Alpine Corporation Bistro Set, Table: 24″ L x 24″ W x 28″ H Chair: 17″ L 18″ W x 33″ H, Blue

Perfect size and completely adorable. What a score! Reasonably priced at under $100, with no assembly required, this little bistro set is perfect for my small garden.Pros:1. Color. Vibrant and festive! Very attractive.2. Comfort. Surprisingly comfortable. The seat has a tiny bit of give that keeps it from feeling hard, and the back support hits at a good place, with a good angle. Table height is good and comfortable. I am 5’6”.3. Size. Fits in my small garden with room for two people to have a meal. No umbrella hole for stuff to fall through.4. Portability. Lightweight and easily folded away and stored for our 8 months of deep winter snow.5. Stability. Solid, despite the low cost.Possible cons:1. Shipping. There are styrofoam bumpers around the table edges, but they should probably add another layer of cardboard around the package to protect against the inevitable tears that happen when a large metal item is shipped. A little paint was scraped off a chair where the box ripped, and I’ll touch it up with clear coat to prevent rust. Not a big deal.2. Probably less comfortable for people over 240lbs.3. Longevity? Time will tell. Probably depends how you treat it and if you remember to take it in out of the snow.

As good as it gets, for the price. This is a very pretty little set. I wanted an inviting portable bistro that can sit on the porch in good weather and crowd into the mud room when it’s not so nice out (so the mud can become a “three-seasons” room).It works perfectly for that. It’s small and light enough that the kids can move the table and chairs, or fold and stash them, without needing help (kids are 5 and 9).The color is a nice blue that isn’t overstated; so it goes well with the muted colors of my older house. It becomes the focal point without being obnoxiously in your view all the time.The chairs are comfortable. The table is sturdy. What’s not to love?Well, two small things, that I only mention because this is a review. And neither is serious enough to keep me from buying again; especially since the price for the set is so reasonable.Number one, I’m 6’2″ and 225 pounds. I feel like the chairs are strong enough for me….but only just. I sit in them, but I don’t think I’d flop down into one after an afternoon of mowing the lawn. It’s also on the small side for me. I am among the largest of my friends and family so I don’t think this is a concern for most of the others, and so long as I am chatting with a friend or sipping on coffee in the morning, I don’t notice. I wouldn’t stand on it to put a light bulb in the porch light, or sit on uneven grass with it, and after a while it’s just too small so I move to a larger chair. For the price, it’s not a complaint or concern; it’s an observation only because this is a review and because I am probably larger than the average consumer.The second is even more minor. There are small plastic bumpers that help the folding bits line up. They keep the paint from scratching and so on. This is a good thing. However, I tend to keep things for decades (waste not, want not!) and my engineering brain wonders what will happen when the little plastic bits are worn out, and if that will be in one year or fifty. It’s not enough of a concern that I’ve even bothered to see if they can be found separately from the bistro set, or even enough that I’ve bothered to take them off and see what happens if they don’t exist at all. They aren’t structural and I only point it out because this is a review and I tend to think of things as they will exist in a future generation.Aside from those two observations, the point of the review is, unless you’re very large or plan to use these as structural components of some sort of patio-furniture lawn-fortress, they’re just the thing for the price, because you’ll pay a lot more to get a little more, and you won’t regret these at all.Mine will probably also serve as an overflow lunch table in the house for the kids; and I expect it will probably end its days in one of their rooms or a playhouse somewhere, because it’s not too big for them and it’s that nice looking. I might even buy the exact same set to replace it!

Cute Little Bistro Set with Unbeatable Price. This bistro set is just what I needed in a little open spot in my children’s garden. The turquoise clashed with the rest of my garden, so I spray painted it a soft sage green. It held the color well. It came fully assembled and can easily hold a 200 lb. person.

Awesome. I was so surprised at how sturdy this furniture is because it looks kind of frail. My 250 pound son sat in one of these chairs and it held up fine. ( I don’t know how long they would hold up with someone that size sitting in them all the time.)It is so easy to fold this furniture up and move it. It does not require any tools and is not heavy. I am so pleased with how this looks on my deck.

Great deal! Perfect for Narrow Patio. This is a perfect 3-piece dining set if you want a cafe table and chairs for a narrow space. My balcony isn’t very big, but this really makes it work. The set is surprisingly sturdy for what it is. I got this set on sale and it is exactly what I wanted. It will need cushions to make it a little more comfortable, but it perfectly fine as is. I love the color, too. This also arrives fully assembled. All you have to do is fold it up.
