One of the best parts of spring and summer is hanging out on the patio. Naturally, While you’re enjoying your time outside, you’ll need to have somewhere to sit, snack, and enjoy a frosty beverage.
While garden furniture sets are great if you have a large space and enjoy entertaining, sometimes you need something a little smaller and more intimate. We’ve made it easy for you to find a variety of outdoor bistro sets that will fit perfectly in your yard.
We have to be frank. When we first started looking at the best outdoor bistro table sets, we envisioned classic Paris street scenes. But this small table and chair set can be literally any design, including modern industrial. This cool set features wrought iron frames and acacia wood seats and tabletop. It would be perfect for the balcony of a modern urban loft or anyone who loves steampunk decor.
The long rectangular tabletop features slatted wood that allows the rain to drain off, and at 47.25 inches long could easily accommodate meals for more than just two people. The stools have low backs, which might be a concern for some, haven’t you noticed when dining at a table like this you’re most often leaning forward? Because of the table length, you could easily add two more chairs and have the perfect bar seating on your deck or patio as well.
If your home or apartment is lacking in outdoor space, it’s likely you’re in search of a bistro set that takes up limited space, but still looks modern and cozy. This outdoor wicker set is such a clever option for small spaces because the chairs literally slide right into the table itself to become one compact unit.
The seats are offset just enough that they easily slide into one another leaving only the tabletop exposed. The table itself has wide woven wicker sides, and a tempered glass tabletop in a modified oval shape that’s attractive and clean. The solid woven chairbacks give the entire piece a classic minimalist look, and thanks to the hand holes in the seatback, they’re easy to slide in and out at mealtimes.
If you need some extra table space or want another bar height table for your smaller balcony setting, we love this pop-top cooler table that can be a buddy bar or small low side table. It’s got enough space for chilling up to 40 cans of your favorite frosty beverages with the built-in 7.5 gallon cooler inside.
Enter full relaxation mode with this bistro set that includes two rocking wicker chairs. The chairs are really comfortable as they not only rock but also have plush cushions that make it easy to pass the afternoon away. The wicker frames of both the table and chairs are really durable and UV resistant, and they’re also easy to keep clean as you can just hose them off.
The bottom cushions on the chairs have a zipper which makes it easy to remove and throw in the wash so you can keep the cushion looking fresh and new. It’s also easy to place snacks, drinks, books, etc. on the table, as the top is made with glass. Assembly is required, however, all tools needed are included. This bistro set is classy and comfortable, making it the perfect addition to any outdoor patio.
If you love the look of natural, rustic furniture, this acacia bistro set is a great choice for you. Made of solid and sustainable acacia wood, the set has a cute slatted design that works well in any outdoor setting. All three pieces in the set can fold up, which is nice when it comes time to move or store the furniture.
While this set will work outside, keep in mind that it will need more care than other outdoor bistro sets. It’s best to treat the wood with something like teak oil to ensure the wood stays looking like new for many seasons to come. The set arrives completely assembled so you can start to use it straight out of the box.
One of the best things about this outdoor bistro set is that it can be folded up and easily moved or stored. Each of the pieces is lightweight enough that they are simple to move around, but not so lightweight that they are flimsy (the chairs have a weight capacity of 280 pounds). The table has a flat top which is ideal for eating and holding beverages, and each of the chairs has a slated seat and shoulder rest.
The simple design means that no assembly is required so you can start using the set as soon as it arrives. This comes in blue or red, so this is a good choice if you are looking to add some style to your outdoor space. It comes in four different color options so adding the one that best matches your decor is easy.

We admit it. We’re addicted to comfy swivel rockers when it comes to relaxing outdoors, and this pretty bistro set has two cozy, weather-resistant ones with 32 inch wide seats, big enough to curl up in with your latest novel. Their powdered steel bases are sturdy and strong, so even if you have little ones spinning circles in them, they can stand up to the punishment.
