New Aldi £20 room organiser similar to £70 Argos and £40 Dunelm out Thursday

New Aldi £20 room organiser similar to £70 Argos and £40 Dunelm out Thursday Shoppers don't have too long to wait as the budget-friendly alternative comes out in stores next week Aldi is bringing out a homeware item designed to help keep rooms organised next week as part of a new Specialbuy deal. The supermarket will be releasing a range of 'Home' items on Thursday, October 8, with one particular product sharing features similar to a version from Dunelm. Savvy parents looking to furnish nurseries on a budget may be impressed by Aldi's affordable 'lookalike' alternative to a popular high-street design. The supermarket's £19.99 Sohl Children's Bookshelf is nearly identical in design, size, and functionality to the £40 Kids Harley Bookcase sold by home retailer Dunelm. In the product description, Aldi says: "Keep books tidy, organised, and always within reach with this beautifully crafted wooden bookshelf. Designed for little readers, it encourages independent book selection while adding a stylish touch to any playroom or bedroom." Both pieces of furniture cater to the growing demand for accessible, child-friendly storage. They feature a three-tier open design specifically built at a low height to allow toddlers and young children to easily reach and organise their own picture books. The structural dimensions of the two products are almost indistinguishable. The Dunelm Harley bookcase measures 80cm in height, 58cm in width, and 18cm in depth. In comparison, the Aldi Sohl version stands at 81cm high, 59cm wide, and 18cm deep. Both are manufactured using durable wood composites, feature rounded safety edges, and require flat-pack assembly. The primary differentiator between the two items comes down to pricing and market availability. Dunelm offers its bookcase as a permanent fixture in its kids' furniture collection for £40, with reliable stock availability and multiple colour options, including white, grey, pink, and sage green. Meanwhile, Aldi retails its version for £19.99, cutting the high-street price exactly in half. However, as part of the supermarket's Specialbuys range, the Sohl bookshelf is only released during specific seasonal events, such as its popular wooden toy events. Because stock is strictly limited, the budget alternative typically sells out within days of hitting store shelves, and as Aldi says, 'once it's gone, it's gone'. On Dunelm's website, the £40 bookshelf has an average customer rating of 4.8 stars out of five. In the reviews, one shopper said: "This is a lovely bookcase for my kids bedroom. It was easy to assemble and holds lots of books." A second put: "Perfect for our living room. Doesn’t take up too much room." A third wrote: "Sturdy, easy to assemble, well priced. Needed it to fit a small space and the dimensions were accurate so fits perfectly!" However, one unimpressed shopper said: "Hard to build. Very tacky. Don’t even think about painting it. Cheap and nasty." The Aldi Sohl Children's Bookshelf could also be viewed as a budget-friendly alternative to Argos' Home Maine Bookcase, which costs £72. Both bookcases have a white frame and wooden bars. However, the Argos version is taller at 118cm. Argos says: "With its sleek and sturdy design, this bookcase also doubles as a stunning feature in any child's bedroom, adding both style and functionality. The GLTC Classic Bookcase is the perfect blend of practical storage and stylish design, ensuring that your child's room stays tidy and organised while allowing them to easily access their favourite books."
