Been lusting after a Wishbone chair for a while now? If it’s the high price tag that has been holding you back from making this purchase, then it’s your lucky day: we’ve spotted a dupe that’s back in stock with a price tag of £129. The Lara Chair from Dunelm (yes, you read that right, Dunelm), is almost an exact replica of Hans Wegners’ popular dining chair. It’s even available in two colours – black or natural – to suit your dining room, open plan living diner or kitchen diner. In short, this dining chair is a total bargain and it’s more than easy to see why it has been sold out for weeks on end.

So, if you’re in the market for some lovely new dining chairs and the Wishbone chair has been saved on your Pinterest plenty of times, then why not opt for these ones? They are admittedly still an investment, but they’re an investment that will last a lifetime – and one that will look good on the ‘gram.

Keep scrolling for more info – and to buy this dining chair. You might want to hurry, though, before it sells out again. Head to our modern dining room ideas guide for more inspiration.

Wishbone chair dupe – where to buy?

The wishbone chair dupe from Dunelm is fairly priced at £129 – in comparison to the price of a Hans Wegner one which is around £400 per chair, that is. This chair should last for years of use in your home thanks to its rope seat and beech wood legs, while its curved back makes it more than comfortable for sitting on for long periods of time.

What’s more? You can also buy this chair in a bar chair size, for your breakfast bar or for sitting around a higher table. See the Lara Bar Stool in Black.
