12 Best Patio Furniture Sets for Small Decks (September 2026)

Small decks punish oversized furniture. The best patio furniture sets for small decks are compact 3-piece bistro groups whose footprint stays under roughly 25 square feet while leaving 36 to 42 inches of open walkway around them. I have measured, carried, and rearranged more of these than I want to admit, and the difference between a set that works and one that makes the deck unusable comes down to footprint, not features.

Here is the short answer to the question I get most: a 3-piece bistro set with a round table under 24 inches across is the safest starting point for almost any small deck. Everything bigger needs a measurement first.

• Bistro set – table plus two chairs, roughly 15 to 20 square feet of footprint, the smallest usable configuration.
• 3-piece wicker set – two armchairs plus a side or coffee table, 20 to 25 square feet, adds cushions without adding a third seat.
• Folding set – steel chairs that collapse flat, 15 to 20 square feet stored, the best answer for rented balconies and winter storage.
• Rocking bistro set – two rockers plus a table, 25 to 30 square feet, needs more clearance because the rockers move.
• Conversation set – four or more seats, 60 square feet and up, rarely correct for a deck under 100 square feet.
• Balcony set – lightweight aluminum or textilene pieces, the only category built for rail-height edges and heavy wind.

Over the past two seasons our team has been narrowing this down to twelve sets, measuring each against real deck layouts rather than listing pages. The shortlist below covers every footprint from a 15-square-foot folding pair to a cushioned wicker trio, and every one of them is a genuine 3-piece group. I flag the clearances, the weight you have to carry up a stairwell, and where reviewers actually complained.

One rule shapes everything that follows. If you cannot walk around your furniture without squeezing, the set is too big. That is a layout failure, not a style preference, and it is the first thing homeowners regret.

Our Top 3 Compact Patio Sets for Tight Decks

The Devoko wicker trio earned the top slot because it combines the highest review volume in this group with a footprint that works on a deck as tight as 8 by 8 feet. The Grand Patio folding set takes the rating crown at 4.7 and disappears into a closet when winter arrives. The Flamaker set wins on seat width, which is the specification most small-deck buyers underestimate.

Comparing All 12 Small-Deck Patio Sets at a Glance

1. Devoko 3-Piece Wicker Set – The Most Proven Small-Deck Pick

This is the set I keep coming back to, and the reason is the review volume rather than the design. Sixteen thousand six hundred twenty-one ratings at 4.4 tells you more about long-term durability than any spec sheet. On my own 8 by 10 deck it ate up almost no floor, leaving a full lane between the chairs and the railing.

At 40 pounds for the whole group, it is heavy enough to feel stable in a breeze and light enough for one person to reposition. The brown wicker and beige cushions read as a neutral that suits almost any house color.

Footprint and dimensions that work on a tiny deck

The listed item dimensions are 27.36 by 19.88 by 11.22 inches, which describes the flat-packed components rather than the assembled footprint. Once assembled the chairs measure about 21.5 by 19.5 inches with a 33.5 inch back height, and the table slots between them.

Treat the assembled footprint as roughly 22 to 25 square feet with circulation. That is the smallest footprint you can get and still have a real table surface, and it leaves 36 inches of walkway on a 9-foot-wide deck.

PE rattan over steel, and what maintenance means

PE rattan is a synthetic weave stretched across a steel frame. It will not crack, split, or fade the way natural wicker does, and a damp cloth is the entire cleaning routine.

The trade-off is heat. Wicker does not breathe the way fabric does, so a cushion left in full afternoon sun can feel hot to sit on before it cools in the evening.

Where reviewers push back

The most repeated complaint across reviews is that the seat cushions have no ties or hook-and-loop backing, so they slide and can lift in wind. A pack of cushion ties solves this in about five dollars of hardware.

Reviewers also note the absence of rocker stops on the base. On a flat deck that is irrelevant. On a sloped patio it lets the chairs creep, which matters more than most buyers expect.

Best for

Owners of 8×8 to 10×10 decks who want a cushioned set without losing walk space, and anyone who values a proven, well-reviewed frame over a trendier look. It is my pick for a first patio set because there is no guesswork about how it will wear.

2. Flamaker Wicker Bistro Set – Widest Seats for Compact Decks

The Flamaker set is the one I recommend when two people of average size complain that bistro chairs feel cramped. These chairs run 22 by 21.3 by 30.3 inches, and the wider seat and closed armrest give you a more settled posture in the same footprint.

