This popular hanging egg chair adds style to my garden but is it worth the price?

If you told me a couple of years ago that an egg chair would be the most important piece of furniture to ever grace my garden I would have probably laughed in your face. I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong though, and on this occasion I am.

The egg chair trend is showing no signs of dwindling and Brits seem to go crazy for them. I struggle to keep up with just how many times Aldi has sold out of their version, and I can only imagine that shoppers must book the dates in their diary for when their restock is due.

I've always wondered why people love them though? Because let's face it, they are quite expensive, (the Aldi version retails at £189.99 so I can understand why this goes first), with the average one starting from £200 onwards depending on size. There's also the question of do you really want to spend that much money on something that's going to be a massive upkeep in our, not-so-predictable British weather, if you choose to have it outdoors? The constant covering and uncovering must get quite annoying.

Temperatures have also risen recently with spring well and truly making an appearance, so now was a good time than any to test it
