The first thing to consider when purchasing a bistro table is what type of activity you plan to use it for. If you want a bistro table to enjoy breakfast or lunch outside, you’ll likely want one with a larger table and dining-style chairs. If you want a comfortable place to sit outside and read a newspaper or sip a glass of wine, you might prefer the sets that include a smaller coffee table and chairs with more cushioning.
Another thing to think about is whether or not you want to install an umbrella on your table. Covering your table with an umbrella will provide you with extra shade when you’re sitting at the table and can also be a good way to protect your table from rain or snow. Some of the larger tables will include holes that an umbrella can easily be placed in, and the diameter of these holes is usually 1.75 or 1.8 inches. This is large enough to hold most conventionally sized umbrellas.
If you’re planning to keep your bistro table set outside, especially in an uncovered area, you’ll want to make sure that it’s strong enough to withstand the elements. Many bistro sets are made to be rust-resistant and anti-corrosive, but some are more capable of withstanding the elements than others. Think about where you plan to leave your bistro set and consider how exposed your table and chairs may be in that location.
Lastly, you’ll want to consider a few logistical topics. These questions range from issues like what sort of weight capacity you need your chairs to be able to handle, and whether or not it’s important to you that your chair is easier to get in and out of. Another issue that may seem small but is important is whether or not your cushion covers are machine washable, and how easily they can come on and off of your chairs.

A: Most bistro tables will require some level of assembly. There is one option on this list that doesn’t require any assembly at all. However, you should keep in mind that this is a folding set and may not be one that you want to leave up permanently. In the event that assembly is required, you can expect all the necessary parts to be included, and many bistro sets also include all the tools you’ll need to put your set together. If something isn’t included that is necessary for assembly, it is likely a common tool like a screwdriver.
