'Pretty and useful' garden storage bench now on sale
This little-known retailer is selling the two-seater wooden storage bench for the cheapest price around
Households on the hunt for the perfect garden storage solution that also doubles up as a stylish seat will want to check out the Outsunny 2 Seater Wood Garden Storage Bench. Shopping marketplace Yimbly (owned by the Mirror's parent company Reach Plc) is selling the 'pretty and useful' bench for the cheapest price around, but that's not all, as our readers can add it to their outdoor space for even less.
The bench can conveniently store gardening tools, cushions, kids' toys and more, and is the perfect spot for basking in the morning sun with a cuppa or a good book. This comfy, high-backed bench costs £119.99 at Yimbly, beating rivals such as Robert Dyas' sale price of £124.99 and B&Q's cost of £132.29.
The Mirror's readers can get the Outsunny 2 Seater Wood Garden Storage Bench for even less, as Yimbly is offering a 10% discount across its website with the special discount code SUMMERDAYS10. This brings the cost of the bench down to £107.99.
Built robustly from poplar wood and finished with a varnish coat, the Outsunny bench laughs in the face of British weather, promising to stand its ground come rain or shine. As reported by the Express, Argos is selling a similar Keter Eden Bench 265L Outdoor Garden Storage Box for £125 that has a durable wooden facade.
Meanwhile, Dunelm's chic Florenity Galaxy Garden Storage Bench costs £339. This option is crafted from Eucalyptus wood, although it doesn't have a backrest.
Only one Yimbly customer has so far reviewed the Outsunny bench, awarding it top marks. They said: "This looks really good at the top of my garden. Great quality and price."
Over on the Robert Dyas website, shoppers have been sharing their thoughts on the same bench. One satisfied customer remarked: "Perfect and exactly what we needed to sit on our veranda/deck. Ideal to store our outdoor cushions in too."
A different buyer gave the Outsunny Storage Bench a four-star rating, stating: "Good-looking, lovely bench... Pretty, lightweight and very useful."
However, they went on to note a few negatives: "Definitely needed a couple of people to help put it together, as it was a bit tricky. The reason for only four stars is that the seat panel has now warped and the joints are coming apart. Also the wrong amount of wooden plugs and a bent hinge."
Meanwhile, another purchaser couldn't be happier, saying: "Good quality seating and storage unit. Makes a really nice change from all the plastic products available."

UK marketing firm Next 15 in talks to sell select brands, shares rise
June 27 (Reuters) - Embattled consultancy and marketing group Next 15 (NFGN.L), opens new tab said on Friday it is in early discussions regarding a potential sale of some of its brands, capping a tumultuous week in which it warned about its profit and disclosed issues at a unit. The British company, whose brands include elvis, Outcast and Shopper Media Group, did not name the businesses it was contemplating selling or the parties it may be in talks with. Next 15 sold its private equity consultancy, Palladium, earlier this month as part of its ongoing efforts to streamline operations. Its shares jumped as much as 14.7% to 238.5 pence, their biggest intra-day gain since October 2022, after the group confirmed a Sky News report that Next 15 was in talks about a sale of "legacy" assets, including financial PR agency MHP. The stock took a dive on Thursday after the company warned that its fiscal 2026 profit would likely fall materially below the market view. Next 15 also named a new CEO to succeed Tim Dyson following his retirement. The company on Wednesday disclosed a "potential serious misconduct" at its U.S.-based venture-building firm, Mach49, which it bought in 2020. Since cutting its profit forecast in September and including Thursday's losses, the group has shed roughly three quarters of its value. Next 15's market capitalisation stood at about 209 million pounds ($286.87 million) as of Thursday's close of 208 pence per share, far from its peak of 1,476 pence in 2022. ($1 = 0.7285 pounds)

Barclays CEO hails possible scrapping of Trump retaliatory tax
LONDON, June 27 (Reuters) - The CEO of Barclays (BARC.L), opens new tab has welcomed indications that U.S. Republicans may scrap the Section 899 retaliatory tax proposal from their tax and spending bill. "The developments on 899 are welcome progress and a significant outcome for a great many UK companies like Barclays that invest in the US and support economic growth in both countries," Barclays CEO C.S. Venkatakrishnan told Reuters in an emailed statement. It is unusual for a British bank CEO to criticise a specific policy of U.S. President Donald Trump. Multinational companies with operations in the United States have been lobbying through industry groups against Section 899, warning about the potential impact on their investment plans in the country. Section 899 would have enabled President Donald Trump to retaliate against countries that impose taxes on U.S. firms under a 2021 global tax agreement that Trump considers unfair. The agreement is "another important sign of the close working relationship between the UK Chancellor and US Treasury Secretary which is critical for UK and US businesses," Venkatakrishnan said.
