Balcony Bistro Sets for Sale
Do you have a smaller outdoor space like a balcony or small deck, one of these Balcony Bistro Sets for Sale by Mainstays at Walmart will work nicely. I will look at several styles in this article and give you several options for your smaller area. There will be not umbrella holes, no seating for four and no big tables to fool with. You will get storage options for these sets when not in use.
I will start with the sling fabric chairs, as they are my most favorite of outdoor furniture. They are very comfortable without cushions and the fabric seems to last a very long time in the outdoor conditions, my set has been outside for more than 5 years and still looks like new.
For those that have storage problems or need to use their outdoor spaces for more than their bistro set, some of these sets will store in very small spaces without any trouble, some chairs will stack for storage solutions. The sets with cushions will need extra storage to make cushions last for several years.
Now let us look at some of my examples and see what will work best for you and your outdoor space.
Mainstays Sand Dune Bistro set
Price when the article was written: $84
Sling fabric available in blue with white aluminum frames or tan with a golden brown aluminum frame. This will give this collection a very different look. For the Blue fabric and white frame look, see the high table set below.
A square tempered glass top table will hold your drinks and snacks with a small band supporting the legs. The table is 24 inches square and 28 inches tall, just the right height for eating a small meal.
Chairs will have metal frames that will have a knitted durable fabric known as sling fabric in the outdoor furniture. This fabric dries very quickly and resists most stains. Animal droppings clean up very easily on this fabric.
The chair is 22.25 inches wide, 25 inches deep and 34.5 inches tall at the back. The seat is 18 inches from the ground and will hold 250 pounds of butt. The biggest complaint on these chairs is the width, as it is only 21.5 inches between the arms, very big butts will not fit, hope I do not get into trouble for this comment.
Chairs will stack if needed for storage. This set will fit well in small spaces and take very little of your time to take care of it.

Mainstays Bristol Springs Bistro Set
Price when the article was written: $89
Very similar to the Sand Dune set, the Bristol Springs set will have legs in the front only to connect to a base. This gives the chairs a little spring for some motion while sitting.

Mainstays Oakmont Meadows Bistro Set
Price when the article was written: $80
For those who have more tender buns, this set with seating cushions will work well. The straight leg chairs will have a cushion for seating and sling material for the seatback.
A smaller side type table is included in this set. The square tempered glass top is 16 inches across and 18 inches tall, much smaller than the others in this article.

The 100 percent polyester cushions are supported by sling-type fabric, you can remove this cushion and still use the chairs. Comfort will not be as good and you will sit quite low.
This set will be good for smaller people who need more cushion for their bottoms and do not want a full-sized table.
Mainstays Wrought Iron Bistro Set
Price when the article was written: $99
More traditional with wrought iron, this set does include a small cushion for comfort, although the seat is the same mesh as the back and can be used without the cushion if needed. Steel frames are powder coated for outdoor durability.
The round table is 24 inches wide and 24 inches tall, a little shorter than some in this article. The mesh top will hold glasses very stable and you will not have to worry about breaking a glass top.
The chairs are 22.5 inches wide, 26.5 inches deep and 33 inches tall. Straight legs and curved arms will help give these chairs some style. Chairs will stack for storage or if you need extra space. Each chair will support 225 pounds.
Red and white striped cushions are included, they are not very thick for long term comfort only 1.5 inches. The cushions come with an Olefin fabric cover, one of the best for outdoor furniture and a polyester filling. They are 21 inches deep and 20 inches wide if you need to replace them or what some cushions with a different color pallet.
I would still recommend storing these cushions when not in use to extend their outdoor life.
I have a similar set on my deck at the lake, it has been outside for at least 10 years without any rust problems. My chairs have a round seat and did not come with cushions, we made cushions for more comfort.
This set will work well for those who just want to leave their set out and just add cushions when they want to use it.

These are such nice Bistro sets and affordable too! Anyone of these sets would fit so nicely in our cozy yard, but I think the “Mainstays Forest Hills Bistro Set” is my favorite. Thanks for sharing!
Tara,
The Forest Hills set will be the most comfy on the bottom for long periods of time with its thick cushions. I have a bistro set that has some motion and it makes for comfort when using for an extended period of time.

Who knew that 7 bistro sets for sale for under $150 would have so many choices. I like the folding bistro set because it may work great for taking to the balloon field. Each year our town hosts a national balloon classic and in the early 80’s it was where the championships were held. My main question is do you think there will be any additional problems besides the back bracket when taking it places?
Eric,
The folding set would be easy to travel with and you can use it in multiple locations. I have the same chairs with my dining set at the lake, the only problem I have is folding the chairs sometimes. After you use them a couple of times, it is easier to figure out and work.
I like going to the balloon fest at a local town yearly. I have taken a ride on one and it is very different than a plane or helicopter ride, it is so quiet, except when they have a burn.
John
