Lidl's hanging garden chair

Supermarket chain Lidl’s summer garden furniture range arrived in stores this morning and keen middle aisle shoppers were out of bed early to queue for one item in particular: a hanging garden chair.

The Florabest hanging basket chair landed in stores this morning for €219.99 and, if local reports are anything to go by, they were snapped up as soon as the doors opened at 8am.
