The Miami 2 Seater Bistro Set has been spotted online for just £64.50, down from £129 – and shoppers are loving the stylish look and value for money.
Available at Dunelm.com, the set features two comfy chairs and a matching wooden-top coffee table, all in a sleek grey rattan design with contrasting tones to brighten up any patio or balcony.
Based in the UK, Dunelm has become a go-to for affordable garden furniture – and this latest deal is no exception.
The bistro set's powder-coated steel frame and weather-resistant rattan make it a smart choice all year round, even when the temperatures drop.
One satisfied shopper raved: 'Looks so chic in our garden – love the contrast and quality.
"Can't believe it was under £70!'
It's compact enough to fit in smaller spaces, while still being practical for enjoying a coffee or glass of wine outdoors.
You don't need a big garden to get big style.
And it's not the only garden gem that's turned heads recently.
Earlier this summer, the Ibiza Hanging Egg Chair was reduced and flew off shelves, with fans calling it a 'dreamy garden must-have'.
The Seychelles Garden Sofa Set also saw praise for its clean design and comfy cushions, with shoppers saying it looked 'way more expensive than it is'.
Other hot picks from Dunelm's outdoor range include the Sorrento 3-Piece Set, perfect for small gardens and balconies – also spotted at a bargain price in the clearance section.
Dunelm shoppers have also been going wild over a sweet monkey-shaped garden ornament that's scanning at just 75p in store.
Fans say it 'melted hearts across the UK' and adds a playful charm to any plant pot – all without spending more than a quid.
But it's not just the little things getting attention.
One savvy customer managed to snap up a sofa originally priced at £499 for just £49.90 – a whopping 90 per cent off – thanks to a small defect.
The deal came from Dunelm's lesser-known 'Not So Great Condition' section, where shoppers have also grabbed stools and nest-of-tables at jaw-dropping discounts.

What your favorite way of eating eggs says about you, according to a study
Your daily breakfast choice might reveal more about yourself than you imagine. According to a study commissioned by the British Egg Industry Council, your style of eggs can predict everything from your personality to your fashion sense. Over 1,000 adults took a detailed survey about their lifestyle, family life, and, how they cook their eggs. The results revealed that childless adults typically prefer a more leisurely breakfast of scrambled eggs, while those with four or more kids opt for fast fried eggs. The choice might even be linked to your profession - with manual workers, casual laborers, and the unemployed generally choosing fried eggs. Poached eggs Using a mathematical technique called the Generalized Linear Regression Model, the researchers used their survey results to predict character and lifestyle traits based on egg choices. This revealed that poached eggs are generally the favorite choice of fathers with two children. Poached egg lovers are also likely to come from small families themselves, with no more than one older brother or sister. In terms of their personality, fans of poached eggs tend to be the life of the party -you are likely to be socially outgoing and extroverted. You may also have a tendency to wear flashy 'decorative clothing' and have a passion for upbeat music. After all that, it might not come as a surprise to learn that poached egg lovers are also happier than most people on average. Boiled eggs Those who listed boiled eggs as their preferred choice had a greater tendency to be disorganized, careless, and impulsive. This group also scored lower for conscientiousness, which is the psychological propensity to be responsible, organized, hardworking, and goal-oriented. Perhaps related to these points, boiled egg lovers are also more likely to be women and run a greater risk of getting divorced at some point in their lives. Fried eggs According to the survey, fried egg lovers are employed in some form of skilled labor. They are also likely to come from big families, with multiple brothers and sisters and at least four children of their own. In stark contrast to those who like their eggs boiled, fried egg enjoyers are free-spirited individuals. If you always take your eggs sunny-side up, you are probably open to new experiences, are creative, curious, and imaginative. You may also have a better than normal ability to vividly recall your dreams in the morning. Additionally, those who prefer fried eggs are better informed about sex, have a wider array of sexual experiences, and stronger sex drives than average. Scrambled eggs Based on this data, scrambled eggs are the go-to choice for the young professional. If scrambled eggs are top of your breakfast menu, you're probably childless, between the ages of 29 and 39, and likely to live in a city. You are also more likely to be in a managerial or senior-level job and to own your home. Psychologically, scrambled egg fans tend to score lower for neuroticism. That means they experience anger, sadness, or anxiety less frequently and less intensely than other people. However, people in this group are also more guarded and less open to other people. Omelettes If you somehow find time to make yourself an omelette in the morning, then you probably have your life together to an impressive degree. And the data from this study agrees, as people who selected omelette as their favorite were more reliable, well-organized, and self-disciplined. Unsurprisingly, these paragons of virtue are also more likely to have tidy homes. To make things even better, omelette eaters tend to have longer life expectancies, lower rates of divorce and are more likely to be a professional.

