Shoppers were 'thrilled with the quality' for such an affordable price
Some garden sets at Dunelm are currently reduced by at least 30% as part of an ongoing summer sale. One of the "stunning" options had shoppers impressed by a "functional and comfortable" set that "folds away in seconds", perfect for small gardens, patios, or balcony nooks.
The Metal Three-Piece Bistro Set is one of the most affordable sale sets, priced at £55.30 (down from £79). It is available at a discounted price while stocks last, via home delivery or click-and-collect.
Describing it online, store bosses said: "This metal three‑piece bistro set brings a fresh and easygoing charm to any outdoor spot, perfect for relaxed sunny day lounging. With its sleek, modern colourway and simple slatted design, it slots beautifully into gardens, patios, or even a cosy balcony nook.
"The round table and matching chairs are fully collapsible, making them effortless to fold away when you need a little extra space." Similar sets are available elsewhere for slightly more, such as B&Q's Harbour Housewares Two Seater Sussex Bistro Set in Cornflower Blue for £64.99.
Also, Matalan is selling the Scottish Everlastings Blue Metal Bistro Set for £100, down from £125. But, shoppers mostly had great things to say about Dunelm's offer.
One shopper said: "I looked at all available options for the price. I am thrilled with the quality and the look of this product. The colour and finish are first class. I was expecting tinny and cheap for the price. Totally the opposite!"
Another put: "Being metal means ready assembled and sturdy. It looks fabulous and I love the colour." A third wrote: "Looks stunning, just what I needed, functional and comfortable. I love it, can’t believe the price!"
And, one more put: "I bought this in the sale after wanting a bistro set for years, and am very pleased with the quality and weight, unbeatable at the sale price. The powder blue is a gentle contrast in the garden. The wider slats make this very comfortable to sit on for morning coffee."
There are a few reviews overall, totalling just 10. Only one gave a one-star review, which claims: "It looked great when we first opened the box, but on close examination, there were scratches on the chair backs and a crack in the coating on the edge of the table.
"When we put the table up, a weld joining the leg to a support strut popped apart. Confusing info on the website for returns, and no one answering the phone with 16 attempts over three days. To be fair, when we took it back to the store, the staff were very helpful and organised a refund. Not a recommended buy."
But, the majority seemed happy with their purchase. One said: "After searching for a suitable garden table and chair set, I came across a table with two chair bistro set from Dunelm. At a very competitive price, this folding table and folding chair set is perfect for my needs. I can set it up at a moment's notice whenever I wish, then quickly store it away flat, taking up no space at all."
