are H89/107cm x W90/144cm x D65cm. Polkadot Monochrome Print Padded Lounger £39 £19.50 Dunelm Buy Now Product Description For those wanting something with a bright pop of colour, Dunelm is also selling the Helsinki Lounger. Retailing for £35, this chair is available in aqua, Ashley blue, charcoal and coral. Constructed with durable materials to withstand various weather conditions, shoppers will also be able to adjust the lounger to the optimal sunbathing position. Alternatively, shoppers can buy the Home Folding Metal Zero Gravity Sun Lounger from Argos for £45. With three positions to choose from, the lounger comes with a pillow to provide added support for your head and neck. Once used, the lounger can easily be folded up and stored away. Back to the Polkadot Lounger, many shoppers have praised the chair for its comfortable feel, with one shopper saying it was made for relaxing in the summer months. One happy shopper simply wrote: "Very comfortable. Lovely to lie back and enjoy the sun." With another five-star reviewer adding: "I absolutely love this sun lounger in monochrome, it's so comfortable and many settings so very happy I bought it." However, a few shoppers commented on the locking system, with one person saying: "Although a comfortable lounger they really need to address the problem with the locking system, I know it needs locking into place but it still moves forward so you're having to constantly put it back." In response to this, Dunelm stated that they took the chair off sale to carry out investigations into the locking issue noted. They have since uploaded instructions to the product page to help users safely lock the chair into place - this can be found with the product images. On the flip side, a top reviewer said: "Stylish comfortable sun lounger, perfect addition to the garden ready for the summer sun. Easy to open and put away. 10/10." While a fifth customer praised: "Sturdy, stylish sun lounger, made for relaxing on glorious, sunny, summer afternoons." To buy the Polkadot Monochrome Print Padded Lounger, click HERE.

Shoppers looking for a compact garden furniture set perfect for relaxing in the sunshine are rushing to snap up a popular Dunelm garden set that's now on sale for half price. The Santorini 2 Seater Bistro Set usually costs £119, but is now available for just £59.50, with fans calling it 'perfect for tiny gardens.' Designed with smaller spaces in mind, the compact yet stylish bistro set includes two chairs and a matching coffee table, making it ideal for balconies, patios or petite garden corners. It comes in two contrasting colourways: Jade Mist and a natural tone. Both have been reduced in Dunelm's mid-season sale, although the green set is a slightly more expensive option at £83.30. Other retailers have reduced prices of garden furniture to tempt shoppers as schools break up, with B&Q knocking £110 off the GoodHome Vitello 2-seater Bistro set which would work in slightly bigger outdoor settings. Elsewhere at Amazon, the COSTWAY 3-Piece Patio Bistro Set is available for £69.95. Crafted from weather-resistant rattan and supported by a steel frame, Dunelm's Santorini Bistro Set is built to last through the British weather. Its curved seat design and airy weave also add comfort, ensuring it's not just good-looking and sturdy, but comfortable to sit in too. The included coffee table completes the look and offers just enough space for a book, a drink, or a small spread of snacks, making it a good choice for al fresco moments this summer, even in the smallest of gardens. Garden lovers have been quick to praise the Santorini Bistro Set for its compact and elegant style. One happy shopper said: "A beautiful table and chairs. They look fab and are really comfy." A second person shared: "A lovely two-seater and table bistro set, it's very comfortable, a lovely colour too. I would recommend for a small garden/yard." Another comment read: "Gorgeous small garden set perfect for our tiny garden. It's easy to put together." However, one person noted: "A lovely outdoor bistro set. It's a little low to the ground, which I didn't spot online, but it's very comfortable and looks great."