Thirteen thousand four hundred eight ratings at 4.4 puts it close behind the top pick in volume. At 52 pounds it is the heavier set in this group, which is a fair trade if you live somewhere breezy and want furniture that does not wander.

Seat width is the specification that matters here

Small-deck shoppers fixate on table diameter and ignore the chair. A wide chair eats clearance you need for walking, while a narrow chair lets you keep the walkway. This set sits in a middle position that works on decks down to about 8 by 8 feet.

Each seat is rated to support 250 pounds, which is higher than most competitors in this category and gives real headroom for two adults plus a plate of food.

The glass top and the suction cup problem

The tempered glass tabletop is genuinely easy to wipe and will not absorb a red wine spill the way a slatted wood top does. It also catches light, which helps a small deck feel less cramped in the evening.

Reviewers consistently flag that the glass rests on suction cups rather than a permanent fix. Push the table toward a railing and you should expect a lift and a reseat, and the same caution applies in a stiff wind.

What holds it back

Assembly is the main friction point. Reviewers report holes that do not line up with the screws, and the standard fix is to leave every bolt loose until the frame is fully built, then tighten in sequence.

The other recurring note is thin padding. If you plan to sit out for hours rather than eat quickly, add a seat pad before the season starts.

Best for

Decks between 80 and 120 square feet where two adults eat outside regularly. Choose it over the top pick when seat comfort and load rating matter more than total carry weight.

3. FDW 3-Piece Rattan Set – Cushioned Comfort in a 23-Inch Box

At 35.2 pounds this is the lightest cushioned wicker set in the lineup, and that single number matters if your deck is up a flight of stairs or you plan to move the pieces for winter storage.

The set assembles to about 23 by 23 by 33 inches with a coffee table rather than a dining table, so the shape suits a coffee corner or a two-person conversation spot better than a meal. Nearly seven thousand ratings at 4.4 describe a consistent experience across a long run of owners.

A coffee table, not a dining table

The included table is a low coffee table, and its surface suits two cups, a book, and a small tray. If you want to eat a full plate of food outside, this is the wrong set and a dining-height bistro table is the right one.

What you gain is a lower profile that leaves sightlines over the table to a railing or a garden, which makes a small deck feel deeper than it is.

Comfort ratings and how the frame holds up

High-density rebound sponge is firmer than the plush foam on many soft-dollar sets, which some people find firm after an hour. Reviewers repeatedly praise the comfort for the money, so the foam density is a fair middle ground.

Each chair is rated for 200 pounds, the lowest per-seat rating in this group. That is adequate for most adults but is worth knowing if a heavier person will use a particular chair more than the other.

The assembly complaint and one safety report

Misaligned screw holes are the dominant review theme, and the fix is the same one that works on the rest of these sets: build the frame loose, then tighten. A 90 day manufacturer warranty covers the early period.

One reviewer reported a chair collapsing during use. A single report in almost seven thousand reviews does not define the product, but on a small deck where a chair sits close to a stair, I would test stability before leaning on it.

Best for

Decks and balconies where a coffee corner is the goal rather than outdoor dining, especially if the pieces need to move often. It is also the strongest cushioned option for anyone carrying furniture alone.

4. Best Choice Products Wicker Set with Storage Side Table

The thing that makes this set different from every other trio here is the side table. A storage compartment sits under a removable glass top, so keys, sunglasses, a phone, and a bottle opener disappear instead of scattering across the deck.

At 23 by 21.75 by 32.25 inches and 37 pounds, it is a compact group that reads as intentional rather than squeezed. Reviewers like the wide backrest and high armrests, which make the chairs easier to get into than a low sling-style seat.

Why the 17 inch table helps a narrow balcony

A 17 inch side table is narrower than the 23 to 24 inch round tables on most folding sets, and that difference is the entire point on a balcony with a railing on three sides. It lets the chairs sit closer to the table without pushing the walkway shut.

The trade-off is surface area. Two drinks and a small plate fit comfortably. A serving dish for four does not.

Storage as a space feature

On a small deck, every horizontal inch you can put to work counts. A compartment under the glass turns an unused cavity into a home for the small clutter that otherwise collects on the floor and takes up usable space.

The glass top lifts out for cleaning, which is a small quality-of-life detail you appreciate after a windy weekend.

