Dunelm's Spring Sale Nears End with Popular Hallway Storage Bench Discounted
Dunelm's spring sale is set to conclude on Monday, April 20, prompting a rush of shoppers eager to secure last-minute deals. Among the standout bargains is the Estelle Velvet Hallway Storage Bench, which has garnered enthusiastic reviews from customers who describe it as 'gorgeous' and admit they 'fell in love with it'. Originally priced at £149, the bench now costs £119.20, offering a saving of nearly £30, equivalent to a 20% discount.
Product Details and Customer Feedback
The Estelle Velvet Hallway Storage Bench is available in two elegant colours: caramel and bottle green. According to Dunelm's website, it is designed as a hallway essential that blends comfort, style, and smart storage. The bench is upholstered in soft velvet and includes a cushioned lift-up top that reveals hidden storage space, perfect for organising shoes, bags, or everyday items. Additionally, an open shelf underneath provides extra room for frequently used footwear or decorative baskets.
At the time of writing, the bench boasts a 4.7-star rating on Dunelm's website, based on numerous positive reviews. Customer CJH remarked, 'So gorgeous I don’t want to use it as it will get damaged, but it’s great for spare blankets and shoes.' Alice added, 'Lovely little bench, feels good quality and lovely colour. Can easily fit 4-5 pairs of shoes on the bottom and storage great for hats and scarves.' Gilbert shared, 'Fell in love with it as soon as I saw it in the store. It was delivered on time, I was amazed at how well it was wrapped for protection. Fits in perfectly, still loving it.' Shona noted, 'Good quality and finishes off my new hallway perfectly. It's more interesting than the white or grey wooden ones I'd initially been looking at.'
Considerations and Alternative Options
However, not all feedback was entirely positive. One customer named Alice pointed out a potential issue: 'It's nice, however it is a completely different colour to what is shown in the images. It is brown, not yellow like it looks or caramel. Verging on false advertising to be honest. I'm trying to make it work in my space regardless. Also, the handle to lift the seat/lid up and down is fixed on with weak staples and broke after one use. Easy repair, but not the quality I would expect for the price.' This highlights the importance of checking product details and reviews before purchase.
For those interested in the Estelle Velvet Hallway Storage Bench, it is currently available for £119.20 on Dunelm's website. Dunelm also offers an Upholstered Hallway Storage Bench for £79, providing a more budget-friendly alternative. Meanwhile, other retailers have similar products: Dusk sells the Hattie Storage Bench for £169 in black, taupe, and light wood, and Argos offers the Habitat Bournemouth Storage Bench for £150, featuring a white base with a pine top.
As the spring sale winds down, shoppers are encouraged to act quickly to take advantage of these discounts before they expire.
