The furniture piece is currently on sale at a reduced price from the popular supermarket.
A shopper shared the deal in the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Home Bargains UK.
Bargain buy
The Wankast Wall Unit Koopman Cabinet Large is available for just £15 from Morrisons.
However, the sale signage prompted customers to act fast, reminding them "when it's gone, it's gone".
The minimalist shelving unit can be used to display everything from houseplants to ornaments.
Interior design approved
Interiors experts at Lahart Carpentry explained the benefits of adding wall units in your space.
They pointed out that built-in shelves can help to utilise vertical space.
"To maximise space efficiency, incorporating built-in shelves that use vertical space is a smart design choice," the pros said.
"Maximising storage is essential in smaller rooms, and vertical shelving allows for more items to be stored without taking up valuable floor space."
As well as helping to boost your storage, wall units can also give the illusion of a bigger space.

"Creating height with built-in shelves draws the eye upwards, making the room appear larger and more spacious," the experts explained.
"Functional elegance can be achieved by incorporating built-ins that not only serve a practical purpose but also enhance the overall aesthetic of the room.
"By strategically incorporating vertical built-ins, one can create a room that not only looks bigger but also functions more efficiently."

Dunelm's top interior design trends for 2025
Maximalism
Maximalism is about unleashing your creativity and bringing joy to everything around you, day in and day out. Bold pattern combinations of florals, checks and geometrics set the tone with a bright joyous colour palette that holds everything together.
Don't mistake Maximalism for having loads of stuff, it's about mixing and matching florals, layering key pieces and storytelling throughout your home, and ultimately doing things your own way. Dunelm's new collaboration with Sophie Robinson is all about that.
Minimaluxe
The interiors world has witnessed the evolution of "minimalism" into a richer, more luxurious iteration. The goal is quiet luxury - simplicity with a sense of sophistication.
Minimaluxe focuses on creating spaces that are pared down yet warm, elegant, and inviting. Gloriously tactile textures, in a palette of warm neutrals, with hints of caramel and gold, complete the look. Introducing softer forms and round edges to avoid a space feeling overly stark
The Edit
Built on the philosophy that having fewer thoughtfully designed and well-made things helps us leave a lighter imprint on the earth. Interior design is shifting to be inspired by the natural world, and all its perfect imperfections.
Take Dunelm's The Edited Life collection, it focuses on natural materials like wicker, jute and linens - as well as décor pieces and hand-thrown pottery vessels that feature forms dictated by the artisan's mark. Soft relaxed fabric textures mixed with uneven wood grains help bring this neutral, look together.
New Nouveau
Blending 19th century inspired maximalism with a contemporary colour palette this collection takes inspiration from the ornamental art form from the Nouveau era. Rich and luxurious, blending a little bit of history with a more modern aesthetic you can mix and layer into your home.
Stylised Lily motifs adorn sumptuous textiles and wallpapers mixed with marbling & stained glass vintage style lighting for a vintage inspired look, with a modern twist.

Emma Raducanu gives new insight into her lovelife amid Carlos Alcaraz romance rumours
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMA RADUCANU gave fresh insight into her lovelife after the Carlos Alcaraz romance rumours. Raducanu and Alcaraz announced they have teamed up on the court for the US Open mixed doubles event in New York. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Emma Raducanu made a cheeky comment about 'heartbreaks' Credit: PA 5 The British tennis stay played down suggestions of a romance with Carlos Alcaraz Credit: Getty But there have been suggestions the duo are linking up off it, too, especially after she watched the Spaniard in action at Queen's. A source exclusively revealed to SunSport the pair had a 'spark' and arrived at Queen's within minutes of each other amid suggestions of spending cosy days together. But Raducanu played down their possible relationship by giggling "we're just good friends" before Wimbledon started. However, after Wednesday's emphatic Centre Court victory over Marketa Vondrousova, she joked she had never been heartbroken. READ MORE ON EMMA RADUCANU 40 LOVE-TRIANGLE? Inside the world of 'lone wolf' Emma Raducanu & her strict dating rules Among the VIPs in the Royal Box for the match was Olivia Rodrigo, fresh from her Glastonbury headline set. Raducanu claimed she did not know who was in the posh seats when she spoke in her on-court interview, insisting she was so focused on her match to notice. When speaking to the BBC, though, she confessed she had spotted golfer Tommy Fleetwood. But when told American singer-songwriter Rodrigo was in the crowd, Raducanu came back with a quick and cheeky response. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS The Brit, relaxed after booking her third-round date with world No1 Aryna Sabalenka, quipped: "She's got some great heartbreak songs. "If you're ever going through it, she's the one." Carlos Alcaraz claims he 'will do whatever she wants me to do' in revealing Emma Raducanu interview after Wimbledon win The BBC interviewer replied: "Thanks for the advice." Then the tennis ace laughed: "I wouldn't know though, of course not." Raducanu - who was told she was banned from having a boyfriend by her parents growing up - previously went out with billionaire heir Carlo Agostinelli, a former Harrow School head boy. Ex-Tottenham academy footballer Carlo is the son of tycoon Robert Agostinelli. The couple got together in May 2023 and were arm-in-arm at Paris Fashion Week as well as enjoying luxury holidays together in Greece and Mexico. 5 Wimbledon 2025 LIVE - follow all the latest scores and updates from a thrilling fortnight at SW19 But after they split up, they unfollowed each other on social media. On her relationship with Alcaraz and how they became friends, Raducanu said: "I've known him for years. "Wimbledon 2021 was the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021. "We have a good relationship still. He's obviously overtaken me a lot, but it's nice that we have that from a while ago. "I think for all of us, we really kind of value those connections that we had from when we were young because when you become a bit more known or a bit more successful, you just find yourself reverting back to people you knew from a young age because you're like, that's a real genuine connection. "Because it becomes very busy and you have a lot more friends but the ones that you've known for a long time mean a lot more to you." 5 Olivia Rodrigo watched Raducanu in action on Centre Court Credit: Getty

