Debenhams just made me do a double-take with this bargain designer-look outdoor sofa

It's official, Debenhams is the place to be shop garden furniture this week and I've found an incredible 6-seater outdoor corner sofa deal to prove it.

I'm no stranger to rifling through the Debenhams website in search of a bargain, reminiscing about when the department store was one of the cornerstones of the Great British high street. However, it's now what I'd have considered one of the best places to buy garden furniture, but the recent garden furniture deals stopped me in my tracks.

Not only did I find one designer-look outdoor corner sofa on sale, undercutting what I already consider a great value price for a similar style sofa at John Lewis. But I found three other versions in the Debenhams garden furniture sale that all look expensive and come in at under £1000.

I'm a sucker for an elegant L-shaped outdoor sofa. I'm personally not a fan of the rattan versions that were so popular over the last few years and preferred the functionality and looks of these paired back styles with built in side tables.

It was the Debenhams outdoor sofa above that caused both me and my editor to issue audible squeals of delight, we'd seen sofas like this before, but for under £1000? This was a first.

Both of the L-shaped sofas above are made from aluminium frames and furniture covers. However, you will need to store the cushions indoors, especially in wet weather to keep them in good condition.

While I do think the Debenhams outdoor sofa above is a great deal, I understand that a £900 garden sofa is still out of reach when you're looking for budget garden ideas. However, Debenhams came up trumps with three alternatives at slightly lower prices with a similar high-end look.

These deals won't stick around for long and if you want to upgrade your outdoor space in time for the bank holiday - it's meant to be a warm one - you better start ordering fast.
