‘We love it’ Brits are raving about a rattan garden sofa that’s on sale for huge £370 cheaper – but there are 2 catches
SUMMER is right around the corner which means millions of Brits are racing to get their gardens ready for the sunny season.
And if you’re yet to find a fabulous rattan sofa on the cheap, you’ve come to the right place – as thrifty shoppers have found the ultimate bargain.
According to money-smart Facebook users, the home goods store Studio currently has a mega sale going on – and you can pick up a gorgeous garden sofa with an epic discount.
Originally setting you back an eye-watering £499.99, the Bali Rattan Corner Sofa Set is now going for just £129.99, saving you a fortune.
The sofa, which comes in black, has an L shape that gives you the option to spread out and relax in the summer weather.
The set also comes with an ottoman that can be used as extra seating if you have any unexpected guests – it really doesn’t get much better than this.
Studio’s version comes in hundreds of pounds cheaper than similar sets at B&Q and The Range, which retail for up to £500.
Meanwhile, Aldi’s brand new sofa is currently going for £199.99.
With such an epic price, it comes as no wonder that Brits have been raving about this gorgeous sofa and the quality on the popular
Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
One person said: ”I had this last year it’s amazing..sturdy and comfortable.”
Someone else was also singing praises, writing: ”I got around 8 years out of mine. Fantastic value for the money.”
”I got one delivered last Tuesday & we love it!” a third chimed in.
However, whilst the cut-price sofa is sure to be a hit amongst your guests this summer, there seem to be two catches – a hefty £49.99 delivery fee, as well as unclear instructions how to assemble it.
Many horrified shoppers noted that it took them ages to finally be able to enjoy the sofa, with one woman allegedly spending three hours with her pal.
”I bought this and it took me and my friend 3 hours to build,” the Facebook user warned.