The five household items that will keep pesky flies out of your home – clever hack with your fan is just the start
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NOW that summer has officially arrived and the temperatures have gone up, many homeowners may have noticed more and more flies appearing in their houses. This is because this is the time of year that pesky bugs love the most, as the warmer, brighter days boost their energy levels. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Homeowners will notice an increased number of flies in the home over summer Credit: Getty - Contributor 5 But there are easy ways to get rid of them - including a clever trick with a fan Credit: Getty The start of summer marks the start of their mating season and they can all emerge at once to begin reproducing. Not to mention, there is also increased food availability, meaning they are often on the search for a tasty snack. So it's no wonder that homeowners across the country will be trying all different tips and tricks to keep them at bay. But luckily, you don't have to spend a fortune on professional products to banish flies from your home. Property experts have revealed that five common household items can help keep your home pest-free. Paul Gibbens, property pro at said they work wonders for the home during warmer months. The key to keeping flies out is consistency. Use these methods together for best results, particularly during July and August Paul Gibbens He said: "The summer heat creates perfect conditions for flies to multiply rapidly. 'What most homeowners don't know is that simple items already in their homes can help deter flies better than expensive products. "The key to keeping flies out is consistency. Use these methods together for best results, particularly during July and August when fly populations reach their peak in British homes." Stressing the importance of basic hygiene, he added: "Keep food covered, clean up spills immediately, and empty bins regularly. These simple habits make your home much less attractive to flies in the first place." 'These miracle bags should be in every home,' says mum who created a cheap hack to prevent flies from entering your home 1. Apple cider vinegar and cling film This combination works wonders in catching flies in the home and stopping them from travelling from room to room. All you need to do is fill a glass with apple cider vinegar, then cover it with cling film and poke holes in the top. The flies will smell the sweet, fermented scent and try to get to it by entering through the small holes. However, they will get confused trying to find their way out and will end up stuck inside the cling film. The experts also added that this mixture works best when placed in areas where flies gather most frequently, such as near fruit bowls or bin areas. 2. Citrus peels Most people throw away their lemon, lime, and orange peels - but did you know they can help get rid of flies? The fruit peels contain d-limonene, which naturally repels the pesky critters. So before you go tossing them in the bin, rub the pells along areas like windowsills, as this will create a barrier that flies won't cross. Or, even better, leave them in small bowls around the house. This method works particularly well for house flies and bluebottle flies, which are among the most common household fly types in the UK. 5 Leaving citrus peels around the home can naturally repel the critters Credit: Getty 3. Direct fans towards open windows Fans can become a Godsend in the summer weather, quickly cooling down a room as the temperature rises. But they also work wonders in helping get rid of flies from the home - and it's a clever trick that requires no prep. Whether you're lying in bed or working at your desk, all you need to do is direct your fan outside your open window instead of into the room. Small insects do not have the strength to fly against the wind created by household fans. So, directing fans out of an open window will blow the flies away, keeping them from getting in. People are just realising the right way to use your fan to get hot air out of the house A FAN has become a staple for millions of households across the UK - but while many of us may blow the cool air directly at us, turns out there's another way to use the fan - and it may be more beneficial. According to savvy TikTokers, there's a 'right' way to use the apparatus in the sweltering weather - and many have dubbed it ''a game-changer''. Rather than blasting the cold air at your body, some social media users advise to place the fan by an open window, facing away from the room. This, one savvy man, Simon Johnson, recently explained will ''suck the hot air out of the room''. To effectively use a fan to remove hot air from a room, position it to exhaust hot air out of a window, while simultaneously opening a second window on the opposite side of the room to draw in cooler air. For the ultimate cooling effect, you could also snap up an extra fan - and have its cool air blow directly at you. ''I'm definitely not melting tonight,'' said Simon, from South Wales. And it's not just the Welsh lad who's been raving about this easy hack - another TikToker, Alex The Cleaner, shared how she was keeping cool thanks to simply repositioning her fan. She said in the video: ''Whoever posted this hack - thank you. 'I feel like I can breathe the air again. ''This feels so wrong but it works so well the fan sucks the hot air out of the room and honestly it works.'' 4. Essential oils can make a natural repellent Another trick that Paul suggests homeowners should try is to create a simple spray using common kitchen ingredients that repels flies - but without harmful chemicals and an unpleasant scent. To do this, mix equal parts water and white vinegar with 10-15 drops of essential oils in a spray bottle. Anything like eucalyptus, lavender, or lemongrass should work perfectly. This solution can be sprayed around windows, doors, and other entry points without damaging surfaces or posing risks to children and pets, unlike some chemical alternatives. These scents not only deter flies but will keep your home smelling fresh, too. 5 Experts suggest mixing eucalyptus essential oils with water and white vinegar in a spray bottle Credit: Getty 5. Grow fly-repelling plants If you don't fancy making your own spray, then an even easier thing to try is to buy plants that naturally repel flies. Certain plants, including basil, mint, lavender, and rosemary, act as natural repellents for all kinds of insects. These contain natural compounds that flies find offensive, but humans find pleasant. Paul recommended placing these plants on windowsills and near doorways where flies typically enter homes. Plus, they can also work for being fresh herbs in your cooking!
