Is it just us or are brands stepping up their garden furniture game this year? Not that we’re complaining. Quite the opposite. Especially when they’re the perfect dupe for favorite high-priced designs at a budget-friendly cost — as is the case with the Habitat Indu Garden Bench.
In fact, the new Habitat garden bench is a similar alternative to the much-loved HAY Palisade outdoor bench, considered by many to be the best garden bench around. Unsurprisingly, it found its way onto our list of the best.
While the HAY Palisade Bench, available from Holloways of Ludlow, retails for £769, the Habitat Indu 2 Seater Metal Garden Bench is priced at £130. And if that’s not enough of a cost difference, Argos is currently holding a garden furniture sale with everything 25% off until June 4, including the Indu bench – making it £97.50 after the discount. All you have to do is apply code GARDEN25 at checkout on either the Argos or Habitat website to take advantage of the offer. But you better be quick before the seat sells out.

Habitat’s Indu garden bench is 25% off
If you’re looking for garden furniture and garden bench ideas, Habitat is not a bad place to go. Because Habitat’s current garden furniture is both design style and affordable. We would love to see that!
We recently swooned over a Habitat Lucinda garden bench from the brand’s 60th anniversary collection. And now there’s a new design that’s impressing us – especially since it bears a close resemblance to the HAY Palisade garden bench, from the matte-painted metal material and flat look, all the way to the ever-popular green colour.

“The HAY Palisade outdoor furniture collection has a simple yet stunning aesthetic,” says Alex Stubbs, Flitch interior designer, of the Palisade’s popularity. “Its clean lines and geometric patterns suit a wide range of tastes, and fit seamlessly into various outdoor settings from modern to rustic. The furniture is not only visually attractive, but also incredibly durable. It withstands diverse weather conditions, making it a practical choice for outdoor spaces.” Despite its sturdy metal construction, the design ensures comfort through thoughtful ergonomics. The shapes and lines of the furniture are designed to support and embrace the body comfortably.
This isn’t the first time a budget-friendly brand has taken on the Palissade look and this year, George Home released a metal garden bench set that resembles the HAY Palissade patio set, complete with a dining table and two backless benches. It is no coincidence that it is currently sold out.
So, as we already said, we recommend acting quickly to avoid disappointment as we expect this to be a quick sale as well.
