Aldi‘s famous hanging egg chair has come back into stock after it sold out online.

The rattan chair is suspended from a powder-coated iron frame and can be used indoors or outdoors.

It has been proven hugely popular thus far partly thanks to celebrity fans of this style of chair, such as the cleaning influencer Mrs Hinch and Stacey Solomon, both of whom have shared images on social media of similar styles in their homes.

The supermarket’s bestselling chair is available to order online from Sunday 31 May and costs £149.99.

News of the chair coming back into stock follows Aldi’s announcement that it would be introducing an automated traffic light queueing system to control the number of customers in its stores.

The budget supermarket launched the new technology in select stores this week.

Under the system, traffic lights will signal when customers are allowed to enter the stores based on individual store customer limits that are in line with two-metre social distancing rules.

When the light signals green, the doors will open meaning shoppers can enter the store.

However if the light is red, the doors will remain closed and customers will have to wait outside until another shopper leaves.

Aldi states that key workers will still be given priority access, adding that these workers are being encouraged to go to the front of the queue with other customers being asked to continue to respect this.
