Whether your patio is small or large, balancing table space
with standing or walking space can be a challenge. Instead of plopping a large
four or six seat patio table and chairs set in the middle of your patio, you
can strategically place three or four small bar sets to achieve the same or
greater number of seating while adding invaluable walking lanes to your outdoor
space.
Outdoor gatherings usually lend themselves to having a
number of guests seated while a number of people prefer to walk and mingle. Bar
sets allow for this dichotomy more naturally by allowing for greater walking
space and also by seating people higher than standard patio sets.