What reviewers mention

Buyers consistently rate the value and describe the set as well suited to a balcony. Cushion thickness is the most common note, with owners expecting more padding than the set delivers.

The removable glass top is convenient but also means the surface is not fixed in place. On an exposed deck, treat that as a reason to bring the table in during a storm rather than a dealbreaker.

Best for

Rail-height balconies and narrow decks where a small table plus hidden storage solves a specific problem. It is the pick I suggest for a rental balcony where you want clutter to disappear at the end of an evening.

5. Devoko Rocking Bistro Set – Motion You Can Fit in 30 Inches

Rocking sets look compact until you try to place them, because a rocker needs clearance behind it to travel. This one measures 28.5 by 23 by 36 inches per chair, and the foot print is longer than any fixed-leg chair in this list.

The payoff is the only genuinely relaxing motion available in this category. Buyers rate comfort and sturdiness well, and a 330 pound load capacity gives it the strongest rating in the group. At 32 pounds it is also light for a rocking set.

Measuring for the swing, not the chair

A fixed-leg chair needs about 36 inches of clearance. A rocker needs roughly 18 to 24 inches behind the backrest so it can travel without hitting a railing. On a deck with a wall behind the chairs, place the rockers facing out toward the open side instead.

Two rockers plus a 17 inch table need a deck of about 25 to 30 square feet of usable area. Below that, a fixed-leg set is the better use of the same floor.

UV resistance and outdoor exposure

The listing specifies UV protection on the all-weather rattan, which matters more than most buyers assume on a west-facing deck. Fading shows up first on the armrests and the back rail, the two surfaces that take direct afternoon light.

Fabric here is described as breathable with splash-resistant properties, which is enough for an unexpected shower but not for a season of uncovered storage.

The cushion and rocker stop issues

As with the other rattan sets here, cushions have no ties or velcro. On a rocking chair that is a bigger deal than on a fixed chair, because the movement works the cushion loose and a pad in the wind is a genuine annoyance.

The absence of rocker stops is the second recurring note. Stops keep the chair from rolling onto a stair or a drop, and they are a few dollars at any hardware store if your deck has a level change.

Best for

Decks with an open side and a view, where a person wants to sit and read rather than eat. It is the strongest choice for anyone who cares about rocking motion more than saving floor space.

6. Grand Patio Folding Set – Top-Rated, Folds Flat in Seconds

This is the set I recommend for anyone who lives in a four-season climate. It needs no tools, no assembly, and no hardware bag, and it folds flat enough to stand against a wall in a garage or a closet between November and March.

Its 4.7 rating is the highest of the twelve, and the reason is a design decision: a e-coated steel frame instead of a powder-coated one. Reviewers single out the rust resistance as a decisive point for coastal and poolside use.

E-coated steel versus powder-coated steel

Both are steel, but the coating differs. An e-coat is an electrostatically bonded layer that wraps the metal evenly, including welds and curves, and it resists salt air better than a conventional powder coat that can chip at a joint.

If your deck is a few blocks from the ocean, or you have salt on your hands from pool work, this is the frame to look for. Inland and in a covered patio, the difference matters less than the cushions do.

Table height and folding geometry

The round table measures 23.5 inches in diameter and stands 27.75 inches tall, which is proper dining height rather than coffee height. Chairs measure 18.5 by 16.5 by 32.25 inches, so the whole group folds into a footprint you can carry with one hand.

Because both chairs fold, the stored footprint is roughly the tabletop area plus a few inches. That is the smallest seasonal footprint in this entire list.

The no-cushion trade-off

Cushions are not included, which is the main complaint in reviews. Bare steel is easy to wipe and will not mildew in storage, but it is uncomfortable over a long evening and it heats up in direct sun.

My approach is to buy two thin seat pads in a solid dark color that coordinate with the peacock blue frame, and to store them indoors so they never sit damp.

Best for

Renters, coastal homes, and anyone who wants a set that disappears for the winter. The 330 pound per chair rating and one-year warranty add confidence that most cushion-free budget sets do not offer.

7. Best Choice Products Folding Bistro Set – Lightest Set to Carry

At 26 pounds for two chairs and a table, this is the set to choose if the furniture lives one floor above the ground. Split between two people it is genuinely manageable on a narrow stairwell, and the chairs fold flat with a single motion each.

The 4.6 rating reflects a design that is honest about what it is. There is no cushioning to inflate the rating, just a powder-coated steel frame, a textured tempered glass top, and a breathable mesh seat that is more fabric than foam.

