Bistro sets at a glance
Types of bistro sets in this collection
The largest group in this range is three-piece wicker sets. Each type below suits a different space and seating need.
Three-piece wicker sets
Three-piece wicker sets are the largest group in this collection. Each set has a small table and two chairs woven from PE rattan over a metal frame. Many add seat cushions, a glass-top table or a coffee table with storage. Some chairs recline or rock. These sets suit a balcony or porch where you want a soft, relaxed look.
Folding sets
A folding bistro set packs flat after use. That helps in a small home or through a Canadian winter. Most are metal, with folding chairs and a round or semi-circle table. Several have a tempered glass top, and some add cup holders or a reclining backrest. They suit renters and anyone with limited storage space.
Patio bar sets
A patio bar set raises the table and seats to bar height, so you sit tall. The range includes three-piece wicker bar sets with high chairs. A five-piece set has a 47 inch (119 cm) table and four stools. These sets suit poolsides, decks and outdoor bars.
Swivel and rocker chair pairs
Some products come as a pair of chairs, with no table. Swivel rocker chairs turn 360 degrees and often have cushions, armrests and breathable mesh. Pair them with a small table from our patio side tables to build your own bistro set.
Larger dining and picnic sets
A few sets seat more people. One seven-piece set has an umbrella hole, a rectangle table and six cushioned chairs. A folding picnic table with two benches seats four. See our patio dining tables for more table options.
Check each product page for exact sizes, since dimensions vary by set.
How do you choose a bistro set?
Measure your space first
Measure the floor and leave about 36 inches (90 cm) behind each chair so people can sit and stand. A balcony 4 feet (1.2 m) deep suits a small round table. Mark the table and chairs on the floor with tape before you buy.
Pick the frame and weave
Wicker adds a soft look, while a metal frame folds flat and wipes clean. Check the product page for the frame, the weave and any listed weather features. A folding set is easier to store if your space is small.
Choose the right height
A dining-height table is about 28 to 30 inches (71 to 76 cm) tall and suits coffee and meals. A bar-height table is taller, such as the 47 inch (119 cm) table in one bar set. Match the stools or chairs to the table.
Check cushions and tabletop
Cushions make seats comfortable for longer visits, so look for sets that list them. A glass top is easy to wipe, while a steel top is sturdy. Store cushions indoors during wet weather to help them last.
Where do bistro sets work best?
A balcony suits a compact patio bistro set or a folding set, because both leave room to walk past. Place the table near the railing so the chairs face the view. Check your building rules about balcony furniture.
A porch suits a wicker set with cushions or a pair of swivel rockers. A deck or poolside suits a patio bar set, with bar stools that face the water. For more seating, see our patio chairs and bar stools.
A small garden corner or a patio next to the kitchen suits a bistro set for morning coffee. Add a small umbrella or an awning for shade. Keep the set close to the door for easy serving.
How do you set up and care for a bistro set?
A bistro set needs a flat, level spot and a quick wipe before first use. Clean frames and glass tops with mild soap and water. Store cushions indoors in wet weather, and fold and store folding sets for winter. Cover the set when you are away for long periods.
