Outdoor Bistro Sets
A bistro set is coffee outside on a weekday: a small table, two chairs, and a corner that was doing nothing before. Nearly all the sets here are solid teak from HiTeak, some with sling seats, and teak is the right wood for it. It's dense and oily enough to live outside without a finish, silvering over a couple of seasons unless you oil it to keep the honey colour.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much space does a bistro set need?
- About a 5-by-5-foot patch lets two people sit and stand up without shuffling. The tables run roughly 24 to 32 inches across; the exact size is on each product page.
- Does teak need to be oiled?
- Only if you want to keep it golden. Left alone it turns silver-grey and lasts just as long. Wash it once a season with mild soap and a soft brush.
- Can the set stay out all winter?
- Yes. Teak is one of the few woods that can. Fold the chairs or stack them to keep water off the seats if you'd rather.
- Is it sturdy?
- These are furniture-grade teak sets, not the folding café kind; construction details are on each product page.
- Shipping?
- Free curbside delivery to the continental US. Stock sets ship in days; the product page shows the estimate under the price.