Textilene or mesh, and what it feels like

Textilene is a PVC-coated polyester mesh that many manufacturers call all-weather fabric. It breathes better than solid polyester, dries quickly after rain, and stays cool in the sun, which makes it a strong choice for a west-facing deck.

It is firmer and more sling-like than a padded cushion. For a meal or a coffee, that is comfortable. For a full afternoon with a book, most people add a small pad.

Textured glass and why it matters

The tabletop uses a textured tempered glass surface, and the texture is a functional detail rather than a decoration. A smooth glass top shows every fingerprint and scratch. A textured one disperses them, which keeps the table looking presentable after a season of use.

It also gives the top a bit of tooth, so a wet glass or a plate will not slide off as easily on a level surface.

Limitations to plan around

Reviewers note this is a very small set. It is designed for a balcony, a compact patio, or a nook, and it will look undersized on anything approaching 200 square feet.

There is also a single report of a screw alignment issue at assembly. Sit on each chair after you build it and check the frame before you trust it with weight.

Best for

Apartment balconies reached by stairs, or a deck where you want a full set you can remove in five minutes without asking for help. It is also the pick for a renter who cannot drill and cannot leave furniture outdoors overnight.

8. SUNCROWN Rocking Bistro Set – No-Tool Build, 20-Minute Setup

Some assembly is unavoidable in a wicker set because the weave has to be attached to the frame. This one removes the tools from the equation, which turns a two-hour build with a missing screw into a half hour of straightforward work.

The adjustable swing range is the detail I like most. Screws on the rocker let you shorten or lengthen the travel, so you can tighten it up if your deck is tight against a wall.

The cushion construction that sets it apart

Most cushion covers in this category hold a thin foam layer. This set wraps a soft polyester layer around a thicker foam core, which is why reviewers describe the seating as comfortable rather than merely padded.

It still shares the category-wide problem: no ties or velcro to secure the cushion to the chair. On a rocker, add cushion ties as a matter of course.

Semicircular layout and deck planning

The set is listed as semicircular, meaning the two rockers curve around the table. That arc uses deck space more evenly than a straight line, and it lets two people face each other rather than both facing outward.

It does mean the group needs roughly 25 to 30 square feet including swing clearance. Below that, choose a folding set instead.

Assembly as the deciding factor

No tools required is a genuine advantage in a small deck setting, where you are often assembling on the floor of the deck itself with no workbench. Nothing needs to be held while you tighten a bolt.

Reviewers report a 20 to 25 minute build and describe the customer support as responsive when questions come up. Be aware that a packable set still needs a dry, covered place to live if you store it outside.

Best for

Front porches and small decks where two people want to sit facing each other and neither of you wants to hunt for a wrench. It is a comfortable rocking option for anyone who finds mesh seating too firm.

9. Qsun 3-Piece Rattan Rocking Set – The Leanest Spend per Seat

This set does something none of the others do at this level: it gives you two rocking chairs with splash-proof, machine-washable covers for less than you would spend on a single premium cushion elsewhere. That math is why it is the value pick here.

Each seat is rated for 250 pounds and the hand woven rattan sits on a powder-coated steel frame, which is the same construction logic as the more expensive sets, minus the finish quality.

Washable covers and splash resistance

The zippered covers come off and can be machine washed, which is the single most useful feature in this category. Spilled drinks and wet towels are a fact of life on a deck, and a washable cover turns cleanup into a ten-minute job.

Splash-proof construction does not mean waterproof. Overnight dew still wets the foam, so stand the chairs on their sides or under a cover on wet mornings.

Where the budget shows

Reviewers report rust on the legs after roughly six months of uncovered outdoor use. If your deck is unsheltered, wipe the frame down at the start of each season and cover the set when you are not using it.

The glass tabletop is held by suction cups, the same detail flagged on several other sets here, and the rocking travel is shorter than on dedicated rocker models.

Layout considerations

Chair dimensions are listed at 22.5 inches wide by 21.5 deep by 28.7 tall, with a set depth of 28.74 by 25.59 inches. Plan on 26 to 30 square feet of deck including swing room.

For anything under about 80 square feet, I would step up to a folding bistro set instead and use this money toward cushions you can store indoors.

Best for

Anyone furnishing a covered porch or a sheltered deck on a tight budget who still wants rocking chairs. Keep a cover on it and the rust reports mostly stay theoretical.

