FAQs on Bistro Sets
A bistro set typically includes a small table and two chairs. It’s designed for casual outdoor dining, morning coffee, or relaxing in smaller spaces like balconies, patios, or garden nooks.
Bistro sets are ideal for:
- Balconies or small patios
- Compact garden corners
- Courtyards or rooftop terraces
- Creating a quiet reading or coffee spot
Common materials include:
- Metal (iron, steel, aluminium): Durable and often decorative, but may need rust protection
- Rattan or wicker: Lightweight and modern, often with cushions for added comfort
- Wood (acacia, eucalyptus, teak): Classic look, needs seasonal care to maintain finish
- Plastic/resin: Affordable, lightweight, and low maintenance
It depends on the material:
- Aluminium and resin: Rustproof and suitable for year-round outdoor use
- Powder-coated steel: Weather-resistant but benefits from covers or indoor storage in winter
- Wood and rattan: Weather-resistant, but should be covered or stored in bad weather
Many bistro sets are designed with storage in mind:
- Look for foldable chairs and tables for compact storage
- Some sets stack or come with storage-friendly designs
- Perfect for seasonal use or when space is limited
Some bistro sets include seat cushions, especially rattan or cushioned metal styles. Always check product details. Adding outdoor cushions is a simple way to boost comfort and colour.
Maintenance depends on the material:
- Metal: Wipe clean regularly and touch up any scratches to prevent rust
- Wood: Clean and oil seasonally to preserve the finish
- Rattan: Wipe with a damp cloth; store cushions indoors
- Plastic: Clean with mild soapy water and a soft cloth
Most bistro tables are:
- Round or square in shape
- Approximately 60–70cm in diameter (or width)
- Designed for two people to enjoy light dining or drinks comfortably
