Orange is the new black, right? This stylish set includes two steel folding chairs and a steel folding table. According to the reviews, it’s surprisingly sturdy and comfortable.

3. Walmart, $129

Floral motifs needn’t be evocative of your grandma’s outdated living room curtains. This yellow bistro set is bold and sculptural without being over the top.

With architectural details and a lime green finish, this bistro set will certainly pop against an urban landscape.

Not quite blue or green, the color seafoam is decidedly different. When not in use, this ultra-affordable set can be folded up and stored away.

6. Wayfair, $174.99

Okay, so technically black is the absence of color — but if you’re looking for a dining set that won’t detract from the rest of your outdoor decor, it’s definitely the way to go. This black three-piece with an antique gold finish has an industrial feel that will stand the test of time.
