When my partner and I moved into an apartment with a balcony, agreeing on how to decorate was a challenge. The one thing we could agree on: our perfect patio set needed to be under $300 — but it couldn’t look cheap. Also, it needed to be comfortable for lounging, eating and even working from home.
To our surprise, we landed on a charming, neutral-hued rattan Better Homes & Gardens set-up from Walmart of all places. This three-piece set includes two wicker bistro chairs and a wicker-top bistro table and I couldn’t be more pleased. When we snagged it, the set retailed for $344 but was discounted to $247. Today, it’s an extra 20% off, meaning your new favorite outdoor furniture trio is currently less than $200.
After nearly a year of use, this set has stood up to the elements and still looks timeless, elegant and brand new.
Given the competitive price, I was worried that it would look and feel dinky or cheap, but after four seasons, I am confident in this purchase. The set was specially designed to be weather-resilient and durable, and I can attest to the fact that it’s both incredibly sturdy and super comfortable — no squeezing bums into too-small seats here.
The frames are made with ultra-strong, rust-resistant steel and wrapped in cute all-weather wicker. The cushions are decked out in fade-resistant polyester fabric with 50% recycled material that can easily be machine-washed. I’ve washed them several times, and they come out looking like new each time.
Before buying, my concerns were both aesthetic and practical. I worried a wicker set could look too cutesy or too small to comfortably seat us both at the same time. I was hoping to find a vintage wrought iron set on Etsy, but the options were slim and too expensive.
My partner and I have different design tastes and it’s a feat to find furniture that meets in the middle. In the end, this wicker set was the perfect compromise.
Because the table and chairs are so hefty and well made, they don’t feel like they’ve come straight from your grandmother’s house in Florida. It’s an updated version of old-school wicker furniture. Reviewers compliment being pleasantly surprised by the size and sturdiness of the set, noting the table is bigger than it seems in pictures. It is slightly larger than I thought it would be, but it doesn’t crowd the balcony in the slightest.
The table is large enough for us to have dinner or use our laptops at the same time. It’s our favorite place to have morning coffee, work from home and enjoy dinner on a warm evening. The neutral hues keep things subtle and classic and don’t clash with the vibrancy of our potted plants and urban garden. It was also easy to put together and didn’t cause an Ikea-level couple fight.
As balcony season returns, I’m happy to say the Better Homes & Gardens bistro set is a fantastic investment, especially considering it is so well-priced. I would buy it again in a heartbeat and am still amazed at the fact that we found it at Walmart. Who knew it had such stylish furniture? If you’re on the hunt for a new patio set — let’s be twins.
“I am so happy with this patio set. It took me about an hour to put together by myself. The instructions were easy to read (and now you know I am a woman and put them together myself) the parts were marked or the picture clearly described them, and they even sent a nice little tool to put it all together with! They are comfortable and sturdy, and the best thing about them is my 6’5” 215lb husband can sit in them without them disappearing or him looking like he’s sitting at a kids table! Would absolutely buy again!” — Debbie
“I bought this for our covered front porch which is on the smaller side. The chairs are comfortable, this set was easy to put together and I love the look of it.” — Heather
“I was happily surprised that these pieces are well-made, sturdy, and has great back support. The cushions are also very nice and thick. The table was larger than I was expecting, which is great so that there is room to have a meal. Assembly was OK, could’ve been better could’ve been worse. Overall, this is great and I am looking forward to using it!” — Allie
“I bought this set for my outdoor balcony and it is so pretty that I am using it as an indoor bistro set instead! It was easy to assemble. I would definitely recommend this set for outdoor or indoor use.” — Beth
“Absolutely love this furniture set! It’s super cute and the neutral colors are aesthetically pleasing. Comfortable to sit in and easy to put together. I would recommend having your own tools because the tool did break after the table and first chair were put together.” — Cassandra
