Aldi (yes, that Aldi) has been on a roll with their stylish garden furniture lately. Whether you're on the hunt for a bar cart, need storage for outdoor accessories, or looking to create a cozy seating area, this grocery store surprisingly sells it all. At a fraction of other stores' prices, to boot. No wonder it's considered the hidden gem for finding budget-friendly patio essentials. Don't believe us? The $50 Belavi Rattan Chair with Ottoman is a prime example. This fan-favorite Aldi find practically flew off the shelves last year, but the good news is that it's once again back in stock.

Let's go over the details. First, we have the armchair, which features a rattan seat and backrest, paired with a sleek black metal frame. A padded cushion ensures comfortable lounging, plus the cover can be tossed in the washing machine in case it gets dirty. FYI, the chair measures 26 inches wide by 26.57 inches deep by 33.26 inches tall. This one can support up to 353 lbs. Then there's the matching ottoman at 17.3 inches wide by 20 inches deep by 9.8 inches tall, with a weight capacity of 179 lbs. Just like the seat, it comes with a soft cushion to plop your feet on or serve as extra seating.

Perhaps our favorite thing about the 'Belavi Rattan Chair with Ottoman' set is its unfussy, versatile design. It doesn't matter if your exterior leans modern, traditional, or even bohemian — these pieces of furniture will fit right in. You can always perk up your patio with colorful pillows and a rug underfoot if the set looks too simple. Oh, and did we mention the ottoman is stowable? You can tuck it right underneath the armchair when you're not using it to maximize your outdoor living space.

Of course, we did some digging to see if the $50 price tag comes with a catch, leading us to mixed reviews on the quality. "Great quality for the price. I snagged 2 for our back porch," one person wrote on a post in the 'ALDI Aisle of Shame Community' Facebook group. Yet, another one complained about how theirs deteriorated quickly. "We bought chairs for the deck with metal arms. They rusted in a few months," the comment reads on the Aldi Reviewer fansite. The reviewer goes on to say, "They are not sealed up and rusty water pours out when you move them." All things considered, it may be worth it to move your chair and ottoman to shelter once it rains. But if you can't be bothered, consider something more weather-resistant, like the NICESOUL® All-Weather Modern Patio Furniture Set. You'll obviously have to pay more in this case.
