Dunelm customers snap up ‘trendy’ £69 chair that ‘brightens up the backyard’
Designed in collaboration with Sophie Robinson, customers say the chair is ‘comfortable’ and ‘looks great’
Dunelm has launched a striking new garden chair just in time for summer, and shoppers are already rushing to get their hands on it before it sells out. Created as part of the retailer’s collaboration with designer Sophie Robinson, the Pavilion Carnation and Watermelon Garden Chair is as bold and cheerful as its colourful name suggests.
Designed to brighten up outdoor spaces, the chair features an acacia wood frame paired with an eye-catching orange and pink striped wicker weave. It also comes finished with a PU varnish coating to help protect it from the unpredictable British weather.
Priced at £69, customers have praised the chair for offering “excellent value for money”. Its standout design gives it a far more premium look than the price tag suggests, making it a distinctive addition to any garden or patio.

That’s not to say there aren’t alternative colourful garden chairs available, should this Dunelm piece not suit your preferences. At Debenhams, shoppers can purchase a complete Metal Bistro Chair and Table Set in bright pink, reduced to £69.99 from £119.99.
Customers appreciate that the furniture can be folded away and arrives ‘already assembled’. By contrast, Dunelm’s garden chair is ‘a bit tricky to assemble on (your) own’, according to one reviewer, though this didn’t detract from it being ‘a beautiful design/colour’ and ‘great quality’.
Stylish garden chair

Shoppers say it effortlessly adds ‘a splash of colour’ to an outside space, featuring a chic acacia wooden frame with orange and pink striped wicker weave.
Another Dunelm customer found their chair straightforward to assemble, commenting: “These chairs and the table are very easy to put together and look very stylish and colourful on my patio when most of my garden plants have yet to bloom. I also bought the cushions which make these chairs very comfortable. Would highly recommend”, reports the Mirror.
For those prioritising the striped design, The Range’s Esme Solar Bistro Set could prove ideal. At £149.99 for two chairs and a table, the set boasts a delightful and playful appearance, while remaining comfortable thanks to the padded cushions.
Dunelm’s Pavilion Carnation and Watermelon Garden Chair is also delivering on comfort, as one person explained: “Lovely bright and comfortable chairs that really brighten up my patio.”
Similar sentiments were echoed by another customer who shared: “Really attractive chair, the wood frame is really well made, and the colours are great. Comfortable too.”
Offering a balanced review while still awarding five stars, someone said: “A comfortable and compact chair. The relatively narrow width makes it ideal for smaller spaces and it’s stylish enough to perform double duty inside a garden room or summer house. Would be fantastic to see a folding version of this.”
A recurring sentiment among customers is how Dunelm’s garden chair effortlessly transforms an outdoor area from drab to fab. One individual penned: “Really brightens up the garden, super comfy and beautiful chair.” Meanwhile, another remarked: “Love them great quality love the colours and look great in the garden.”
