SHOPPERS eager to get their hands on Aldi’s famous garden chair are in luck, as it’s made its long-awaited return.
The swinging egg-chair was in high demand last year, but not everybody was lucky enough to nab one.

The grey statement piece is part of Aldi’s Specialbuys collection and it went live at 8am today, February 13.
For those unfamiliar, Specialbuys are products launched by the low-cost supermarket every Thursday and Sunday to cover a range of activities and hobbies, like camping, fitness, or DIY.
Some items are available both in-store and online. But others, like this chair, are only up for grabs via Aldi’s website.
Specialbuys items can sell out very quickly – and once they’re gone, they could be gone for a while or even permanently, causing a shopping frenzy.
So far shoppers have been successful, nabbing a chair of their own since stock hit the site this morning.
That’s not to say they weren’t faced with massive queues ahead of the launch – one shopper found herself in 28,661st place.

There’s still stock left for now, but the popular garden item has previously sold out instantaneously, and not just on one occasion.
Variations of the chair made multiple appearances on Aldi’s website last year and back in 2020, giving customers more than one chance to cop the bargain for themselves.
In the past, as many as 75,000 people were in the queue for the popular chair, so it’s no wonder many missed out on the item.
But the return of the furniture piece this weekend gives those previously left empty-handed and disappointed, another stab at the product
Shoppers have already been thrilled to snag their own order today. They shared their thoughts on Twitter.
One said: “Sunday morning couldn’t get any better, managed to secure Aldi’s egg chair.”
Another said: “Wooohoo, got one!”
Celebs such as Stacey Solomon and Mrs Hinch, both home-styling gurus, have egg-shape chairs themselves, making them all the more desirable.
This one is made out of rattan and lined with cushions, so customers can swing away comfortably all day.
The item can go both inside and outside, as the chair is weather resistant and comes with an optional cover for an extra cost.
If you’re fast enough to get one, (or, it seems, if fate is on your side) it’ll set you back £189.99 on its own, or £199.99 with the additional zip-up cover.
Delivery costs also apply.
Standard Specialbuys items over £30 are free to deliver, but large items cost £3.95, and extra large items cost £9.95.
If you miss out on the egg chair launch this weekend, not to worry.
The Sun has discovered a couple of similar style chairs available without the wait.
The Range offers a hanging egg chair for £249, available to purchase now and free to deliver.
OnBuy is also selling a similar chair for £103.99.
You should always shop around for better deals before making a purchase.
If you’re looking to build up a garden ambience, Aldi also has people talking about their outdoor log burner – another fan favourite.
Not only has Aldi hyped customers up for the egg chair, but it has also announced it’ll be selling the cheapest dozen red roses this Valentine’s Day.
And for makeup obsessed shoppers, the budget-friendly supermarket has released a dupe of famous Nars products.
