The Surprising £3 Shein Buy That Brings Old, Worn-Out Garden Furniture Back to Life
ENSURING that your garden furniture looks stylish all summer long is easier said than done.
It is extra annoying when your beloved garden bench starts to show signs of wear and tear in July, while summer still has a month (or longer) to go.
Faded cushion covers, stains from your last barbecue, and general weathering can make your once beautiful furniture look worn.
However, there is a simple and cost-effective solution within reach.
And surprisingly, it’s available at Shein.
Green-fingered Brits are taking to Facebook to promote the Chinese retailer’s outdoor sofa covers.

It comes after social media user Lucie Crook Gardening on a Budget Official group looking for advice on how to breathe new life into a worn out rattan sofa.
“I was given some patio furniture that I want to give a new life,” she wrote.
“I am looking for advice on a cheap option to sort the cushions.”
The white cushions of her new set were covered in dark stains that even the most powerful wash could not remove.
Brits were quick to let Lucie know that Shein’s outdoor sofa cushion covers were the perfect solution.
“Shein sells covers,” Emma informed Harry Dearlove.
“They are cheap and fantastic.”
“Go Shein and get the replacement covers,” Kathleen Murphy echoed Howard.
“They are great.”
Outdoor furniture cushion covers in various sizes and shapes are available from as little as £3 on Shein.
For a complete set of cushions on a large outdoor sofa you will pay between £40 and £60 for a good quality set.
The Outsunny Garden Rattan Sofa Cushion Polyester Cover Replacement Outdoor set has received rave reviews.
It comes with six seat covers, six large back covers and two small back covers for £59.99.
