Aldi hanging egg chair: where to buy - and best alternatives available from B&M, Argos and more

As the weather gets warmer, people across the country are looking to once again maximise their time spent outdoors.

It’s around this time of year when getting your hands on furniture like outdoor tables, chairs and parasols becomes a mammoth task - especially if that furniture is a bargain piece from Aldi.

This year, the supermarket have released a stylish hanging “egg chair” which is now flying off the shelves as people struggle to get their hands on one.

Nevertheless, this is all you need to know about how to acquire your own Aldi egg chair - and where the best alternatives are, should the original be out of stock.

What is the Aldi egg chair?

The “egg” part of the name comes from the fact that this chair is shaped like an egg, with the “hanging” part self-explanatory: the chair is suspended in the air by a chain.

The chair, says Aldi, is “solid, sturdy and oh-so-comfortable” and can be easily moved around, whether you want the chair in a sunny spot or would prefer to relax in it indoors.

The egg can be delivered to your door, and costs £149.99 excluding delivery.

It’s got rave reviews on Aldi’s website, with one reading “love, love, love this gorgeous chair...it’s so comfortable and a stylish addition to our house and garden. When the weather is nice there’s nothing nicer than curling up in this with a glass of wine and a book”.

You can check stock of the egg chair on Aldi’s website.
