Aldi is bringing back its sell-out egg chair and orders open this week

Aldi shoppers who missed out on the viral egg chair are in for some good news as the supermarket has announced the return of its 'most sought after' special buy. The hanging chair sold out within minutes of being stocked online last year.

Demand to get hold of the rattan outdoor chair is expected to be huge, once again, so Aldi is offering customers the chance to pre-order the item on their website from today.

As avid Aldi shoppers will know the chains 'special buys' don't stay in stock for long, which is why signing up to pre-order the item is thought to be the best way to get hold of it. Unlike other popular products the egg chairs will not be available to buy in the dedicated middle aisle.

This year shoppers can choose from two different egg chairs, either the 'Large Hanging Egg Chair' at £344.99 which can be pre-ordered now or the 'Hanging Egg Chair' which is priced at £199.99, which can be pre-ordered on March 19th. Both items come with a waterproof cover to protect the furniture during harsher weather.

The chairs feature a rattan-style dome which makes it look a lot more 'high-end' than its supermarket price point. Although the price may seem on the higher-end compared to other budget items found at Aldi, similar products from competitor brands go for as much as £400 each. Including this Barker and Stonehouse hanging chair which costs £429.

To try and stop the items flying off the shelves as quickly as last year, all orders on Aldi's egg chairs have been restricted to two per person, so shoppers will only be able to add two items to their online basket. This time last year the product was trending on social media, as shoppers rushed to try and buy one of Aldi's egg chairs.

If Aldi's egg chairs are slightly out of your budget then there are a handful of other brands selling similar pieces of outdoor furniture, and may not be as competitive to get your hands on either.

One of the cheapest we've spotted is this steel framed egg chair Coopers of Stortford, listed on Amazon for £179.99. Although not wicker rattan the steel dome still gives it an egg chair look.

This Yaheetech Rattan Chair is listed as an Amazon Choice product, priced at £229.99 it's slightly cheaper than the one from Aldi. The egg chair is in a black-rattan style and has a distinct white seat inner. Amazon also have a 10% discount on this egg chair outdoor cover, now priced at £19.99.

Wowcher, also known for its budget-friendly prices, has a range of hanging egg chair items available to buy with prices as low as £149.99.
