The discount retailer, famed for its budget-friendly offerings in homeware, food, cleaning products and more, may have just introduced a new crowd-pleaser.

The video highlighted B&M's version next to an image of Laura Ashley's Libra Interiors Metal Gold/Jute Natural Natrang Wavy Pendant Shade. The caption read: "The bargain lampshade of dreams!
