Aldi’s anticipated rattan corner sofa doesn’t launch until the end of April, but this 3 piece garden furniture set will arrive in time for the bank holiday weekend and is £25 cheaper
Aldi shoppers have been eagerly waiting for the return of its sold-out rattan garden furniture, which sold out in the blink of an eye last year. The supermarket’s rattan corner sofa isn’t set to launch until April 27, where it will cost £199.99.
However with the Easter bank holiday weekend approaching, now is the time to get your garden set up sorted, and this RELAX4LIFE 3 Seater Rattan Garden Corner Sofa Set is a great pick. Not only will it arrive between April 19 and 22 (which means it should be here in time for Easter hosting) but it’s also £25 cheaper than the Aldi version, costing £174.90.

The Aldi rattan sofa fits three people and comes with an additional ottoman, which can be used as a footstool, extra seat or even a coffee table. However the RELAX4LIFE 3 Seater Rattan Garden Corner Sofa Set includes a three seater sofa, a footstool with cushion, and an additional glass-topped coffee table, giving you three pieces of furniture for under £175.
It’s made from solid steel with a woven rattan covering, and comes with thick padded cushions with removable and washable cream cushion covers. The sofa measures 153 x 60 x 83 cm making it a decent size for having guests over, and it’s easy to move around and reconfigure depending on your outdoor space.
It’s already racked up an impressive 4.5 star rating on Amazon thanks to its comfort and how easy it is to put together.
One shopper said: “Love love this! Really easy to put together, everything organised into labelled bags. The allen key was a bit fiddly so used a screwdriver which was much quicker. Looks much more expensive than ones I’ve seen for more money! Good quality frame especially and so comfy! Fell asleep on it on day 1! Winner to me, worth every penny and more: an absolute bargain!”
Another added: “Nice quality, comfortable seat at decent sitting height. Putting together was easier than other types, as has self tapping screws/bolts. Instructions easy to follow. Decent cushions, Good price.”
One did find an issue with the sizing, writing: “Smaller than it looks on pics.”
“This product met expectations. Excellent for the price, easy to assemble and looks lovely. Arrived within the timescale allocated. Cushions could have been a little bigger but overall very happy with my purchase. Definitely worth the money!”
If you prefer the corner sofa style, this Yaheetech 5 Pieces Patio Furniture Set is priced at £199.99 and features four sectional sofa pieces and a glass topped coffee table. You can configure the sections into a two seater sofa and two pouffes, into one long four seater, or a corner sofa.
