Dunelm's 'Extremely Realistic' Faux Olive Tree Now £55, Elevating Gardens
Dunelm shoppers are expressing high satisfaction with their latest purchase, a faux olive tree that is transforming outdoor spaces across the UK. Originally priced at £69, the Artificial Olive Tree in a Rustic Pot has dropped to £55.20, representing a 20% discount that makes it an even more attractive buy for homeowners looking to spruce up their gardens this spring and summer.
Realistic Look and No Maintenance Required
The faux olive tree is specifically designed to look authentic, with customers praising its realistic appearance that brings a touch of the Mediterranean to any setting. One of the key benefits highlighted by reviewers is the complete absence of maintenance; there are no dead leaves to clear up, making it a hassle-free addition to both indoor and outdoor areas.
UV treatment ensures the plant is suitable for outdoor use, preventing fading in the sun, though it is recommended to bring it indoors during particularly bad weather. The tree is also wipe-clean, allowing for easy upkeep if it gets dirty over time. Included in the purchase is a rustic pot, providing a complete decorative solution for under £56.
Customer Reviews and Styling Tips
Shoppers have shared numerous positive reviews and creative styling ideas. One customer mentioned placing two trees on either side of their front door, enhancing curb appeal by using larger pots and adding cream stones on top. They noted that the branches can be bent and adjusted to preference, resulting in a natural look that has garnered compliments.
Another reviewer commented on the tree's quality and realism, stating it looks great on their patio. A third highlighted its versatility, using it in a small garden on stone paving and appreciating how easily it can be moved if needed. While some noted it might blow over in high winds, simple solutions like adding stones to the pot or repositioning it to a sheltered area can mitigate this issue.
Comparison with Other Retailers
While other retailers offer faux olive trees, Dunelm's product stands out for its outdoor durability and included pot. For instance, Evergreen Direct sells a 150cm UV Premium Olive Tree with Pot for £129.90, and Amazon offers a 180cm Verinatural Artificial Olive Tree for £79.99 without a pot. Shoppers confirm that Dunelm's option provides excellent value, with one even calling it the best artificial tree they've seen.
Overall, Dunelm's faux olive tree is proving to be a popular choice for those seeking to enhance their gardens or indoor spaces with a realistic, low-maintenance plant that combines aesthetic appeal with practical benefits.
