Lidl is introducing a new furniture item this week that promises to combine comfort with practicality. The LIVARNO Brown Storage Stool will be available at all Lidl locations starting Thursday, August 20, priced at 99. The supermarket, which operates over 1,000 stores across the UK, describes the stool as a "space-saving and comfortable" seating option that also functions as storage.
Product Details
According to Lidl's product description, the stool features a padded, removable seat and provides internal storage space. It is designed for high stability with a maximum load of 110kg. The dimensions are Ø31 x H41cm, and it comes with a 3-year warranty. The brown cushioned aesthetic is said to suit a variety of interiors, including living rooms, dining spaces, and bedrooms. It can be used as seating as well as for storing blankets, books, and other everyday essentials.
The stool will be sold exclusively in stores, as Lidl does not offer home delivery for this item. Shoppers interested in purchasing it will need to visit their nearest branch.
Comparison with The Range
The new Lidl product bears a striking resemblance to an ottoman sold at The Range. The Round Storage Ottoman Stool, available from 99, comes in grey and beige and measures 40 x 41 x 40cm. The Range's product description highlights its versatility, stating: "This ottoman offers 32L of storage for all your essentials, doubling effortlessly as a chic vanity stool with storage or a cosy storage seat in any space." Another description from The Range reads: "Discover the charm and versatility of the HOMCOM Storage Ottoman, wrapped in elegant corduroy that's both breathable and skin-friendly."
At a glance, the two items are difficult to tell apart, aside from the price difference. Lidl's version is nearly half the cost of The Range's, making it a more affordable option for budget-conscious shoppers.
