The 3 piece bistro set originates from Paris. In the city where people had rented flats, they would open their kitchens to the public to help them earn their rent money. With limited space indoors and outdoors, they began using a much taller table so chairs weren’t necessarily needed. Several patrons could stand around the tables. This allowed for many more patrons which boosted business. They placed their bistro tables of weather resistant materials on the sidewalk in front of their homes to accommodate even more patrons. This allowed them to at least double their seating capacity.
