‘Absolutely thrilled with this bistro set it’s fabulous. Great quality, great price and great service. Bravo Charlies I’ll be back’
Despite unusually frequent downpours, gale force winds and cooler temperatures for late May, summer is on the horizon, with a heatwave predicted for the the last May bank holiday weekend and beyond. Taking that into consideration, many of us are trying our best to get our gardens and outdoor spaces ready for entertaining and barbecues as the heatwaves ensue.
For those who love enjoying breakfast, lunch or dinner outside when the weather permits, we’ve found a great deal on a little bistro set that’s ideal for both small and large gardens whose price has been slashed by £60. The 2 Seater Steel Garden Furniture Bistro Set from homeware brand Charlies usually retails at £129.99, but it’s been reduced to £69.99 in a deal shoppers are calling ‘too good to be true’.
Exceeding the expectation of one shopper, John, who praised the set as being ‘lightweight but really sturdy’, he left a five star review which read: “The set was remarkably cheap and at £69.99 (sale price) it seemed to be too good to be true. The good news is that it isn’t too good to be true and the positive reviews on Charlies were spot on!”
He added: “The set was very well packaged and it took us less than 10 minutes to assemble – didn’t even need to read the instructions. The table and chairs are fairly lightweight but they are really sturdy, and the seats are really spacious even for me (6’2″ and 16 stone!). Visually the set looks great and to say the least it exceeded our expectations. We are well impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this set!”
Promising low maintainence, the bistro set comes with two stackable chairs and a matching round bistro table that is made entirely from steel mesh, making its weight light for easy portability. Coming in a charcoal grey hue, the set should be relatively easy to clean and is great for adding a touch of class to an outdoor terrace, patio or deck.

Charlies’ 2 Seater Steel Garden Furniture Bistro Set comprises two stackable chairs and a round table.
For shoppers who want to add a bit more colour to their outdoor space, Dunelm’s Bergen Round Bistro Table with 2 Alma Armchairs comes in a range of hues from Chilli Red to Avocado Green and costs £249. Needing something a smidge more comfortable? Habitat’s Habitat Scoop 2 Seater Metal Garden Bistro Set, £180, comes in an olive green colourway and features a pair of curved steel chairs on which deep cushions sit, and a neat round table.
While the mesh material is touted as being relatively fast drying, the brand recommends using a furniture cover for keeping the set in pristine condition year round.
Simple and effective, the set has been loved by shoppers who have snapped up this deal, with an overall 4.5 star rating, with one customer loving it so much they snapped up a second. They said: “This the second set we have ordered, comfortable and stable.” Someone else echoed this and said: “Love this bistro set so we ordered another set. Excellent price, service and prompt delivery.”
Another happy shopper remarked on their purchase: “Absolutely thrilled with this bistro set it’s fabulous. Great quality, great price and great service. Bravo Charlie’s I’ll be back.”
Someone else noted: “Perfect set for tea break in the garden. Chairs are comfortable even without cushions.”
With its quality having impressed all reviewers, most comments don’t have any negative feedback over the 2 Seater Steel Garden Furniture Bistro Set. The only drawback mentioned by one shopper was that for those who want more seating in the same style, two bistro sets need to be purchased – they said: “Comfortable strong construction. Just a shame there isn’t the option to buy more chairs as it only comes with two chairs. We had to buy two sets so have a spare table.” So keep this in mind.
This bistro set isn’t the only reduction Charlies is offering keen gardeners this season, as it’s offers also include discounts on a range of furniture from sofa sets to dining collections. For example, those who want to host a bigger gathering can save £100 on Charlies’ Wild Garden York 6 Seater Steel Garden Furniture Dining Set With 2.7m Parasol.
Costing £299 down from £399, the set seats six people comfortably, and is made up of supportive textilene chairs, a generously sized dining table, and a matching parasol.
With a sophisticated sleek design, the table is finished with a glass top (making it easy to clean) and a wood grain design for ‘a subtle touch of warmth’. Perhaps its best feature, however, is the accompanying parasol.
Measuring at 2.7m, the parasol has a nifty crank and tilt mechanism that lets its users adjust easily and quickly for optimum shade coverage. While it seats six people, the dining set has been complimented by shoppers for being ‘perfect for daily use’ in a ‘small garden’. One person remarked: “I have a small garden so this furniture is perfect for daily use and also when entertaining family and friends. Table and chairs are sturdy and comfortable.”
One thing to note is that it doesn’t fold away, so will need to be kept out year round.
For people wanting something a little more plush to add to their garden furniture, bringing the inside out, Charlies has knocked £200 off its Wild Garden Chester 9 Seater Aluminium Reclining Garden Furniture Corner Dining Set, which now costs £1,499.99 instead of £1,699.99.
Ideal for larger gardens, the set consists of a modular corner sofa, a reclining armchair, and a handy bench. Seating up to 10 people comfortably, the set’s high-backed seating has luxury reclining features, while the modular sofa can be rearranged easily to suit any garden layout. This also makes it versatile for just sitting and soaking up the sunshine, or hosting family dinners.
The set comes with a ceramic glass topped table, and light grey cushions that neatly contrast its sturdy aluminium frame in a darker charcoal powder coat.
