Frequently asked questions
What is a bistro set?
A bistro set is a compact garden set consisting of a small table (usually round or square, diameter 60-80 cm) and two chairs. It's designed for small outdoor spaces such as balconies, city gardens and small terraces.
Will a bistro set fit on any balcony?
Most bistro sets fit on balconies from approximately 1.5 x 1.5 metres. Measure your balcony and check the dimensions of the set. Folding models are the most space-saving.
Which material is best for a balcony set?
Aluminium is the best choice for balconies: it's lightweight (important for the weight capacity of your balcony), rust-free and low-maintenance. Steel bistro sets are heavier but more classic in appearance.
Can I use a bistro set for more than 2 people?
A standard bistro table comfortably seats 2 people. For 3-4 people, it's better to choose a slightly larger round table or a square table of about 80x80 cm.
Are bistro sets weather-resistant?
Yes, quality bistro sets made of aluminium, wicker or rope are fully weather-resistant. They can stay outside all season. In winter, a protective cover is recommended.
Is a folding bistro set sturdy enough?
Yes, good folding bistro sets have a sturdy hinge mechanism and are stable when unfolded. When purchasing, check the maximum load capacity and the quality of the folding lock.
Which colour bistro set suits my balcony?
For small balconies, light colours such as white or beige are recommended — these make the space appear larger. Anthracite and black give a sleek, modern appearance but absorb more heat in the sun.
How do I maintain a bistro set?
Clean the set regularly with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. For wrought iron or steel: check for rust spots and touch up with matching paint. Aluminium and wicker: simple rinsing is sufficient.