The bizarre new trend in the homes of the super rich beloved by Kim Kardashian and Jeff Bezos
When it comes to the super-wealthy, their homes can range from everything from beachfront mansions to glitzy penthouses. But while individual tastes may vary, one trend has emerged among the rich which is beloved by celebrities and elites alike. It appears that premium architecture and a coveted location are no longer enough. Celebrity home stager and interior designer Cheryl Eisen said what the wealthy really want is a fully furnished home. While their massive budgets would allow celebrities to put their own stamp on a home, Eisen says they prefer to outsource the design and often all stick to the same color palette. 'Great staging isn't just about aesthetics, it's a strategy,' she explained. 'It gives buyers clarity and delivers maximum returns for sellers.' Eisen has staged homes for celebrity clients like Kim Kardashian, Robert De Niro, Daniel Craig, and even Jeff Bezos. She staged everything from $100 million penthouses in Manhattan to mansions in Beverly Hills and waterfront palaces on Miami's billionaire's row. She offers her services with two companies Interior Marketing Group and Eisen Design House. After her decades of experience, she's noticed that her celebrity clients are drawn to quiet luxury. They want their spaces to feel calm, and tranquil and gravitate towards neutral tones. The 56-year-old said that not only do homes she stages sell 82 percent faster than the average in New York, they sell well above asking price when fully furnished. Turnkey homes - homes that are ready for living the moment they are purchased - have become the norm in the luxury real estate industry. It's no longer a desire but an expectation, Eisen said. She revealed a lot of the business she is seeing is with vacation homes in Florida, which makes perfect sense to Eisen. 'If you're going to buy a second home, why spend a year furnishing it when instead you can buy a completely furnished home and just bring a tooth brush?' she said. Staging allows clients to imagine themselves in a space, and to feel something when they enter it. 'We want them to walk in and feel really calm and at home and at peace,' she told Daily Mail. 'We stay away from things that are too taste specific that could alienate a specific population,' she said. Eisen said the best design choices for turnkey homes are simple ones. 'Layered, neutral tones and textures, what we're really showcasing is beautiful architecture in the home,' she says. 'The formula for us has always been broad appeal.' It is perhaps surprising that this muted pallet is preferred, given some of the garish taste of some celebrities. Eisen said the rise in buyers purchasing their homes fully furnished and designed has always been a no-brainer to her. 'The wealthy will buy a home and then hire an interior designer and spend a year making it gorgeous,' she said. Whether it's an investment property or a personal home, turnkey buyers can move in on day one. 'You don't have to spend the time and energy on it,' she said. That's a formula that apparently worked for celebrity buyers like Jeff Bezos and Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. Both buyers purchased one of their homes completely furnished, and Teigen and Legend even hired her to redo their Los Angeles residence. The very wealthy have properties in every city, it only makes sense to purchase them ready to go. But, they're looking for different things in different cities. As much as Eisen aims for broad appeal, a vacation home in Miami looks different than a penthouse in Manhattan. 'In New York it's a little edgier, you can put some vintage pieces in there and give it a little edge,' said Eisen. Although she likes to stick with neutrals she said occasionally she adds unique art pieces to tie in a pop of color. In Florida, homes come out a little brighter and more modern. She said luxury buyers like to feel at home and at peace as soon as they step onto a property 'In Florida, since they're vacation homes they want everything to feel very new and fresh,' she said, adding that her designs tend to gear toward, 'warm tones and organic materials'. But despite their love of neutrals, the super rich are reportedly not adverse to an unexpected pop of personality, in moderation. Eisen said luxury homeowners are steering toward eye-catching shapes and statement pieces - even if they tend to stick within the confines of a natural pallet. She's seen curved sofas, coffee tables shaped like guitar picks, and an emphasis on imperfect shapes and materials. 'Those are all in warm neutral, nature tones, it's just created a whole layered organic textured thing,' she noted. However, one of her more outrageous requests in recent memory steered away from the organic, neutral look. Eisen said former Real Housewife of New York, Bethenny Frankel asked to have a zipline installed in her yard. Eisen said she is excited by such projects, which allow her to step outside of her turnkey formula. 'We're always so reliant on a broad appeal that when a client asks us to think outside the box it's an exciting challenge for us.' One of her more recent penthouse designs at Five Park Residence in Miami features bold colors and patterns throughout the home. 'It's all very dramatic, each room has this experiential element,' she said. Still, she's happy doing turnkey designs. Eisen said she'd always hoped the real estate industry would take this turn. 'It's a no-brainer,' she said.

