CUSTOMERS are flocking to Aldi for a sweet deal on furniture this summer, but it’s only going on for a limited time.
The retailer has offered a dupe reminiscent of homeware designs at prominent furniture companies but for hundreds of dollars less.

Shoppers can get the SOHL Furniture Accent Cabinet to accent their home or apartment for just $69.99 starting on August 7, per Aldi’s website.
The cabinet is 31 inches tall, 31.49 inches long, and 13.77 inches wide.
It has an all-white finish and sits on four wooden legs that angle out slightly, along with an adjustable shelf inside.
Handles for the two doors on the cabinet feature a black finish and the doors themselves have a partially see-through rattan mesh material in the center.
Aldi advertises that the mid-century modern design will “enhance the look of your living space.”
The sale only lasts through August 13, meaning customers will only have days to get the cabinet before it’s too late.
LATE PENALTY
If they don’t make it in time, shoppers may be left with similar designs from World Market and Wayfair for considerably more money.
The Rayna White Faux Rattan Stackable Storage Cabinet at World Market features the same all-white design with straight legs and sits slightly taller.
Its price point, however, is significantly different at $343.99 — a $274 bump, along with its two shelves instead of one adjustable.
The Rayna White Faux Rattan Stackable Storage Cabinet is even discounted, as it was originally offered for $429.99.
Similarly, Wayfair is selling a Laginess Accent by George Oliver on its website.
It has a few different qualities compared to Aldi and World Market’s cabinets, including the lack of rattan material on the doors.
Still, there’s an all-white design, similar measurements, an adjustable shelf, and angled legs like the Aldi option.
It’s listing is $319.99, still about $250 more expensive than Aldi’s.
Aldi Policies
Aldi has several store policies customers should remain aware of. The U.S. Sun has compiled a short list for shoppers’ next trip to their local store.
- Customers pay one-quarter for a cart and can get the coin back once they return it to the proper spot.
- There are no baggers and customers typically bag their groceries or cashiers offer assistance.
- Aldi places products in aisles with the same packaging they were shipped in by vendors to save customers money.
- Full refunds and exchanges are given through Aldi’s Twice as Nice policy on all Aldi-brand items customers aren’t satisfied with.
- No plastic bags are sold at any Aldi store.
- Reusable and paper bags are offered to customers.
DEALS FOR DAYS
Other dupes at Aldi are also catching shoppers’ attention, including some three-wick candles similar to Bath & Body Works’ iconic designs.
Some customers said they spotted virtually “no difference” between Aldi’s selection, with a price point 80% cheaper on certain candles.
“Every $5 candle I’ve used (especially the seasonal/holiday ones) has been every bit as good as the B&BW candles I’ve used,” an Aldi shopper wrote in a recent post on Reddit.
Four new scents are offered through the retailer’s three-wick candle selection, including Life of the Party, Feeling Fresh, Dreamer, and Me Time.
Aldi has also been praised by customers recently for its pricing.
A curious shopper compared prices at the chain to another retail giant and competitor and found Aldi was the low-cost winner.
Another was stunned at their $106 grocery haul compared to the same competing retailer.