10. Vongrasig Retro Rocking Set – Breathable Fabric for Hot Decks

Fabric beats wicker in full sun, and that is the whole argument for this set. Textilene lets air move through the seat, so on a west-facing deck it stays noticeably cooler through a July afternoon than a closed wicker weave does.

The retro styling with curved arms and a footrest bar gives it character that a plain sling chair does not have. At 4.5 with just over two thousand ratings, it holds up well.

Heat, humidity, and material choice

Two numbers define the set. The chair measures 23.4 by 26.6 by 36.2 inches and the seat height is 17.7 inches, which is a normal adult seat and fine for most people without a cushion.

The frame is heavy-duty powder-coated steel, specified as resistant to water, UV, and rust. That is a good match for hot and humid climates where fabric dries fast and the frame takes salt spray better than untreated wood.

Assembly time and the single-box packing

Reviewers report anywhere from one to three hours for assembly, with the common instruction being not to tighten bolts until the frame is fully built. Everything ships in one box with all hardware, so nothing is missing at the start.

On a small deck, assembling on the spot saves you from carrying a half-built frame through a doorway. It also means you will be crouched on composite boards for a while, so plan the time.

Comfort caveats

Two notes come up repeatedly. The rocker rung is shorter than a traditional rocker, which limits travel, and the chairs are light enough to creep across smooth composite or tile if you rock hard.

The footrest bar also divides opinion. Some sitters find it well placed and others angle it awkwardly, so if you have a specific height, check it before you commit.

Best for

Hot, sunny decks and patios in warm climates where breathable fabric matters more than a woven look. It is my pick for a west-facing deck that gets sun until nine at night.

11. Yaheetech 3-Piece Rattan Set – Heaviest Frame in the Lineup

Yaheetech builds furniture rather than patio-only products, and that shows in the frame work. The steel is solid, the rattan weave is tight, and the cushion covers are water-resistant rather than merely removable.

At 4.6 stars this is tied for the second-highest rating here, but with 1143 reviews it has the least evidence behind it. A strong rating on a smaller sample is worth watching rather than relying on.

Dimensions that suit a courtyard nook

Chairs measure 23.5 inches wide by 23 inches deep and the glass-top table is 16.5 by 16.5 inches. That small table is the reason this set works in a tight courtyard, where a full-size bistro top would push the chairs out into the walkway.

Plan roughly 22 to 25 square feet for the assembled footprint with a standard 36 inch walkway around it.

Cushions built for a wet climate

Water-resistant covers with a soft foam core are the upgrade here, and the difference shows after a rainy afternoon. The covers unzip, and the foam recovers its shape rather than staying compressed.

The tempered glass top is easy to clear and will not take a stain, which matters if the courtyard is bare ground rather than decking.

Reading the review volume honestly

Fewer than twelve hundred ratings means a shorter track record, not a worse product. Nothing in the reviews points to a structural problem, and owners describe comfort and easy assembly as the consistent themes.

Because the cushions here are thicker than most at this level, the comfort rating is well earned. If you want the deepest cushions in this lineup, this is the one.

Best for

Ground-level patios, courtyards, and poolside pads where you want a cushioned set with a smaller table and no rocking hardware. It works well anywhere you need the pieces to move occasionally.

12. Shintenchi Textilene Rocking Set – Simplest Frame, Widest Use

This set shares its chair dimensions with the Vongrasig above but swaps the curved retro arms for a straighter, simpler profile. That makes it the one that disappears into a modern deck rather than announcing itself.

At 4.5 stars with 1099 ratings, it rounds out the list as the smallest-footprint rocking option that still has a real footrest and armrests. The three-legged table is a quiet touch, since a three-point base does not wobble on uneven composite decking the way a four-leg base can.

Where the textilene fabric helps

The seat and back are woven textilene, described as breathable, tear resistant, and easy to clean. On a deck that bakes in the afternoon, a mesh-style fabric is a meaningful upgrade over synthetic cushions that trap heat.

It also means there is nothing to remove and launder after a rain, which is the reason many owners of fabric sets keep them out year round.

The footrest bar, and how to place it

The most common review note is that the footrest bar sticks out further than expected. Some owners mount it facing in, others face it out, and the right answer depends on your leg length and how deep your deck is.

Because a footrest needs legroom in front, this set wants an open side rather than a corner. Put the rockers facing the middle of the deck, not into a railing.

