Kmart shoppers can’t stop raving about this ‘best $99 purchase of the year’

Shoppers are always on the lookout for that one game-changing item that promises both style and value.

Recently, a particular find has taken the retail world by storm, with shoppers calling it the ‘best purchase of the year.’

What makes this item stand out? The answer is sparking excitement across social media, leaving many eager to get their hands on it before it’s gone.


Kmart shoppers have already crowned a $99 armchair as the 'best purchase of the year,' just 16 days into 2025.

This budget-friendly buy, dubbed 'Marlo,' quickly became a favourite for its sophisticated look that belies its price tag.

One shopper shared her excitement after purchasing two, calling it 'the best $198' she'd ever spent.

She explained that while the chairs 'come in flat pack,' they were 'super sturdy' once assembled.

Shoppers flooded social media with praise.

'They look designer,' one woman commented.

'Obsessed,' raved another.

Some had been eagerly anticipating its release, with many waiting for stock to arrive in their local stores after hearing rumours months earlier.

'I have been wanting these for two weeks, hoping they hit my store soon,' one woman said.

'They still haven't come to my store I really hope they get in stock soon,' said another.

'I have been checking online for these, I really hope I don't miss out,' said a third.


While most shoppers were thrilled, some in New Zealand expressed frustration.

'I see Kmart coming out with so many beautiful things and none of them come out to NZ,' one woman said.

'If only NZ got good stuff too,' said another.


Kmart is quickly becoming the go-to destination for affordable luxury, and it's not just the $99 armchair that's stealing the spotlight.
