Garden furniture deals: 6 cheap but chic sets for under £350 to jazz up your garden
BRITS looking to get a tan in comfort this summer might want to buy some garden furniture for when the weather picks up.
With the nation set to enjoy a mini-heatwave next week and temperatures set to reach a balmy 20C, you might want to get yours now and beat the rush.
You’ll also be able to invite people over to make themselves comfortable on your haul from March 29, as lockdown restrictions ease further.
Six people - or two households - can mix outdoors, so Brits can finally host garden parties and barbecues again in their back garden.
But many furniture sets can be a little pricey, so it’s hard to know where to get the cheapest deal.
We’ve found six sets that look great, but won’t break the bank.
Although all of these items were in stock at the time of publishing, there's high demand for garden furniture at the moment, so they may sell out fast.
We suggest bagging a set sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.
Argos - Argos Home 6 Seater Rattan Effect Sofa Set - Dark Grey
- Cost: £350 -
It may be the priciest on our list of picks, but for £350, this sofa set from Argos can seat six people - so it’s great for big families.
It comes with two chairs, two stools and a sofa that sits two people.
However, Argos says there is limited stock available, so you might want to buy one soon.
We couldn’t spot the same set going for much cheaper elsewhere.
But this similar looking which can seat four people might be better if you’re looking for something smaller.
Also, it’s £110 cheaper at £240, so it's wallet-friendly.
Habitat - 2 Seater Wicker Barrel Bistro Set - Charcoal
- Cost: £180 -
This set of chairs from Habitat is going for £180 - and we think they look very chic.
It reminds us a little bit of Aldi’s sell-out hanging egg chair - so if you missed out on bagging one earlier this month, this could make for a nice replacement.
The table also has a lid, so you can store blankets in there if it turns a little chilly - or keep your booze cool on hot days.
However, Habitat says there is limited stock available, so you might want to act fast.

Marks & Spencer - Lois 4 Seater Garden Table and Chairs

Want to add a splash of colour to your garden? These teal-coloured table and four chairs from Marks & Spencer could help.
They’re made out of metal, and a powder coating has been added to protect the set from tarnishing or losing its bright colour.
However, if the colour is putting you off, this could be a better choice - and at £280, it’s also nearly £20 cheaper.
Wayfair - Hale 4 Seater Sofa Set
- Cost: £260 -
If you like the modern look, this black sofa set from Wayfair might be a nice addition to your garden.