Revealed: What your favourite way of eating EGGS says about you, according to science - and it's bad news for people who prefer them boiled
Everyone has their own preference when it comes to their breakfast eggs. But whether you prefer them sunny side up or hard boiled, your taste in eggs might say a lot about you. According to a study commissioned by the British Egg Industry Council, your favourite way of eating eggs can predict everything from your personality to your fashion sense. And it's bad news for fans of boiled eggs, as the data suggests that fans of this cooking method are less conscientious and run a greater risk of getting divorced. Over 1,000 UK adults took a detailed survey about their lifestyle, family life, and, of course, how they cook their eggs. The rsults revealed that childless adults typically prefer a more leisurely breakfast of scrambled eggs, while those with four or more kids opt for fast fried eggs. Egg choice might even be linked to your profession - with manual workers, casual labourers, and the unemployed generally choosing fried eggs. So, what does your favourite type of egg say about you? Poached eggs Using a mathematical technique called the Generalised Linear Regression Model, the researchers used their survey results to predict character and lifestyle traits based on egg choices. This revealed that poached eggs are generally the favourite choice of fathers with two children. Poached egg lovers are also likely to come from small families themselves, with no more than one older brother or sister. Perhaps due to how much practice it takes to get them right, preference for poached eggs tends to increase as you get older. In terms of their personality, fans of poached eggs tend to be the life of the party. If you like poached eggs, you are likely to be socially outgoing and extroverted. You may also have a tendency to wear flashy 'decorative clothing' and have a passion for upbeat music. Boiled eggs: You are disorganised, careless, and impulsive. You likely have lower levels of conscientiousness and are more likely to be divorced What your favourite eggs say about you Poached eggs: You're outgoing and extroverted, and love of upbeat music. Boiled eggs: You're disorganised and careless. Your chances of divorce are higher than others. Fried eggs: You are creative, curious, and open to new experiences. Scrambled eggs: You may be guarded and less open to others. Omelettes: You're organised and self-motivated. Your home is tidy and you have a low chance of getting divorced. After all that, it might not come as a surprise to learn that poached egg lovers are also happier than most people on average. Boiled eggs If boiled is your favourite way of enjoying an egg, then this study has some bad news for you. Those who listed boiled eggs as their preferred choice had a greater tendency to be disorganised, careless, and impulsive. This group also scored lower for conscientiousness, which is the psychological propensity to be responsible, organised, hardworking, and goal-oriented. Perhaps related to these points, boiled egg lovers also run a greater risk of getting divorced at some point in their lives. Besides this, those who opt for boiling are more likely to be women and probably live in the Southeast of England. Fried eggs How to make the perfect boiled egg Fill a saucepan with tap water and bring to the boil Put your egg (in its shell) in the water for two minutes Transfer the egg to a bowl of cold water, at 30°C (measured with a food thermometer) for two minutes Put it back in the boiling water for two minutes, then in a bowl of 30°C water for two minutes Repeat step four another six times After 32 mins, your egg will be ready According to the survey, fried egg lovers are largely men from Scotland who are employed in some form of skilled labour. They are also likely to come from big families, with multiple brothers and sisters and at least four children of their own. In stark contrast to those who like their eggs boiled, fried egg enjoyers are free-spirited individuals. If you always take your eggs sunny side up, you are probably open to new experiences, creative, curious, and imaginative. You may also have a better than normal ability to vividly recall your dreams in the morning. Additionally, those who prefer fried eggs are better informed about sex, have a wider array of sexual experiences, and stronger sex drives than average. Scrambled eggs Based on this data, scrambled eggs are the go-to choice for the well-to-do young professional. If scrambled eggs are your favourite, you are probably childless, between the ages of 29 and 39, and live anywhere south of Birmingham other than London. You are also more likely to be in a managerial or senior-level job and to own your home. Psychologically, scrambled egg fans tend to score lower for neuroticism. That means they experience anger, sadness, or anxiety less frequently and less intensely than other people. However, people in this group are also more guarded and less open to other people. Omelettes If you somehow find time to make yourself an omelette in the morning, then you probably have your life together to an impressive degree. And the data from this study agrees, as people who selected omelette as their favourite were more reliable, well-organised, and self-disciplined. Unsurprisingly, these paragons of virtue are also more likely to have tidy homes. To make things even better, omelette eaters tend to have longer life expectancies and lower rates of divorce. In terms of demographics, if you like an omelette over other eggs, you are more likely to be middle class. You also probably live in Sheffield, Liverpool, or Newcastle. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? If the question is simply whether chickens or eggs evolved first, the answer is certainly eggs. The first eggs of any kind evolved about 600 million years ago. The first hard-shelled eggs followed about 195 million years ago. Even the first bird eggs date back 120 million years. Chickens, meanwhile, only emerged 3,000 years ago. However, the first specimen of the domestic chicken would have been born to chicken-jungle fowl hybrid parents.
