Aldi has launched a range of office chairs so you can work from home in style – here’s how to buy one

Give your desk a trendy boost with these swivelling Specialbuys

The budget supermarket is back with more impressive deals (The Independent)

Over the past year, many of us have ditched long commutes and cramped offices in favour of working from home.

But, as what we assumed would be a temporary solution looks set to become more long-term for some, the time has come to create a designated workspace area in our homes.

Whether you’ve had to transform your dining table into a makeshift desk or have been lucky enough to have a spare room to turn into a home office, creating a productive and comfortable working environment for yourself is key.

And, once you’ve picked out a desk, the next step is to find a chair that’s not only supportive, but looks the part too.

If you’re yet to perfect your working-from-home setup and have been experiencing lower back and neck pain from an unsupportive chair, our favourite budget supermarket might have the solution.

After a string of successful furniture offerings, including a bed in a box, Aldi has launched two new office chairs that not only safeguard your back health but also promise to be seriously stylish additions to your home.

And, the best part is that they each cost a fraction of the price of similar styles, which can set you back hundreds of pounds.

From a retro-inspired blue velvet design to a sleek cream chair that will suit almost any interior, snap up these Specialbuys before they sell out.

Give your home office a stylish boost with this blue chair that promises to make a statement.

Upholstered in sumptuous velvet, it is made with sleek silver metal legs, a contemporary curved shape and a padded seat that’s been designed for extra comfort. While the supermarket refers to it as an “accent chair”, it does have a swivel function, which means it would make a comfortable addition to your 9-to-5 setup.

The second chair in Aldi’s home office range comes in two neutral hues – cream and grey – meaning it will fit in effortlessly to any style of decor.

Made with a wooden frame for stability, it features a diamond pattern on the back support and metal legs that are set on wheels so you can move around your room with ease. It’s also adjustable to 95cm, so you can ensure it will keep you comfortable all day long.

With an average rating of 4.3 out of 5, the chair has received a number of impressive reviews from satisfied shoppers, many of whom have called it “great value for money”. “This chair is not only very pretty, but also really comfortable,” one person wrote. “Perfect for my long daily working-from-home sessions. Friends can’t believe it came from Aldi, it looks expensive!”

We loved the Humanscale world chair (£564, Wellworking.co.uk), which was selected as the best buy in our review and while it isn’t cheap, our tester said it is “built with longevity in mind and will look as good in 10 years as it does today”.

(Habitat)

For a more affordable alternative, check out the Habitat Alma chair (£100, Argos.co.uk), which has an eye-catching, modern design. Our reviewer said it features a comfortable backrest that’s made up of four distinct pads that offer just the right amount of support.
