Best Choice’s acacia bistro set surely didn’t disappoint. At under $180, the set is money well spent. It is less expensive than many similar sets I’ve seen on Amazon. Price is a major consideration for me, so the set’s price ultimately sealed the deal for me.
If you’re searching for an inexpensive and rustic portable bistro set, look no further. I’ve been using this for over 8 months and the set is everything I had hoped for. It is indeed portable, beautiful, and sturdy.
First Impression
The first thing I noticed after opening the box was the chemical smell. In my case, the smell completely faded after a week. There is no setup needed as the chairs and table come pre-assembled. They arrive folded flat in a box. People who hate putting things together would rejoice.
This cute little set is exactly what I needed for my terrace. It fits right where I had intented to put it while leaving sufficient space for me to move around.
Style
The beautiful color catches the eye. The surface has a smooth finish and doesn’t have any nicks. You can still see the natural wood grain that I find very attractive. The wood doesn’t have a glossy finish. That allows the set to give off a rustic feel. The finish just shows that excellent craftsmanship went into the making of this mini chat set. The design is perfect for those who prefer a farmhouse look over a modern one.
I like to keep my home warm and traditional. That is why I tend to stick to wood furniture. This acacia bistro set is no exception. The table and chairs goes very well with the rest of my furniture, so I can’t be happier.
Portability
The 2 chairs and round table can be folded flat for storage when not in use. They are also lightweight, making them easy to transport. You can easily move them around the house.
There is a clamp underneath the table that keeps it open. You need not worry about it folding flat on its own. I would strongly warn you against standing on top of the table and chairs. I doubt it could handle all the weight. You put them at a risk of breakage.
The bistro set is great for drinking tea or coffee any time of the day or simply having a chat. They can be moved in when it is hot or raining, and moved out when the weather’s pleasant.
Maintenance
You can leave the set outdoors but I don’t. I always fold them in and store them after use. The acacia can withstand the elements but I like to keep it in good condition for a long time. I apply teak oil every 4 months to keep the wood from looking dull. Do it more often if you have it outdoors. Caring for wood furniture can be a bit tricky, but I think the benefit that wood offers outweigh the cons.
Comfort
The chairs are not the most comfortable to sit on. You can add seat cushions, which I did. I bought those that can be tied down so they would stay in place. The back is tilted towards the back which makes lounging possible.
