Sitting outside with a cool drink is one of summer's great pleasures. Argos shoppers are praising a 'lovely little bench' that is comfortable even without a cushion and is currently reduced by 30%. The Steel Wicker 2 Seater Garden Bench is down to £31.50 with the code GREEN30.
Features and Design
Ideal for the garden, patio, or balcony, the bench arrives fully assembled and is described as 'sturdy and looks good'.

It measures 104cm wide with a seat height of 41cm and can support up to 220kg in total.

One reviewer said: 'Lovely little bench. Sturdy and good quality! Time will tell on weather resistance. Easy to move around.' Another added: 'Perfect little lightweight bench for the corner of my lawn. Easily moved when mowing, and small and lightweight enough for easy winter storage.'
