Dunelm's sellout compact dressing table is back in stock – it's identical to Urban Outfitters viral £899 space-saving version, but a fraction of the price
Tiny bedrooms rejoice, this is the secret to squeezing in a super glam dressing table and chair
I spied Dunelm's Frankie Striped Compact Dressing Table Set with Mirror and Stool priced at £399 back in December when it sold out in a matter of days. I've been waiting ever since for it to come back into stock, and it's finally landed in two new on-trend striped colourways.
If, like me, you've been looking for a glamorous dressing table that is small bedroom compatible, you'll probably have come across Urban Outfitters Jane Vanity and Chair. The chic upholstered dressing table, which includes a neat nesting chair and a flip-up mirror top, is a staple of some of the most stylish bedrooms on social media. It might have a history of selling out, but the £899 price tag has always put me off investing.

The Dunelm version is available in two stripe patterns, and a natural boucle finish. Both the table and chair hide additional storage.
The Urban Outfitters version has a more rounded shape and is available in a range of colours gorgeous colours including green, pink and blue.
The Dunelm compact dressing table was originally launched only in olive green velvet. This sold out before Christmas and has yet to be restocked. However, Dunelm has reintroduced the dressing table in a pretty olive green stripe, a caramel boucle stripe, and ivory boucle. If you are a fan of the Beatrice snuggle chair, then you'll adore the striped versions.
This is one of the best dressing table ideas I've come across for a tiny bedroom. It looks like a round side table with upholstered sides and a wooden top when not in use. When it's time to get ready, the dressing table chair pulls out, and the top flips up to reveal a mirror and a hidden space for beauty products.
The best part about this dressing table is the chair. It has a proper back and a hidden compartment under the chair seat for storing a hair dryer, your straighters and other beauty tools.
The Dunelm compact dressing table is made out of polyester and plywood. In contrast, the more expensive Urban Outfitters version is made out of mango wood and has a more rounded shape. Otherwise, they look incredibly similar.
The Dunelm version is a cracking price for a table and chair in one double-whammy. As I said, I've already seen the olive green version sell out, and the striped ones are proving popular, so I'd snap one up while you can.

Alternative small space dressing tables
If you're looking for a space-saving dressing table but are not sure about the Dunelm one, here are three others I've had my eye on.
If you prefer a more traditional-looking dressing table this sleek number has a tiny footprint but makes the most of it with a mounted mirror and two drawers. There is also plenty of space to tuck a storage stool neatly underneath.
A console table is a smart way to squeeze in a dressing table if you only have a narrow sliver of space available. This fluted design will look gorgeous with a wall-mounted mirror and a patterned stool tucked under.
If you're willing to sacrifice a little clothes storage space, this multitasking piece of furniture is a wardrobe and dressing table in one.
