Small Patio Furniture

Small patio furniture sets for tight spaces

Small patio furniture sets here seat 2 to 5 people and come as bistro, bar, dining, conversation or sofa sets. Smaller sets keep the footprint down while still giving you a table and seats.

Measure your patio first and leave room to pull chairs out and walk around the set, so the furniture does not crowd the space.

Patio furniture for small balconies

Patio furniture for small balconies works best when it is compact and light. Bistro sets are a natural fit, and some designs fold so you can store them when you need floor space.

Round tables tend to fit tight corners more easily than rectangular ones, and a folding chair or two can come out only when guests visit.

Small patio dining furniture

Small patio dining furniture here includes dining sets, plus a few counter-height and bar-height sets for taller tables. Some tables are round, square or rectangular, and some have an umbrella hole for shade.

A two-person bistro table is enough for coffee or a quick meal, while a set for 4 suits a small deck where you eat outside regularly.

Small patio furniture materials

Small patio furniture comes in materials such as HDPE, resin wicker, aluminum, steel, iron and solid wood, mainly acacia. Some sets add glass or sintered stone tops. HDPE and aluminum are easy to wipe clean and resist rust.

Cushions are included with some sets, and a cover helps any set last through the off season.

Small patio furniture with umbrella

Small patio furniture with an umbrella needs a table with an umbrella hole, and some of these bistro and dining tables have one. A market umbrella about 6 to 7 feet wide suits a two-person table, and a base should be weighted to keep it steady.

If your set has no umbrella hole, a clamp-on or freestanding umbrella can still add shade without taking much floor space.
