Aldi sells out of its rattan egg chair just minutes after new stock is released

Aldi has sold out of its rattan egg chair just minutes after new stock was released this morning.

The supermarket giant brought back the £149 chair today, with thousands of people joining a virtual queue to buy one.

The chair's egg basket is made of rattan, comes with a set of dark grey cushions and is held in the air by a sturdy silver chain hanging from a grey iron frame.

It can also be detached from the chain to be put in any spot in the garden.

Earlier this month, 35,000 shoppers waited online and a "technical issue" caused dozens of customers to miss out on a chair, the Manchester Evening News reports.

This morning, at least 16,000 people were in the virtual queue and had to wait up to half an hour to be able to access the site.

A message on the Aldi website says: "We’re very sorry, but there are currently lots of people trying to access the Aldi website.

"We’ve automatically placed you in a queue.

"Don’t worry about refreshing - this page will update automatically as soon as you can enter the site."

Other products available in the range this weekend are the Kamado ceramic egg barbecue and a chic three-piece rattan-effect bistro set.

The Kamado ceramic egg barbecue costs £349.99, while the bistro set will be on sale for £149.99.

Aldi is also bringing back its sell-out inflatable hot tub this weekend.

Costing £349.99, the German retailer’s hot tub is much less than other versions on the market, which can cost thousands.

The hot tub is big enough to fit four adults, comes with two headrests, and features 135 jets to create heated air bubbles that massage your whole body.

Additionally, the product includes a filter pump, ground cloth, a carry bag, and an insulated cover to keep it protected when it rains.
