Aldi launched its Hanging Egg Chair online yesterday and it was an instant sell out.
The gorgeously modern garden accessory is a must-have for summer evenings outside and hot day barbecues.
The funky outdoor furniture piece left Aldi shoppers scrambling to get to the online checkout when it went on sale yesterday and sold out in a flash.
Luckily, if you weren’t lucky enough to get your hands on one, the budget supermarket giant has promised a restock later this month.
The coveted £199 will provide the best seat in the house for those able to snap one up on Sunday June 21.
What’s more, they cost hundreds less than super similar offerings on the market, including one from luxury homeware brand, Oliver Bonas.

The Oliver Bonas Paloma Egg Hanging Chair retails at £325 but is now out of stock in light of the nation’s sudden urge to kick back in a super comfy, swinging chair.
Meanwhile, Wayfair have one almost identical to Aldi’s version for sale, but the Vasilia Swing Chair with Stand costs a whopping £350.
It’s sure to say waiting until the Aldi restock and keeping your fingers crossed for a chance to nab one is the best plan of action if you’re after one of the popular patio piece.
Today I was one of those crazy Aldi shoppers, got to my local Aldi just before 8am to get the garden furniture, in fact everyone was quite civilized. Looking forward to relaxing in my hanging egg chair. Thanks @liz_m_b @mmargieb for assembling it, @ALDIAustralia #relaxing #fun pic.twitter.com/AnEzn0hFJ1

Aldi fans have been flocking to social media to swoon over it too, with loads reporting the seriously high demand.
With some keen to see Aldi make sure that the chairs are spread around more fairly when the next launch comes around, the affordable brand has ensured that they’ll be one per customer next time.
One happy shopper who got their hands on one shared a snap of the new garden addition on social media, writing, ‘Really enjoying my Aldi egg chair @AldiUK.’
