HANGING egg chairs are once again becoming a must-have item as the weather warms up – here’s how you can get your hands on one.
The classic 1960s style, which is a hit with celebrities, has been selling out everywhere as shoppers flock to buy them.

Most of the rattan styles feature a steel frame to help hold the seat while the chair itself is often made with a woven material.
But many of the popular places to buy these chairs on the cheap such as Argos and B&M often quickly sellout.
Aldi shoppers were furious this week after a “technical issue” meant the supermarket’s sell-out £149 egg chair went up for sale early – and sold out in minutes.
Bargain store B&M was last month selling one for £125.
B&M told The Sun it’s rolled out the chair on the back of the success of its other Siena hanging egg chairs.
These have been brought back in stock too, but they cost a pricier £175.
Shoppers have to act fast as stock can go quickly.
Home Bargains had extremely limited availability of a £99 version last year but it is currently sold out online.
If you’re still keen to get your hands on one from the stores listed above, sign up to their newsletters or product alerts to find out when they are back in stock.
Alternatively, you could try one of the below retailers – although they are on the more expensive end of the scale.

There are a host of third party sellers selling hanging egg chairs on Amazon, although many of them don’t have any reviews, so do your research on the buyer carefully before handing over any money.
We found Cumbria-based seller, Cherry Tree Furniture, selling rattan hanging egg chairs on Amazon starting from £259.99 for one in an “azura black” colour.
The black chair has a four-and-a-half star rating from eight reviews.
Delivery costs £19.99 and if you order today, you’ll get it delivered between March 11 and 15.

Unfortunately, all Robert Dyas hanging egg chairs are currently out of stock.
Its cheapest is this LeisureGrow Outdoor Monaco Hazel Egg Chair for £229.99.
This sand-coloured egg chair comes complete with LeisureGrow’s Eden weather resistant cushions.
Delivery is free and takes up to 14 days but you won’t be able to click and collect to your nearest store.
If you’ve got slightly more cash to splash, Robert Dyas is also selling this grey Charles Bentley swinging egg chair for £349.99, plus free home delivery within seven working days.
Wilko has the same Charles Bentley design for £290, plus £5 delivery but is also out of stock.

This York-based company’s sole mission is to “revive indoor rattan furniture in the UK with a contemporary take” – and it has positive reviews on TrustPilot.
Its indoor Berlin Hanging Egg Chair is handmade from natural rattan cane and costs £285. Delivery costs vary depending on where you live.
The only downside to this product is that it does not come with hanging hardware, so you would need to to attach it to a ceiling or beam yourself.
Wayfair – from £239.99

Online furniture retailer Wayfair has a range of different hanging egg chairs on offer, but the Pedro Swing Chair with Stand is the cheapest at £239.99.
It has a sturdy metal base and a cosy, egg-shape seat suspended from a support arm.
The seat is made from weather-resistant polyester and includes plush cushions.
It has 4.6 stars out of 22 reviews and can be delivered for free within two working days.
