Dunelm has a storage unit designed to sit discreetly behind the sofa, offering hidden yet easy-to-reach storage without taking up extra floor space — and it’s now 20% off
Shoppers are snapping up a ‘brilliant’ storage solution that’s been slashed in price, with many highlighting how perfectly it tucks behind sofas and into awkward spaces. The Bryant Behind Sofa Storage Unit is now on offer for £199.20, reduced from £249, at Dunelm, giving buyers a 20% saving.
Dunelm’s Bryant Behind Sofa Storage Unit is crafted to sit unobtrusively behind the sofa, delivering concealed yet easily accessible storage without eating into valuable floor space. It boasts an open top for swift access while you’re seated, making it perfect for stashing remotes, phones and daily essentials within arm’s reach.
Integrated cable management keeps wires under control, while raised compartments help organise smaller bits and pieces, and deeper sections offer room for throws or bulkier items. Styled with a wood-effect frame and contemporary metal legs, it marries functionality with a sleek aesthetic that suits most living spaces.
There are a few alternatives worth considering, though. For instance, if you’re working with tight corners, there’s the Isla Tall Storage Unit for £118, marked down from £169, on Dusk’s website.
This option comes with ‘beautiful rattan features’ and is available in natural, cream, black or taupe, ensuring there’s something to suit every taste. Dusk also stocks the Paisley Buttoned Round Storage Pouffe in berry for the same price of £118, reduced from £189.
Perfect for multiple uses, this versatile piece can function as storage, a footrest, stool or even a coffee table. For those seeking stylish wall-mounted storage, the Habitat Jessie Modular Wall Shelf in natural is available for £150 from Habitat, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Crafted from solid wood and weighing 15kg, it’s designed to maximise vertical space without the need for several separate units. The Bryant Behind Sofa Storage Unit has also garnered glowing reviews on the Dunelm website, with one shopper declaring: “This storage unit is incredible.
“The whole internal space is separated into different storage sections and there is not one inch of wasted space. We have it behind our sofa so we can use it as a slim table for holding drinks and anything else.
“We have a little one due soon and this has given us excellent discreet storage for toys, books, blankets and nappy caddy. So so pleased!
“It’s very easy to put together, but takes two and some time, but the instructions are so easy to follow.” Another customer added: “Excellent piece of furniture, we are using (it) behind an L-shaped banquette sofa in our kitchen to fill a gap – it makes it look intentional.
“The storage is a bonus.” A third reviewer noted: “This unit was easy to put together with good instructions – the worst thing was getting the stickers off after.
“There is plenty of storage and (it) sits nicely behind the sofa.” While no further reviews exist for this particular unit, customers have shared their opinions of Dunelm as a brand over on Trustpilot.
One customer commented: “Despite an order hiccup, the team there sorted it out and my product was delivered and works well.” While another noted in a lengthier review: “Good in-store service and good measuring up for fitting service BUT delivery by DHL so far unreliable.”
