Our 2-seater garden furniture sets offer several advantages over larger tables, especially if you have a small intimate outdoor space.
Their compact footprint, means they are the perfect solution for small decks, terraces, balconies, or for those looking to create a cosy spot for two in a quiet corner of a larger garden.
The Lazy Susan collection features several different shapes of garden tables, but for us, a round tabletop works best if you want that classic bistro cafe style.
Round tables take up less space and allow for easy movement. The compact design makes them a good fit for narrow or confined areas such as you find on balconies, small patios, or a more cosy corner of the.
Their versatility means they can be used for various purposes - whether enjoying a morning coffee with a good book, an evening drink with your partner, or a spot of brunch with a friend.
Bistro sets can be easily moved around your outdoor space too, allowing you to change the setting depending on your needs, such as following the sun or finding shade.
The 2-seater arrangement encourages close, intimate conversation, making it the ideal set for couples or enjoying the company of a close friend.
Whilst a small, round table is the perfect shape to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere, that is ideal for casual dining or relaxing.
Why buy a 2-seater garden bistro set from Lazy Susan
Our 2-seater bistro sets have a classic, charming look that will add a touch of elegance and some Parisienne café chic to your outdoor space.
They are available in various styles — from the traditional ornate metalwork of our London Rose in Antique Bronze (above) to the clean lines of our Eve in Slate Grey (below) with its braided border — you can choose a set that complements your outdoor décor.
The bigger the set the more pieces you need to clean and protect. With fewer pieces and a smaller surface area, a 2-seater bistro set is easier to clean, maintain, cover and store in bad weather.
Our cast aluminium is particularly low-maintenance too. Highly resistant to rust and stains, all it needs is a regular wash with warm soapy water, so it can withstand the elements with minimal care.
We looked at the advantages of affordable garden furniture in our budget-friendly options and ideas article, and 2-seaters featured prominently.
Bistro sets are generally more affordable than our larger outdoor furniture sets, making them a great option if you’re on a budget.
There’s crossover but our 2-seaters range in price from around £80 to £400, 4-seater sets from around £150 to £800, and our 6-seaters from around £730 to £1500.
If you need something stylish and functional with all the same durability but without a high price tag, then our 2-seaters offer real value for money.
And because of their small size, our bistro sets are easier to store during bad weather.
Many feature stackable chairs and we have our budget-friendly Alessia (pictured above) foldable tables and chairs, which can be easily stowed away in a garage or shed in the off-season or pulled out when needed.
The lightweight design and cast aluminium of all our bistro sets make them easy to pick up, move and store, giving you flexibility in how and where you use them.
A 2-seater patio bistro set from Lazy Season will transform even the smallest of outdoor spaces into a usable area, encouraging you to spend more time outside enjoying your garden, balcony, or patio.
With a dedicated, comfortable spot to sit and relax, you’ll find yourself spending more quality time in the fresh air.
In a small garden or courtyard, a bistro set is the perfect focal point, adding charm without overwhelming the space and making it feel cramped.
They punch well above their weight, and what they lack in size, they more than make up in terms of functionality. Perfect for daily use, they are the perfect intimate setting to catch up with loved ones.
How to choose the best 2-seater garden furniture set from our collection
The combination of space efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and functionality make our 2-seater garden furniture sets a popular choice as you’ll see in our Customer Photo Gallery (pictured above).
However, choosing the right set from our bistro collection involves considering a few basic decision-makers to ensure it meets your needs and complements your outdoor space:
1. Assess your outside space
The place to start before purchasing any size set is to carefully measure the space where you plan to put it.
If you only follow one step, this is the one. It will help you determine if the furniture will fit and function comfortably without overcrowding the area.
Our How to buy the right 2-seater article looks at how to measure to create good scale, traffic flow, and patio style with our bistro sets.
2. Consider the style, design and colour
Look for a set that complements the existing style of your home and garden. We offer a range of designs, from classical and ornate to a more sleek and modern aesthetic, all in a range of colours.
White is a popular choice for a fresh, clean, chic Parisienne cafe look, but consider whether it will suit your existing outdoor décor.
We also offer other finishes like antique bronze and slate, and sandstone, which might better match your style. Decide whether you prefer a more decorative, traditional design or something a little more simple.
3. Check the material and quality of our range
At Lazy Susan we are known for our signature high-quality cast aluminium, which is durable, rust and weather-resistant, and perfectly suited to the UK climate. If you don’t buy from our website, then you must ensure that the set you choose is built to last.
Cast aluminium is a great choice as it requires minimal maintenance but is built to stand up to the elements. Our sets also feature ergonomic seating for comfort and the option to add bundle deals and make big savings on accessories such as fitted cushions, parasols, etc when you checkout.
4. Consider table size and shape
Think about what you’ll be using the table for. A small bistro table is perfect for intimate dining, drinks and snacks for 2, but a larger seater set might be better for family dining and garden parties. If you need to move your furniture around frequently, then consider how easy it is to move.
Cast aluminium is robust but lightweight compared to other materials, making it a good choice if portability is important. If you need to store our furniture during the winter, then a 2-seater is easy to move, store, and stack.
5. Consider any additional features
Our cast aluminium is easy to clean and requires minimal upkeep. Even if exposed to the elements year-round, it will not require re-sealing or oiling. It features a tough powder-coated finish to prevent it from rusting or fading.
If you’re unsure about the colour or finish of our furniture and accessories, you can order our free metal and fabric sample swatches on our website to compare with other manufacturers and see how they will fit in your outdoor space before you click buy.
6. Read customer reviews and look at customer photos
Don’t just take our word for it. Look at the customer testimonials on our website for insight into the customer service, comfort, durability, and appearance of the furniture. This will provide valuable information on how the furniture performs and functions over time.
Take your time to compare different 2-seater sets within the Lazy Susan collection, see what people have said about them and look at the customer photos to see which set best fits your space, style, and functional needs.
7. Set a budget and use our filters to see what fits
Determine how much you’re willing to spend. We have a range of options at different price points, so you can find something that fits your budget. Use the price filter to slide to the price you want to pay and narrow down your options.
Don’t forget to consider the long-term value of your purchase. While our sets might have a higher upfront cost than other materials or retailers, their durability, low maintenance, and timeless design will make them a better investment in the long run.
8. Think about future your plans
Finally, think about if you might want to expand your outdoor furniture collection in the future. Opting for a set from our collection means that you can easily add on matching pieces later.
For example, our Mia is one of our largest 2-seater bistro tables with its 88cm tabletop. It is also available as a 4-seater set. If you can’t afford it, purchase the 2 now and add 2 additional garden chairs or a coordinating garden bench when you can afford to do so.
Our final thoughts…
In our view, by carefully considering the factors above, you can choose a 2-seater garden furniture set from the Lazy Susan website that not only looks great in your outdoor space but also provides comfort, durability, and style for years to come.
A 2-seater patio furniture set is a great choice if you have a small outdoor space or prefer more intimate gatherings. They provide a cosy spot to unwind on your own or are great if you're shopping on a budget
