Bar height patio furniture is exactly what it sounds like: patio furniture that is made to be the same height as a typical bar. These are also called bistro sets by many people, and they typically feature a very tall bistro table and two matching chairs. Typically made from wrought iron or welded steel, these patio sets are a simple stylish addition to many patios and can easily be used to complement other larger patio furniture collections.
Bar height patio furniture is a great choice for smaller patios where a traditional patio table and four chairs might overwhelm the space and appear too large. For apartment or condo dwellers with a small attached deck or patio area, bar height furniture can be a great choice as well, letting you enjoy the outdoors in style without having to resort to plastic white patio chairs from Wal-Mart.
You can also typically buy bar height patio furniture at a very reasonable price, typically $150 or less, so it’s not a budget buster like buying a nice teak patio furniture set. If you’ve just bought your first home and are looking for some basic patio furniture to get started with, bar height or bistro furniture is a great choice. It’s afforadable and very durable and easy to clean.
If you decide to upgrade later to a nicer patio set, you can always still use your old table and chairs somewhere else, as it’s small footprint allows you to use it both indoors and out. Many people use bar height and bistro furniture inside in smaller breakfast nooks or sunrooms, so it’s a very flexible set that can be used in various ways throughout most homes.
