Outdoor Bistro Sets

1. Use an outdoor bistro set to transform a patio into a sidewalk cafe. You may have a larger patio table set on the deck, but a small table with chairs near the backdoor, or on a side patio off the kitchen, adds a design element that is as functional as it is fun. Maximize empty space with an artfully placed table and chairs.

2. Outdoor bistro tables and chairs look lovely in the garden. A traditional wrought iron bistro set, or one made from aluminum with the same look, will give your yard the charm of a French sitting garden. A pretty little bistro set is also a great place to take a break from weeding and enjoy those amazing first cherry tomatoes, sun-warmed and freshly picked.

3. Entertaining with outdoor bistro sets is as fun as it is easy. They quickly and attractively provide lots of extra conversation spaces for parties. Weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties…it's always good to have extra seating and a bistro set is a big step up from some extra folding chairs. Place the little table sets in random spots to encourage impromptu meetings. Who can resist?

4. Bistro sets are anything but boring. From curvy modern designs to frilly traditional styles, there are many styles and sizes to choose from. Outdoor pub table sets are a popular choice, especially when the extra height of the outdoor pub table affords you a better view of the landscape. Put your personality on display with just the right table set for your home.

5. Your choice of materials has really expanded and you can buy bistro tables and chairs that are made with wood or recycled plastic that looks like wood, wrought iron or heavy aluminum in a similar design, antiqued iron, all-weather wicker, the list goes on. Mosaic bistro sets are always eye-catching, and a mosaic bistro table is definitely easier to buy than to make!

6. Take good care of your outdoor furniture. Materials of higher quality will be easier to care for, but no matter what your bistro set is made of, you should clean it at least once a year. Bistro sets are small so they are usually very easy to store, but if you choose to leave your tables and chairs outside over the winter or during poor weather, consider using a garden furniture cover to protect them from the elements.
