Bistro Set

Bistro furniture refers to small dining sets designed for cozy outdoor spaces. These sets usually have a compact table and two to four chairs. The table is often round or square and about 24 to 30 inches wide. This small size makes bistro sets perfect for balconies, small patios, or snug corners in your yard.
Bistro furniture is typically lightweight and easy to move. It's made from materials that can withstand outdoor weather. These features make bistro sets practical for small spaces and outdoor use.
Ovios offers modern versions of bistro furniture that keep these useful features while adding extra comfort. For example, our 3-Piece Set with Swivel Chairs and Side Table has a 17.51-inch wide table. The chairs swivel and have high backs for better support. We use durable materials like PE wicker and add water-resistant cushions for comfort.
Bistro sets are great for many uses. You can enjoy your morning coffee, have a light meal, or chat with a friend in a comfortable, intimate setting. Whether you have a small balcony or just want a cozy spot in your backyard, bistro furniture can help create a charming and functional outdoor space.

Bistro tables are small but versatile. Here's what you can put on them:
For meals, a bistro table can hold plates, glasses, and utensils for two people. The Ovios 4-Piece Bistro Set has a glass top that's easy to clean after eating. It's perfect for a cozy breakfast or light lunch outdoors.
When you're not eating, use your bistro table for other activities. Put a book, e-reader, or laptop on it while you relax. The stable surface of Ovios bistro tables, like the one in the 3-Piece Vultros Set, is great for writing or drawing too.
To make your space look nice, add a small plant or flowers in a vase. A candle or small lamp can create a warm mood for evening chats. These decorations work well on the compact size of bistro tables.
Don't forget practical items. A bistro table is a good spot for your phone, keys, or sunglasses when you're outside. If you're working, there's room for a notepad or tablet.

The space you need for a bistro table depends on its size and how many people will use it. Here's a simple guide:
For a 2-person bistro set:
●Table space: About 2-3 feet wide
●Total space needed: 4-5 feet wide
This gives enough room for the table, chairs, and space to move around.
For a 4-person bistro set:
●Table space: About 3-4 feet wide
●Total space needed: 5-6 feet wide
This allows for a larger table and more chairs, plus moving space.
Ovios offers bistro sets for different space sizes. For very small areas, the 3-Piece Swivel Chair Set has a side table that's only 17.51 inches wide. This is perfect for tight spots like small balconies.
When planning your space, remember to leave about 2 feet behind each chair. This lets people sit down and get up easily.

Yes, you can primarily use bistro tables for dining in small spaces. For having everyday meals in studios, small apartments, or even on balconies, a bistro table will do the job. It can work for either one or two, but occasionally, there is room for four people to sit at the table for casual dining.
Take for example the Ovios 4-Piece Bistro Set. The table of the set measures 35.43″ in length and 19.69″ in width. This can hold the plates and utensils of approximately two to four persons. There remains enough elbow room in the center to fit shared plates of food. Just perfect for an alfresco breakfast or a simple, relaxed supper.
When using a bistro table, remember it is much smaller than a regular dinner table. It is thus probable that, during a heavy meal or for more than four people, the space is likely to become crowded. Smaller plates or service may have to be brought in to make the most of the space in such circumstances.
If you need more room for bigger meals or more people, there are a few things you can do. You could add a side table for extra space, use TV trays for some guests, or choose a larger table from Ovios for regular big gatherings.

A 2-person requires about 30 square feet, which would be equivalent to a 5 by 6 foot area. This covers the dimensions the table and chairs would occupy and around it to move
A 4-person requires about 40 square feet which is equivalent to a 6 by 7 foot area. This would be suitable enough to contain four chairs that a person could sit in and be relaxed.
Ovios designs bistro sets for compact areas. The 3-Piece Vultros Set features 28 by 30-inch chairs; it is ideal for indoor/outdoor balconies or small patios.
Allow at least 2 feet of clearance behind each chair to comfortably pull them out and sit down.
Before you purchase, take the time to measure your outdoor space, so that with either of the sets, it will fit and look nice.
