DEBENHAMS may have shut all its physical stores in 2021 but the retailer is still trading online, flogging egg chairs for just over £100.
The iconic British retailer first said goodbye to its physical locations three years ago but operates a website selling homeware and more.
They are currently listing 172 egg chairs, several of which are heavily discounted.
Their Alivio Hanging Egg Chair Basket Chair comes to just £134.99 on their website, a staggering reduction of 66%.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and coloured in trendy neutrals, the swinging chair was initially priced at an eye-watering £399.99.
Debenhams claim the “elegant hanging egg chair is designed as a great focal point for any garden” and “ideal for the decking, patio, lawn or slabs”.
It takes around 20 minutes to build and can be returned within 28 days if you’re no longer keen.
Reviewers describe the garden accessory’s grey cushion as “comfy”.
And if you’re not too fussed on the sleek design of the Alivio chair you can always opt for the Neo chair.
The monochromatic design features a black cushion and only costs £151.10, down by almost 50% from £299.98.
Fans of the Neo chair say it’s “great looking and very comfortable”.
Since its liquidation, the brand has since been acquired by fast fashion behemoth Boohoo and often holds sales across the seasons.
The London-founded department store first faced issues in 2019 when it went bust.
It then left the high street for good in 2021 after struggling to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.
In April 2019, Debenhams first went into administration, wiping out equity investors – including Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct.
The move saw 50 stores shut permanently, as well as rents reduced across dozens of other branches.
While the business continued to trade, it was forced to shut several stores along the way.
It then fell into administration for the second time in April 2020.
It was at this time the popular high street store announce it would be closing seven UK stores and cutting 422 jobs.
Its stores were closed in line with government guidance following the coronavirus outbreak which brought on the downfall of several high street retailers.
During the pandemic, the retailer said it would “work to re-open and trade as many stores as possible” when restrictions were lifted.
However, its Irish business, which was made up of 11 stores and employed around 1,400 staff ceased trading.
The retailer staggered the closure of its branches and announced the closure of its flagship Oxford Street shop in January 2021.
