We've all been in the situation where you invite all the extended family around for Christmas before realising at last minute that there's not enough seats around the table for everyone. At the same time, those of us who want to prepare run into the problem of figuring out where to store these extra chairs for the other 364 days of the year. Shoppers who find themselves in this predicament might want to turn to Dunelm as there's currently a set of two chairs on offer that might just fit the bill perfectly. Normally £104.30, this extremely versatile pair of seats are currently down to £37.25, working out to £18.63 each. Constructed from metal, these modern Sienna chairs are ideal for pulling out as additional dining chairs, but they can also work as outdoor seating. Despite their metal construction, the scooped design of the backrest means it's comfy to sit in - although a cushion could be placed on top for added luxury. Measuring 76cm x 57cm x 46cm, they're relatively low profile , meaning they won't take up too much space in the home while not in use. However, other shoppers have taken to relegating them outside during the summer months, with them withstanding the elements admirably thanks to the metal construction. While I wouldn't recommend leaving these chairs outside permanently unless under some sort of cover from the UK weather , it's a great way for the seats to pull double duty. Not only can they be used for hosting the Christmas festivities, but they'll be useful when summer barbeque season rolls around, too. Sadly, only the grey colour scheme is available with the 64% discount . They do come in black too, but shoppers will need to pay the full price of £149 for that pair. Elsewhere, Debenhams also has a set of low-profile seats on offer . This set of four Scandinavian dining chairs is normally £171, but shoppers can grab them for £103.20, and in several different colours too. DUSK also has a set of slightly more stylish chairs, with these blue velvet seats currently reduced by 50%. Grab them for £59 instead of £119. One five-star review of the Dunelm chairs reads: "Easy to put together and very sturdy chairs. Brought for Xmas extras but now I've moved them to the garden, they look lovely." A second says: "Sturdy and comfortable while looking stylish and giving the illusion of space." Meanwhile, a third shopper said: "I bought these chairs at a good price. Was sceptical because they were so cheap but they are amazing very solid and heavy." However, some shoppers mentioned that the seats could do with cushions to make them properly comfortable: "Sturdy chairs, no risk of ‘leg-splay’ Matches the bar stools I already have. Need seat cushions. Seat back leans back a little further than I would like, but due to the very good price, I can forgive that." Another customer didn't find them too comfortable for long periods of time: "The seats are wide BUT my only and main reason sadly for returning them was the back rest was not supportive and too low. The height barely reached my arm pits. I felt the strain on my neck almost immediately."
