Aldi shoppers rave over 'stunning' £20 ottoman £210 cheaper than designer version

Aldi shoppers have been rushing to buy a stylish storage item available in the supermarket's popular Specialbuys aisle - which bears a strong resemblance to a designer version worth over 10 times the price.

The retailer is offering a Velvet Storage Ottoman by Kirkton House for just £19.99, which can be ordered online via the Aldi website or found in selected stores. Described as a "practical and stylish storage solution", the ottoman has an 80.5L capacity is available in three colours to match your home: cream, grey, or navy blue.

Not only does the ottoman come at a bargain price, but it also looks similar to a designer version from Roseland that would set you back a much pricier £229.95, meaning that shoppers would save £210 by opting for the Aldi dupe, the Liverpool Echo reports.

The supermarket shared a picture of the ottoman over on their Instagram page, where shoppers were quick to fawn over its design. "This is actually stunning," one person wrote.

Another customer responded with a heart-eyes emoji, while a third said they were "so tempted" to snap it up. And one shopper who had bought the ottoman left a five-star review on the Aldi website, writing: "Good quality for the price.

"Bought to store kids toys. Feels sturdy enough to deal with two kids - hopefully it will last! A nice navy colour too," they added.

Aldi also shared a £14.99 Decorative Rug available in its Specialbuys range alongside the ottoman, which comes in a grey diamond pattern, grey zig zag or grey and yellow. The "gorgeous" rug has also earned five-star reviews from shoppers, with one person writing: "Very smart looking, surprisingly soft. Machine washable too which is a bonus!"
