I have just moved into a new house with my DH about a month ago. We now have a nice big garden (last house was a terrace with small back yard) and I’d like some comfy garden furniture. I love the rattan style stuff and they have some great stuff at the local garden centre but easily £1500-2000 and that’s more that I want to spend on the garden.
I ordered some furniture from Aldi, in the recent garden sale, two rattan style sofa sets for £400 (£200 each). Long story short, Hermes delivered all the small items we ordered such as garden lights and even the covers I purchased for the furniture. Arrow were supposed to deliver the furniture but didn’t even try (I was home the day they were supposed to deliver) and returned it to Aldi saying delivery was refused. Even Aldi can’t explain why this happened as they were supposed to make three attempts. After several calls and emails with Aldi, they have confirmed the furniture had been sent back to them, a refund was on its way to me and if I wanted the furniture I’d have to try to order it again (though it is out of stock).
So now it’s lovely and sunny and I would Luke some garden to sit outside on. It’s annoying as in the time spent waiting for my Aldi delivery I could have ordered something else.
Anything else in the same price range is not very nice. Granted, I haven’t seen the Aldi stuff in real life so not sure what the quality will be like but a friend said she had some furniture from Next and her friend got something identical or almost identical from Aldi.
Any advice on affordable but nice garden furniture?
I’m tempted but reluctant to order from Aldi and need to decide as I still have the covers and need to return them if I’m going to purchase elsewhere.
