A garden bistro set is the perfect addition to your garden this summer. Versatile and stylish, they're a great option for smaller balconies, garden patios and outdoor dining. There are a few things that you should bear in mind when looking for the perfect garden bistro set, and we've put them together in our handy buying guide for you.

Size

With so many different styles available, you need to choose a bistro set that is the right size for your outdoor space. If you have a large patio area, something like the Cozy Bay Verona Aluminium & Fabric 2 Seater Tea for Two Set is perfect, with large comfortable chairs and a stylish table.

If you have a smaller space, then a smaller set that folds away is a better option, like the fabulous Verdi Bistro Set.

Comfort

Outdoor living is all about relaxing and enjoying your environment, so your garden furniture should match that and be comfortable for you. If you are mainly using your bistro set for eating outdoors, then you'll want the table and chairs to be the perfect height for dining. The Grigio Bistro Set is perfect for this.

Style

There are lots of different style options available when you're looking for a bistro set. If you want your outdoor space to have a super modern, minimalist feel, check out the Handpicked Zari 2 Seater Bistro Set with polypropylene seats and angular legs.

If you want a bright, colourful feel, the Pacific Lifestyle Rio Bistro Set comes in black, blue or red and has a unique woven design.

Material

From rattan to wood to metal, bistro sets come in a range of materials. If you're looking for a lightweight, compact bistro set, then a wooden fold away set might be a better option for you. If you're looking for a more sturdy, permanent bistro set, then the Sol Bistro® Syn-Teak™ 2 Seater Tea For Two Set is a great choice.
