I bought a bistro set at Smith's Grocery last summer. Two chairs, they fold up , and a small bistro table (also folds up) that's large enough for 2 to eat from. Think I paid $89 for the set. It's been sitting out all year, in full sunlight, summer and winter (with snow), uncovered. And our sun here is BRUTAL, many things fade in less than a year if not treated correctly. This set has held up great! No rusting, no fading that I can see, and still very sturdy. I noticed some of the Smith's have some this year too, just started putting them out last week. I bought turquoise, last year they had turquoise, purple and another color, forget what it was though. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a low price but good quality set.  |

I also have 2 sling back chairs in hot pink mesh with gray metal arms, they've been sitting outside now almost 2 years. Slight fading on the mesh seating (that's the pink part), none that I can see on the metal, but still very bright, cheery and usable. Those came from Target summer before last. Holding up very well.

For the price, I fully expected the sling chairs and the table set to fade really fast, but they haven't. I'm surprised and impressed.
If you have Smith's up there, check it out and see if they're getting the bistro set.

I love the color.
I don't need another table set but I think I will steal the idea and paint the big metal table I have under the gazebo turquoise. It's just that boring white color and really needs some zip to brighten it up.

Love that color. I bet the purple ones were pretty too.
Thank goodness we have no Smiths here to tempt me.

Smith's is owned by Krogers. If you have Krogers or Frye's (also owned by Kroger), check them out.
Colors fade unbelievably fast in this climate, so I'm amazed at how well this set is holding up.
