Dunelm shoppers have 'fallen asleep' in half price £125 egg chair
Dunelm shoppers have said that a bold and bright garden chair is "super comfy" for relaxing outside during the summer months. Some have gotten so cosy in the now-discounted seat that they have fallen asleep.
The Santorini Egg Chair is on offer for £124.50, down from its usual price tag of £249, making it half price. Dunelm claims that the chair "makes a bold statement" with its "vibrant, contrasting colours and a unique rattan weave" that stands out in almost any garden.
The website adds that this hanging egg chair features a "sturdy, powder-coated steel frame and weather-resistant design." The eye-catching chair is available in two colours - Ashley Blue or Ginger (Orange). A green (Jade Mist) version is listed, but the website claims it is out of stock and cannot be ordered.
There are similar deals on egg chairs to get for the garden and enjoy some British sunshine like The Range's Outsunny Hanging Egg Chair for £149.99. For those who aren't looking for a hanging version, Argos sells this Kora Rattan Effect Garden Egg Chair for £200 or this GoodHome Omalos Beige Rattan effect Egg chair at B&Q for £220.
But, the Dunelm deal has proven popular with shoppers across the UK, with dozens of glowing reviews from people who have gotten so comfortable in them it has put them to sleep. One said: "Great egg chair especially as I got it for half price! I could sit in it all day and have even fallen asleep in it!"
Another added: "Gorgeous chair! Super comfy and super easy to put together!" A third wrote: "Absolutely love this chair. The quality is very good. It was easy to put together took my son around 30 minutes. It's very comfortable with its thick padded cushion."
Another shopper said: "I have been wanting to buy one of these for a while and I have no regrets. The design is really pretty and it's so comfy and relaxing." However, not all feedback was positive as someone else claimed: "The nuts and bolts are of such poor quality that they have cross-thread or snap. I had to spend my own money in Wickes to get decent bolts."
Another customer posted: "Putting it together was a nightmare, took 4 hours and I'm not even sure the bolts are secure as the thread has worn! So praying it withstands our weight."
But, most of the reviews were from people who had a positive experience with the chair. A fifth person wrote: "Comfy and easy to set up, fits perfectly into the garden, beautiful colours too!"
And, one more person put: "Really lovely chair, looks great in the garden. So comfortable. I put it together by myself, just needed help hanging the chair at the end."
The chair is not available for click and collect at Dunelm stores. Instead, people will have to arrange for delivery (which comes with an added £9.95 fee). At the time of writing (July 31), Dunelm claims the earliest this could arrive at someone's home is August 4 but a convenient date can be chosen at checkout.

The 'hypnotic' stingray-like animal that roams our beaches
Though they resemble stingrays, they are generally harmless to humans. Where to find it: Sandy seabeds of the British Isles They're often found buried in the sand, so you might not see one unless you're diving or snorkelling in UK waters. Have you ever seen the Undulate Ray? 😍😍😍 According to the WildlifeTrusts, undulate rays live on soft seabeds like sand and mud, where they can bury themselves underneath the sediment. Instead of teeth, they have crushing plate,s which help them to feed on their diet of crustaceans. Although it is commonly called the undulate ray, it is actually a species of skate (sometimes known as the undulate skate). Skates and rays are closely related and look similar, but you can spot the difference by looking at the tail. Skates have a short tail with small fins and no stinging capabilities, whereas rays have a long whip-like tail. Recommended reading: How to identify The undulate ray is easily recognisable thanks to the dark wavy pattern on its back. Small spines run down the centre of the animal and along the whole tail. Did you know? The undulate skate lays eggs commonly called 'mermaid's purses', which are made of keratin, the same material that makes our hair and nails. You can find empty egg cases along the shore that have been brought in by the tide. So the next time you're walking along a British beach, make sure you keep a wise eye out for this 'hypnotic' spectacle!

I quit the UK for ‘luxury' life in Dubai but it left me at BREAKING point – reality is nothing like the Instagram pics
DREAM OVER I quit the UK for 'luxury' life in Dubai but it left me at BREAKING point – reality is nothing like the Instagram pics Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN who ditched the UK for Dubai has returned home, after life in the city pushed her to breaking point. Natalie Goodall, now 32, made the decision to relocate to the UAE after she was offered a golf coaching job aged just 18. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 A Brit who lived in Dubai returned to the UK after years of working 80 hour weeks Credit: SWNS 6 Natalie moved to Dubai aged 18 Credit: SWNS 6 Natalie and Will are now happy to have returned to the UK Credit: SWNS She jumped at the chance - living with a friend then various family members before renting her own apartment in Damac Hills. Natalie lived in the seemingly idyllic and luxurious city for years until the Dubai lifestyle became too much - because the city's "business model" didn't allow for "work-life balance". After years of working 80 hour, six-day weeks, Natalie moved back to the UK in 2019 and has settled down in West Parley, Dorset. And, while she loved Dubai and says she'll go back for holidays, she said she's unlikely to relocate back there. As swathes of Brits opt to move out there with high expectations of luxurious living and endless fun, Natalie feels that Brits going with high expectations "may be disappointed." Natalie, now a self-employed PGA professional, said: "I never saw myself leaving Dubai - I was working at one of the best golf schools in the world. "And the city was absolutely stunning, on my day off I went down to the beach and when you let your hair down you could have a bloody good time. "But afterwards you'd look at your bank balance and think 'oh crap'. "But the business model out there - there is no work life balance. "I was coming home to my partner after 12 hour days, at 9pm, and I could barely hold a conversation because I'd be so tired. I fled the UK for sunny Dubai - life back home is miserable & no-one has any cash "In my last year I told him 'I can't do this' - you know when your time is up. "It's a very glamorous place and I can see moving there is a trend - but everywhere has their downfalls." At the time, she was making the equivalent of around £25-£30k a year - but the high costs in Dubai meant she couldn't enjoy the full extent of the luxurious lifestyle compared to what people assume. She said: "I was just making money to survive - in the service industry you were worked very hard. How easy is it to move abroad? Brexit means British citizens now have to apply for visas to move to countries within the EU. While some countries residency restrictions are easier than others, here's what you need to do at home before moving: Notify HMRC about your upcoming move. Let your local authority know and provide a forwarding address. Contact your mortgage and utility providers and bank before leaving. If you have paid enough UK national insurance contributions, you can qualify for a state pension abroad - contact the International Pension Centre. You can sign up to the Royal Mail's redirection service. If you have outstanding student loans, contact the Student Loans Centre. If you have children, give due notice to childcares and schools. "I was working six days a week and I couldn't afford to reduce my hours." After meeting her fellow expat partner Will Coan, 34, in 2017, while out there, the pair lived together but Natalie began to "spiral". She said: "You can feel yourself, your work and time management aren't as good, your diet goes out the window. " I never saw myself leaving Dubai but it's not sustainable - as I got older, I started to think, how the bloody hell will I have a life here? "It's not on an individual person - it's just the business model out there." In September 2019, she moved from Dubai back to the UK and got a job in Guernsey, once she had secured the necessary golf qualifications to be a coach. Nine months later, Will, who worked in a role in food manufacturing, finished his contract and moved back to the UK as well. They now own a home together in West Parley and are happier than ever. 6 Natalie and Will would never move back to Dubai Credit: SWNS 6 Dubai pushed Natalie to breaking point Credit: SWNS
