The bargain store is selling a homeware set that arguably resembles a pricier product
B&M shoppers could get a ‘stylish’ set of wall shelves that look similar to a pricier B&Q product for just £8. Known for selling discounted homeware and furniture, B&M is often a go-to destination for bargain hunters.
The high street giant sells a selection of storage and shelving units, including the £8 Simply Set of Two Hexagon Shelves. Available in sage or white, B&M says the set offers a ‘stylish storage solution’ for homes. Shoppers could also compare the set to a pricier B&Q lookalike.
The homeware retailer is stocking a £30 Premium Modular Hexagon Floating Shelf, which arguably offers a similar look.Like B&M, the store is selling a floating shelf unit with a hexagon design.
However, B&Q offers more colour options to shoppers. Thanks to the design, customers can stack the floating shelves on top of each other when purchasing multiple units.
Unlike B&M’s set, the pricier product is offered as a pack of one. Shoppers might therefore suggest B&M’s option is better value for money, though the B&Q option could be better for shoppers looking to customise their design.
In addition to these differences, the ‘premium’ shelf is hollow, whereas the B&M option has a wood-effect back. Shoppers might prefer either design, as the B&M look could win over customers looking for a wood finish, while the B&Q design could impress customers looking for a more minimalist style.
Buyers interested in the B&M option can check their local store for stock. The product description says: “Keep vases, photo frames and ornaments in this set of two Hexagon Shelves. A stylish storage solution for your home. Large: W30 x D10.5 x H26cm. Small: W24 x D10 x H21cm.”
Buyers interested in the B&Q option can buy it for home delivery or store collection on the retailer’s website. The product description says: “Transform your empty walls into a modern canvas with this Premium Modular Hexagonal Shelf. Far from a simple storage unit, this shelf is a piece of architectural decor designed to evolve with your home.
“Whether installed as a solitary statement piece or clustered in a sprawling honeycomb pattern, this shelf adapts to your vision. Its precise geometric manufacturing ensures that when you place shelves side-by-side, the gaps remain consistent, allowing for professional-grade interior designs.”
Alternatively, shoppers could look elsewhere for more designs. For example, Home Bargains sells a Home Floating Wall Shelf for £4.99. The product description says: “This Home Floating Wall Shelf is crafted from a stylish blend of wood and steel, it’s perfect for showcasing your favourite items while adding a modern touch to any room.”
