Dunelm’s shopper-favourite Santorini egg chair in a jade colourway is the perfect addition to your garden this spring
Spring has sprung, and our gardens are beginning to bloom, revealing pops of colour among the greenery. With the warmer weather comes the perfect opportunity to refresh or upgrade our garden furniture, adding both style and comfort to our outdoor areas.
We’ve eyed up a fabulous Dunelm number that might be just what your garden needs for that extra bit of chic. The Santorini Egg Chair, retailing at £249, promises to sprinkle a bit of fun in your backyard with its vibrant colours – from playful multicolour strips to tranquil blue hues (the Jade Mist shade is described as ‘gorgeous’).
Reportedly resilient against the not-so-rare British downpour, the Santorini Egg Chair’s sturdy steel frame is beautifully complemented by its colourful and weather-resistant wicker exterior. It’s not just eye-catching; customers have lavished praise on the Santorini Egg Chair online.
One satisfied buyer wrote: “Lovely chair. It’s comfy with a nice bounce to it. The cushion is just right, and it’s really helpful to have arms on it. There were some chips in the paint on the stand, which is very heavy (as you’d hope). It’s quite tricky to put the egg part together; it looks like there is more wiggle room between bolts joining the two halves than there is. I’m just waiting for warmer weather to put it outside. The hardest part was choosing a colour – I went for ginger, but it’s more of a pinky peachy orange than I expected (hard to capture in a photo).”

Another customer rated the chair four stars, saying it was “really good so far”, though they noted that the black caps that come with the chair have a tendency to ‘popping off’.
But a third chimed in with high praise: “Fantastic egg chair – very deep and ergonomic seat. You can sit with your legs in, and there is still room. It’s the best I have ever sat in. The colours are very modern. I really recommend it.”
“This is the most comfortable egg chair I’ve sat in – so glad I bought it. Easy to put together and keep it outside with the Dunelm cover. I would say a foot rest is a must with this – bought a matching one from Dunelm.,” penned a fourth.
