Best budget bistro sets for 2025
We’re not all blessed with big gardens or budgets to splash out on huge dining sets, so a bistro table and chairs can be the perfect solution!
Their compact size makes them the ideal size to enjoy a morning coffee or al fresco lunch outside in the sunshine.
I’ve also been known to move mine around during the day, to follow the sun!

Alternatives:
I love a splash of colour and this red set from Habitat would look fabulous against some garden greenery. It also comes in green if the red is too bright for you!

If you’re looking for something a little more suitable for lounging with a glass of something cold, then this rattan effect table and chairs will fit the bill. It comes with the cushions, so you can sit comfortably and enjoy your garden.
Alternatives:
Don’t forget you can jazz up sets with extra seat cushions, table cloths and throws when the weather turns chilly. Here are a few of my favourite seat cushions - just remember to bring them in if it rains!
I’d advise investing in a weather proof cover for the autumn and winter months, to protect them and help keep them usable for longer. Alternatively store in a shed or garage. If storage space is an issue, then a folding metal bistro set might be the one for you!
Here are some waterproof furniture covers, but measure the size you need before ordering.

Now let’s hope we have a decent summer this year!
