Description
The Carlo Bistro Set pairs one round table with two stackable chairs, made from steel and finished in iron grey. The table top, seats and chair backs are steel mesh, so the set looks light and open. The chairs have curved arms and a curved back. The table is 60cm across and 74cm high; each chair is 59cm wide, 66cm deep and 89cm tall, with a 41cm seat height. Allow an overall area of about 180 x 70cm, and mark it out before you buy to check there is room to walk past.
Made for two, this bistro set suits spaces where every centimetre counts: a balcony, a small courtyard or a sunny corner of the patio or garden, for a morning coffee or a light lunch. Each chair weighs 5.48kg and takes a maximum load of 110kg, and the table weighs 7.88kg: figures worth knowing if the set is going up a flight of stairs or being moved about to follow the sun. The iron grey is a dark, quiet shade that sits easily against stone, brick and planting.
Bare steel rusts in the wet, which is why the finish matters outdoors: both the table and the chairs are powder coated to prevent corrosion and damage from the weather. Powder coating is baked on, rather than brushed on like paint. Mesh also lets rain run straight through instead of pooling on a seat or table top, and the chairs stack when it is time to put the set away. Partial assembly is required: the table comes flat-packed, with instructions. The set does not come with a cover, and we suggest one whenever it is not in use. It carries a three-year structural guarantee. Add a pot of dried grasses on the table and a pale outdoor rug beneath, and the whole corner looks finished.

Frequently Asked
How much space does the set need?
Allow an overall area of about 180 x 70cm. The table is 60cm across and each chair is 59cm wide and 66cm deep, so it is worth measuring your balcony or patio first.
What is the seat height of the chairs?
The seats are 41cm from the ground, the arms 60cm, and each chair stands 89cm tall overall. They are sold with the set's own 74cm table, so there is no separate table to match.
How much weight can each chair take?
Each chair is rated to a maximum load of 110kg. If you plan to move the set about, each chair weighs 5.48kg and the table weighs 7.88kg.
Do the chairs stack?
Yes. Both chairs are stackable, so they take up less room when you put them away in a shed or garage at the end of the season.
Is the steel protected against rust?
Both the chairs and the table are powder coated to prevent corrosion and damage from the weather. To keep that finish in good order, we suggest a cover whenever the set is not in use; one is not included.
Does the set arrive assembled?
Partial assembly is required. The table arrives flat-packed, and a user guide with instructions is included so you can put it together.
