Dunelm has reduced the Olney Behind Sofa Storage Unit to £174.30 from £249 in its clearance sale, saving shoppers 30% on the purchase. The storage solution has been praised by customers for looking 'smart and practical'.
Slim design and practical features
The unit's slim design allows it to sit neatly behind a sofa without taking up too much room. It features a combination of deep and raised compartments, providing space for blankets, books, remotes, chargers and other living room essentials. The open top design means items can be reached easily while sitting on the sofa, while built-in cable management helps keep wires organised and out of sight. The unit has a wooden frame with a painted finish, giving it a simple look that should blend easily into a range of interiors.
Customer reviews and alternatives
The Olney Behind Sofa Storage Unit has received a high 4.6 out of 5 star rating on Dunelm. One customer said: “Fantastic storage and so much space. Four cupboards instead of one brilliantly designed.” Another added: "Put this behind my sofa, it's perfect for storing all the clutter you end up with, put a nice lamp on one end. Lovely." A third person wrote: "Just what I was after behind my sofa in my newly decorated living room. Put together by myself no issues. Great storage unit. Looks smart and practical, lots of storage space, yet to fill." This buyer added: "I love this unit. The colour matches perfectly with my other furniture, it serves its purpose brilliantly for storage. The side cupboard is a bonus. It sits lovely behind my sofa and I can display some of my ornaments on the lovely top."
Some customers commented on the assembly time. One wrote: "Really good quality unit. While it did take time to construct, all pieces were clearly marked making it easy to construct. I would recommend it." Another added: "Looks good. Bit fiddly to build but not quite as bad as others made out! Just be methodical and follow the instructions!"
