It is no secret that furnishing a home can be an expensive endeavour, but for those of us who are budget-conscious, there is a thrill in finding that piece of furniture that looks designer without the hefty price tag.
This is where a Kmart enthusiast’s latest find at the retail chain can inspire you. Social media user Jessica Mary described her Kmart find – a chic accent chair that could reportedly rival high-end designs at a fraction of the cost – as ‘the best $198 I have ever spent…’
For just $99 each, Jessica purchased two of the Marlo Lounge Chair, which somehow resemble designer pieces that can set you back nearly $1,000. She then placed them side by side in her living room.
Kmart’s Marlo Lounge Chair features a minimalist design with off-white cushions and a sleek black or white steel frame, exuding a modern, minimalist, and sophisticated aura.
Kmart’s description of the chair highlights its sleek profile and practicality, ‘making it a stylish addition to any living space.’
‘This chair will be perfect for your home or office. It is built with a steel frame, making it ideal for everyday use.’
Kmart also wrote that the chair is ‘designed with padded cushions for comfort’ so ‘whether you want to work or relax, this chair will be the perfect choice.’
This savvy find has sparked a wave of excitement among Kmart shoppers, with many echoing the sentiment that Kmart’s offerings ‘just get better and better.’
Comments on the video range from ‘Wow, they look designer’ to ‘Running to Kmart,’ as viewers are eager to replicate Jessica’s stylish setup.
While some speculated that the chairs could double as outdoor furniture, Kmart’s website clarifies that they are intended for indoor use only. When asked about the fabric, Jessica described it as a ‘finer boucle texture,’ adding to the chair’s high-end feel.
It is worth noting that the Marlo Lounge Chair is somehow reminiscent of more expensive alternatives like Temple & Webster’s Lowen Sling Accent Chair, which retails for $949, and their Faust Accent Chair, priced at $249.
