Finding good value doesn’t always mean a foray off the beaten track, and it’s worth remembering that Tesco has a very respectable furniture range that is ideal for penny poor pockets. Its new Spring/Summer collection includes a variety of good looking designs including this Honduras range - a simple, rustic, solid pine range, complete with waxed finish and contrasting black metal handles with optional studs. Prices in this range start from £34.97 for a lamp table.
