7 Of IKEA's Best Small Patio Tables And Chairs For Your Outdoor Space

If you have an outdoor space, you know having a table and chairs is essential, since these spaces are best suited to reading, sipping coffee, or playing games. Even if your outdoor area is very small, you can still find petite table-and-chair sets and design the perfect patio or balcony for dining or relaxing. And, just because you have limited room, it doesn't mean you want to compromise on style.

We looked through home retail supergiant IKEA's website to see what they have to offer for small outdoor tables and chairs. Although there are pros and cons to buying home decor from IKEA, we found that they offer a number of options in a variety of styles, materials, and price points. We rounded up several of the top picks that don't just look great in pictures, but have outstanding ratings from real-life customers to back them up, found on the IKEA website. Along with why we chose these tables and chairs, we made sure to include what customers loved about them, too. 

The ASKHOLMEN is a half-table that can be pushed against a wall or railing. This is the perfect set-up for anyone with a petite outdoor space and can easily hold a plate of breakfast, a cup of coffee, or a laptop computer, making this an ideal upgrade for your small balcony. While you won't be hosting any multi-course dinners on this table, a reviewer assures us that, "The set looks great, doesn't take up too much room, and is super sturdy...and there's plenty of room for two people to eat." 

The ASKHOLMEN half table is available at IKEA for $29.00. You can also opt for a matching table set with two chairs for $119.00. 

If you're looking for a pop of color and a stable, rust-resistant table at a great price, then you can't go wrong with the SUNDSÖ tables. Available in sunshiny yellow, hot red-orange, or gray, these small tables work beautifully with many color schemes and aesthetics. They can be left out permanently, or easily folded up and stowed away. Customers appreciate the value for the cost, with one reviewer saying, "I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality for the price. Thank you IKEA for exceeding my expectations. Quite a rarity these days." 

Purchase a SUNDSÖ table from IKEA for $49.00. For a set including two chairs, IKEA asks $119.00.

Just because your space may require small furniture, it doesn't mean you can't create a functional, beautiful dining space with the NÄMMARÖ patio table. The wood-slatted table is petite, but if you use clever seating options such as benches, it can easily sit six people for a cozy al fresco meal. The matching foldable chairs, which can be easily folded away, also work well around this table. Reviews say customers are impressed with the look and sturdiness of the chairs.

The NÄMMARÖ table and four dining chairs can be purchased as a set for $319.00 from IKEA. 

For the timeless French bistro look, try IKEA's stackable LÄCKÖ chairs and bistro table. These would look as beautiful outside of a Parisian café as on your patio. The slim profile is also appealing for compact outdoor spaces. Customers say they perform well against the elements and can easily be wiped down after rain or snow, and some say that the chairs are so comfortable on their own, they don't even need cushions (although IKEA does sell cushions for these chairs separately). 

Purchase IKEA's LÄCKÖ chairs from IKEA for $50.00 each, and the accompanying bistro table is $69.00. 

Small furniture can still give you plenty of room to lay out, as seen in the NÄMMARÖ reclining chair. Unlike a regular outdoor chaise lounge, this clever chair returns to a regular position, so it's not just a space-saver, but a multifunctional seat. Customers rave about how comfortable and solidly built this piece is. One says, "Easy to assemble, good looking and very comfortable. Will look great in our outdoor sitting area." 

The NÄMMARÖ chair can be purchased from IKEA for $70.00, and cushions can be purchased separately. 

Made from solid eucalyptus wood, these stunning BONDHOLMEN diamond-backed chairs and table would look gorgeous in a Sonoma vineyard as well as your backyard patio for an organic, timeless look. Plus, round tables are excellent for small spaces, providing a lot of surface space without eating away at too much square footage. Reviewers also note that this set is very sturdy, solid, easy to assemble, and looks high-end. 

IKEA's BONDHOLMEN table and 4-piece chair set can be purchased for $749.00 to $889.00, depending on whether or not you order seat cushions. 

One of the simplest yet most classic sets has to be the TÄRNÖ bistro table and chairs. These have a very slim profile, so they work as functional furniture pieces without adding visual bulk to the outdoor space. The spindly, thin legs and narrow planks allow sunshine to come through them, which is ideal if you don't want to block out any natural light on your balcony and patio. We especially like the chairs when paired with a classic overstuffed cushion, which can be included with the set.