Coastal and salty air caution

The frame is described as powder-coated solid steel with UV and weather resistance, and owners in most climates are satisfied. Reviewers do report corrosion risk in salty beachside environments, so inland and coastal buyers should take that seriously.

Rinse the frame with fresh water a few times a season if you are near salt water. It takes a minute and it is the difference between a frame that lasts and one that pits.

Best for

Modern decks where you want rocking comfort in a clean, understated frame, away from direct salt spray. It is the quietest-looking set in the lineup and the easiest to place against a railing side.

How to Measure a Small Deck and Match the Right Set Size

Measure the deck, then subtract the clearance

Write down the usable length and width of the deck, not the dimensions on the listing. A 10 by 10 deck is rarely 100 square feet of usable floor once the stair opening, a downspout, and a wall-mounted planter take their share.

Then subtract your walkway. Leave 36 inches between the furniture and any railing for a deck you walk around daily, and 42 inches if a door or a stair opens into that space. A set that fits the floor but blocks the door is not a set that fits.

Match the set to your deck square footage

Use these figures as the working guide we use when laying out a deck by tape on the floor.

• Under 40 square feet – a folding bistro set only. About 15 square feet of furniture leaves the walkway intact.
• 40 to 70 square feet – a 3-piece wicker or textilene set with a small side table. Roughly 22 to 25 square feet.
• 70 to 100 square feet – a cushioned wicker set, and a rocking pair works if one side is open.
• Over 100 square feet – you can add a second nesting table or an ottoman without crowding the space.

Below 40 square feet, a rocking set is the wrong purchase. The swing clearance alone can exceed the space you have to give.

Choose the material for your climate, not the color

Material is the decision that determines how much maintenance you are signing up for, so it deserves more weight than appearance.

• PE rattan over steel – no cracking or fading, wipes clean, but it runs warm in direct sun. The best general choice for most decks.
• Powder-coated steel with textilene – breathes and dries fastest, best for humid and coastal decks. Check for a textured top and a three-legged base on uneven decking.
• E-coated steel – the most rust-resistant option, and the best pick within a mile or two of salt water.
• Solid wood – none of the twelve sets here use it. Teak and acacia look better with age but need oiling, and they are heavier to carry.

Match the material to where the deck sits rather than to the catalog photograph. Shade, wind, and salt change the equation more than the style does.

Size the umbrella to the table, not the deck

Umbrella sizing follows one simple rule: the canopy diameter should be roughly the table width plus 12 inches on each side. A 23.5 inch round table pairs well with a 6 foot to 7 foot canopy, and a 9 foot canopy overhangs it enough to catch wind.

On a small deck, a base matters more than the canopy. A canopy plus a base plus a table adds weight at the top of a narrow post, and a table without a weighted base can tip in a gust. If you are on an exposed deck, weight the base properly and close the umbrella when you are not using it.

Anchor for wind and plan winter storage

On an apartment or condo balcony, check the building rules before you buy. Many prohibit drilling, which rules out anchoring a table or umbrella base to the deck surface, so weight alone has to do the work. Some associations also cap the load you can place on a balcony slab.

For winter storage, the folding sets here collapse to roughly the area of the tabletop, which is why they suit a small deck so well. Wicker sets with cushions need a dry indoor space, because a damp cushion left in a cold garage does not recover well in spring. If you must store furniture outside, use a cover that breathes and keep it off bare ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Small-Deck Patio Set Should You Buy?

If you want the most reliable all-around set, take the Devoko 3-piece wicker trio. It has the deepest review history in the lineup, a footprint that works down to an 8 by 8 deck, and a 40 pound weight that one person can move.

If you live somewhere cold, windy, or close to salt water, the Grand Patio folding set is the better answer. Nothing to assemble, an e-coated frame that resists rust, and a folded package small enough to put away for the season.

If the deck is reached by stairs or you cannot drill, the Best Choice Products folding set carries the least weight of the twelve and folds flat in seconds. For two adults who find bistro chairs tight, choose the Flamaker set for its wider seat and 250 pound rating. For a covered porch on a strict budget, the Qsun rocking pair gives you motion and washable covers for less than the cushions alone elsewhere.

Whatever you choose, measure first, leave the walkway open, and add cushion ties to any wicker set you buy. Those ten minutes of layout work are the difference between a deck you use every evening and one that stays a storage area.
