Suncrown
3-Piece Rocking Wicker Bistro Set
Check Price
Bottom Line

This set gets high marks in every category, but it really stands out for its comfort.

Pros

Crafted from black synthetic resin wicker that is both weather and UV resistant. Easy to put together. Great look, and very durable. Seats are roomy and comfortable. The fact that they rock is a big plus.

Cons

Set sits pretty low to the ground. Picture-only directions were the only problem with an otherwise easy installation. Cushions do not come with ties and are at the mercy of the wind.

Rose Patio Bistro Set

Bottom Line

Good for small spaces, this set has a color, finish, and rose pattern that buyers love.

Pros

Available in antique bronze and verdi green finishes. Great color and rose pattern. Chairs are sturdy and comfortable. Assembles in under an hour. Chair and table legs have levelers to help balance everything out.

Cons

Set is a little on the small side. Instructions could use a picture or two for clarity. A few assembly problems with the screws (don't overturn them) and the holes they go in (some lacking threads).

Bottom Line

A well-made, durable set that takes it to the next level with its rocking-motion chairs.

Pros

Cushions resistant to water, stains, mildew, and UV. Assembles in about 15 minutes. Constructed of sturdy, quality materials. Chairs have a subtle rocking motion.

Cons

Chairs are very deep, so you may wish to add back cushions for comfort and support. Reports of some minor quality issues that include paint missing from spots, defective screws, and sharp burrs on parts.

3 Piece Bistro Set

Bottom Line

This bistro set looks great on a small porch or deck, although it's going to really be too small for some to comfortably use.

Pros

Comes in a variety of designs, including tulip, rose, and leaf. Has a good weight, so you can move them around easily but the wind can't. Straightforward assembly, in about half an hour.

Cons

Set is pretty small, and definitely a comfort stretch for large or tall people. Some issues with it arriving with damaged or missing pieces.

Bottom Line

Although the chair design may put off some, features such as the look, price, and the fact that it folds up make this set popular.

Pros

No assembly required. Comes in a variety of colors, from blue to macaron orange. Great price. Durable and sturdy. Folds up for easy storage or portability. Heavier than they look. Bright, airy look.

Cons

Some buyers report that these show up with missing parts or with scrapes or nicks. Backs of chairs don't offer a lot of support or comfort.
