3 Piece White Metal Bistro Set, 24 Inch Round Patio Table and 2 Folding Chairs That Store 5 Inches Flat

Fixed outdoor chairs do not nest. Come the first frost they go into the garage or the shed and take up floor space until May, or they stay out and weather for six months.

Each chair folds to 5 in deep by 16 in wide and 40 in tall. Two of them stand behind a door or hang on a hook. The table stays out or comes in with them, and nothing needs dismantling.

The three pieces

One round table and two folding chairs, all in coated white metal. The seats and the tabletop are perforated rather than solid, so rain runs through instead of sitting in a puddle on top.

Folded and put away

The maker's own panel shows both chairs collapsed. At 5 in deep each, the pair take up about the same wall space as an ironing board. No tools and no dismantling, just fold and lift.

On a balcony

A 24 in round top is small enough for a balcony and still a proper table rather than a plant stand. The chairs take a 22 in by 16 in footprint each, so there is room to get past them.

The details that matter

Three close ups from the maker: the curved backrest, the X shaped frame that does the folding, and the widened non slip pads on every foot that stop the chairs skating on smooth tile.

Folded, each chair is 40 in tall, 16 in wide and only 5 in deep, which is how two of them fit behind a door.

Printed on the manufacturer's dimension drawing, with 110 lb given for the tabletop.

Rain drains through the mesh rather than pooling on the table or soaking into a cushion.

Broader pads on every leg, which matters more on a folding chair than on a fixed one.

No wood and no fabric to replace. The maker asks that you avoid prolonged rain exposure to extend its service life.

At 24 in across the table also works as a breakfast table in a small kitchen or a hallway perch.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

A 24 in round top and two chairs that disappear when you want the floor back for anything else.

Two chairs at 5 in deep take a sliver of a closet rather than a corner of the garage.

There is no fabric here at all. A shower runs straight through the seats and the set dries in minutes.

What we stand behind

• Folded and open chair sizes, the table size and both weight capacities are read from the product's own dimension drawing.
• The set is metal throughout. The description calls the pattern rattan like, but nothing here is rattan.
• The manufacturer's own note asks you to avoid prolonged rain exposure for a longer service life, so it is printed here rather than buried.
• No coating thickness, no steel gauge and no net weight is published, so none is quoted.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How small do the chairs fold?

Down to 5 in deep and 16 in wide, standing 40 in tall when folded. Two of them side by side take up less wall space than a folded card table, which is the whole reason to buy a folding set rather than a fixed one.

Is the table the right height for the chairs?

The seats are 18.5 in from the ground and the tabletop is 28.5 in, leaving 10 in between them. Furniture guides call 10 in to 12 in comfortable for dining, so this sits at the snug end of the range, which is normal for a compact bistro set.

Can it be left outside all summer?

The frame is coated metal and the perforated seats shed water, but the manufacturer's own note asks you to avoid prolonged rain exposure to extend its service life. Folding the chairs and putting them under cover between uses is the easy answer.

Does it need assembling?

The table needs putting together. The chairs arrive ready to use, since a folding frame is already built. No tool list or assembly time is published on this record.
