Well, what do you know? We were browsing the garden furniture section of the Argos website this week, marveling at some of the rather stylish buys you can get there (for a fraction of a price of elsewhere, obvs), when we came across this wooden bench to bistro set. And it's a godsend for small space dwellers. So, whether you've got a tiny patio, a compact balcony or you need a very, very clever dining space-saving solution indoors (it might be designed for gardens, but it'll totally work indoors), don't look away.
Is it a bench? Is it a bistro set? It’s both! The bench (see below) of this functional set folds flush against the wall when it's not being used, and in a few simple steps, can be transformed into a bistro set (see above) – ideal if you only have a small space to work with but still want to option eat al fresco.
The table measures H80cm x W40cm x L80cm, so there’s plenty of room for two to dine comfortably. Made from Acacia wood, the wooden bench to bistro set costs £80 at Argos. Clever.
