While Bunnings<\/a> is usually many Aussies’ go-to for hardware supplies, it also has a huge range of homewares that would rival the likes of Kmart, Fantastic Furniture and IKEA<\/a>. The retailer has just released a series of walnut tables and they’re going viral on social media.<\/p>\n

They’re part of the Astin Sinclair\u00a0range and the cheapest item is a side table that only costs $19. A Bunnings<\/a> spokesperson told Yahoo Lifestyle it’s no surprise why they’ve captured everyone’s attention.<\/p>\n

“We know our customers are always on the lookout for stylish pieces at affordable prices, and the Astin Sinclair range delivers just that,” they said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a great example of Aussies wanting to choose pieces that bring function, style and value to their home.\u201d<\/p>\n

What’s new in Bunnings’ Astin Sinclair range?<\/p>\n

One of the items that has left many stunned is the Walnut Harris Console Table.<\/p>\n

It’s one metre in length and only costs $49.<\/p>\n

Bunnings described it as having a “sleek and modern design” with “softly curved legs and a warm wood look finish”.<\/p>\n

Because it’s only 30 centimetres wide, it’s ideal for hallways, living rooms, or behind your sofa.<\/p>\n

Brisbane resident Maddison recently bought it and said it was the “perfect” addition to her home.<\/p>\n

After posting a video of her styling her new piece of furniture, she was flooded with messages asking where to get it.<\/p>\n

“Obsessed with this,” wrote one person.<\/p>\n

“$49!!!! No way, I need this,” added another.<\/p>\n

“This looks SO good,” said a third.<\/p>\n

The console table looks strikingly like Calibre’s walnut console table, which costs more than $600.<\/p>\n

There’s also an Astin Sinclair Walnut Harris Side Table for $19 and a Walnut Harris Coffee Table for just $39 in the new range at Bunnings.<\/p>\n

Those prices are pretty incredible considering how walnut is a premium type of wood.<\/p>\n

But it’s worth mentioning that while walnut is in the name of these products, they’re actually made from MDF, which is typically used in cabinetry.<\/p>\n

They simply have a “warm walnut effect wood look finish” on them, according to Bunnings.<\/p>\n

Bunnings homewares could rival Kmart’s new range<\/p>\n

Kmart recently dropped a new range of furniture that has absolutely lit up social media.<\/p>\n

The Aleks Occasional Chair retails for $85 and comes in a rich chocolate velvet colour, which Kmart describes as “a versatile essential for any living or dining space”.<\/p>\n

There’s the Set of 2 Walnut Side Tables for $59, which can be used as an end table, bedside tables or an accent piece, with a nesting design to allow you to pair or use separately.<\/p>\n

Again, that’s a “sleek walnut finish” rather than being actual walnut.<\/p>\n

The Claire Marble-Look Bedside Table also has a “walnut-look ribbed finish”, and costs $65, while the Claire 3 Drawer Chest has a $179 price tag.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Aleks Occasional Chair ($85), Claire Marble-Look Bedside Table ($65), and Goldie Compressed Lounge Chair ($155) have recently dropped at Kmart. Picture: Kmart<\/p>\n

The Goldie Compressed Lounge Chair quickly became one of the most popular products thanks to its affordable price of $155.<\/p>\n

It looks very similar to the Domo Togo Fireside Chair<\/a>, which can cost up to $8,625, with the colour most similar to the Kmart version priced at $5,995.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Holmes, a home decorator and furniture buyer for Kmart, told Yahoo Lifestyle why this will be very popular across the country.<\/p>\n

SHOP:<\/p>\n

“Accent chairs <\/a>are no longer just functional seating; they are also statement pieces which elevate the aesthetic of a room,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Mixing modern and minimalistic, through materials and colour palette, chairs like the Aleks Occasional Chair or Goldie Compressed Chair are standalone stars in any room.<\/p>\n

“Cosy and plush, these new chairs create a focal point in the room while also delivering on comfort.”<\/p>\n

These are already available online and in-stores, depending on your location.<\/p>\n
