B&M is selling ‘stunning’ oak coffee table that looks ‘just like’ high-end brand but is £150 cheaper
B&M is selling a coffee table for £150 cheaper than a high-end brand.
With the bank holiday weekend on the horizon, many of us likely have big plans to invite family and friends over for dinner parties or Easter egg hunts for the kids.
But before you have anyone over, you may be thinking that your home is in need of a bit of a spruce up.
And although you may think that buying new bits to jazz up the place will be pricey, B&M’s £40 coffee table proves otherwise.
The new Home Collection Coffee Table has gone viral on social media, with TikToker @Demfitter.xo raving about the product online.
“Got my hands on the new B&M coffee table OBSESSED,” she said in a video that has racked up over 90,000 views.
“It’s the perfect size for my living room and they do a matching side table.”
TikTokers rushed to the comments section of the video to share their love for the bargain buy, with one person stating: “Omg love this!!”
Another person said: “I’d love it in white.”
The round coffee table is “perfect for resting drinks, books or remotes”, according to the B&M website.
The bargain retailer also added that it is very simple to assemble, and has a “stunning light oak finish.”
The coffee table is similar in style to Daals’ Maru Round Oak Pedestal Coffee Table, which is priced at £189.99.
The tables look identical in terms of colour and shape, however the Daals table is made from solid oak.
A product description states: “Meet the new addition to our Maru range, the Maru Coffee Table boasts contemporary Japandi style with a pedestal fluted base made from solid oak.
“Crafted from solid and oak veneer and clear lacquer, each table has its unique natural grains and knots.”
The products also differ in size, with the B&M table measuring approximately 60 x 40 cm and weighing approximately 5kg, and the pricier option measuring 80 x 80 x 40 cm and weighing 14.7 kg.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here’s how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you’ve installed it on your device, click on the option labelled “more” on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You’ll then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. Click on this and you’ll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don’t need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
Anyone hoping to bag the coffee table over the Easter weekend should be warned however, that B&M is closing all of its stores in England Wales and Northern Ireland on Easter Sunday.
Branches in Scotland will remain open as usual.
B&M shops across the UK will be open as usual on the two bank holiday dates during the Christian festival – Good Friday and Easter Monday.
It’s common practice for retailers to adjust their opening hours during bank holidays.
By law, shops in England and Wales larger than 280 square metres in size have to shut on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day.
However, this is not the case in Scotland, with B&M’s Scottish branches remaining open on Sunday, April 20.
