Four colour options and availability

Shoppers can choose from four colours: Alloy (grey), Moonbeam (cream), Satellite (dark brown), or Rain Drum (light brown). As with all Special Buy deals at Aldi, stock is limited and once sold out, it will not be replenished.

The rug is similar in appearance to B&Q's GoodHome Hegoa Doeskin Fur Effect Small Rug, which costs £16 and is also 60cm wide by 90cm long, available in a comparable light brown shade.
