The frame outlives the fabric on almost every patio set. Sunscreen, pollen, wine and rain get into a cover that was never meant to come off, and by the second summer the seating looks tired even though nothing is broken.

All the seat and back cushions on this set have zipped covers that unzip and go in the wash, and the fire table has its own waterproof PVC cover in the box. The two parts most likely to spoil are the two parts you can actually take care of.

Five places round the fire

Three corner units at 29.5 in square and two armless units at 25.5 in across, all 25 in high with the seat 16.5 in from the ground. The cushions are 4 in thick, which is what keeps a wicker base from being felt through the fabric on a long evening.

Zips on every cushion

The manufacturer calls it a removable and washable cover, and shows the zip running along the edge rather than hidden underneath. Thick sponge padding is their description of what is inside. In practice the useful part is that a cover can be washed at the end of a season and put back.

Feeding the burner

A 20 lb standard propane tank stands inside the base behind a hinged wicker panel, so nothing sits out on the paving. The manufacturer's sequence is three steps. Attach the flow valve, lay the lava rocks in without burying the stainless steel, then turn the knob and press ignite.

What the frames are made of

Weather resistant PE rattan woven over an anti rust steel frame, standing on aluminium foot pads. Feet are usually the first thing to go on a patio set because they stand in every puddle, so aluminium there is worth more than it looks.

Every seat and back cushion cover unzips and goes in the wash rather than being sponged in place.

A waterproof cover for the fire table comes with the order rather than as an add on.

Published output on an ETL certified gas fire pit, with lava rocks supplied.

Covers the 19.5 in burner opening so the fire table works as a coffee table.

A hinged side panel opening 24.5 in, sized for a 20 lb tank that is not included.

25.5 in square and 4 in thick, on seats 16.5 in from the ground.

25.5 in square at 13 in high, with a glass top that wipes down in seconds.

At the corners of every module, where a steel foot would take the worst of the standing water.

Covers that lift off at the end of the season are worth more than any claim about fabric on a spot with no shade.

A zip along the edge of every cushion is the reason a spill is a wash rather than a replacement.

Cushions come inside, the PVC cover goes over the fire table, and the wicker frames stay where they are.

Turquoise against brown wicker, on covers you can actually keep looking the way they arrived.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement above, the 50000 BTU output and the ETL certification come from the product's own dimension drawing and specification block, which agree with each other on this listing.
• Fade resistant and sun protective are the manufacturer's words. No UV rating, fabric weight or fade warranty is published, so none is quoted.
• The manufacturer states the set ships in four boxes and that they may not all arrive on the same day.
• Two manufacturer panels render the cushions off white rather than turquoise. They appear to be shared artwork used across all four colourways.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

Can the cushion covers go in a washing machine?

The manufacturer says to unzip them for easy maintenance and calls them washable, but publishes no wash temperature or cycle. Treat them as you would any outdoor polyester cover and wash cool.

Does a cover for the seating come too?

No. The PVC cover included in this order is for the fire pit table. The seat cushions are meant to come indoors, and covers for the wicker frames would be a separate purchase.

Is the propane tank included?

No. The hinged side panel is sized for a standard 20 lb cylinder, the same one a gas barbecue uses. The lava rocks do come in the box.

Will everything arrive together?

Not necessarily. The manufacturer ships this set in four boxes and says you may not get them all at the same time, so leave the assembly until the last one lands.
