Fire pit tables need a 20 lb propane cylinder somewhere. If the pit is not built to take it, the tank ends up on the deck in plain sight with a hose running across the floor to it.

One of the seven pieces is a 16 in square cabinet, 22 in high, built to swallow a 20 lb cylinder. Close the door and it is a side table in the same weave as the sofas. The cylinder itself is not included.

Seven pieces, counted out

Studio shot with everything in view. Two corner sofas pushed together as a loveseat, two armless sofas standing apart, a low glass topped coffee table on the left, the tall tank cover table on the right, and the fire pit table lit in the middle. Black cushions throughout.

What it looks like lit

Dusk on stone paving with festoon lights above. The seating opens out into a wide U with the fire pit table at the centre and the tank cabinet at the end of the run holding drinks. At 16 in high the flame sits level with the seat cushions rather than above them.

The cabinet that hides the cylinder

Two pictures of the same piece. On top it is a 22 in side table with room for a tray and glasses. Open the front and a 20 lb propane cylinder stands inside it. The manufacturer states the cylinder is not included, so plan on collecting one.

Numbers before you clear the deck

Every piece drawn with its measurements. The fire pit table is 32 in by 20 in by 16 in and carries a 256 lb badge, the corner sofas are 29 in square and rated 360 lb, the coffee table 26 in square and 13 in high at 110 lb, and the tank cabinet 16 in square by 22 in.

The 32 in table stands 16 in high, the same as a coffee table. The flame sits where a tray would, right in the middle of the group.

A 16 in square cabinet swallows a 20 lb propane cylinder and gives you a 22 in high side table on top of it.

Two corner sofas and two armless sofas. Push them together as a loveseat with two chairs, or open them out into a wide U.

The corner sofas carry a 360 lb badge, the fire pit table 256 lb and the coffee table 110 lb, all printed on the maker's drawing.

Seat cushions are 4 in thick with removable washable covers, which is what keeps a light coloured set usable past July.

Two tones woven together rather than one flat colour, so scuffs and dust do not stand out the way they do on a solid weave.

A separate 26 in square glass topped table comes with the set, so the fire pit is not the only surface in the group.

Nothing has to stand beside the group. The propane cylinder lives in the 16 in cabinet, which is also where drinks go.

Forty thousand BTU is enough to hold a group outside in May and September, when the furniture alone would not.

Two corner sofas and two armless sofas seat four comfortably with the fire at the centre and two surfaces in reach.

What we stand behind

• The 256 lb, 360 lb and 110 lb load ratings and every dimension come off the manufacturer's own Product Dimensions image.
• The fire pit is listed as ETL certified by the manufacturer. We repeat their certification rather than testing it.
• A 20 lb propane cylinder is required and is not included. The tank cover table is sized for it.
• The manufacturer's own key features ask you to avoid prolonged rain exposure. That is their guidance and we pass it on rather than bury it.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

Where does the propane tank go?

Into the tank cover table, a 16 in square cabinet 22 in high that comes with the set. It is sized for a 20 lb cylinder, which is not included. The top of the cabinet works as a side table, so the tank is not taking up deck space for nothing.

How tall is the fire pit table?

Sixteen inches, which is coffee table height rather than dining height. That puts the flame level with the seat of the sofas around it, and it is why the manufacturer describes the table as usable as an extra coffee table year round.

Can it be left out in the rain?

The manufacturer's own key features ask you to avoid prolonged rain exposure to extend service life, and we would rather tell you that than hide it. PE rattan itself does not soak up water the way natural cane does, but cushion foam holds damp for days once it is through. A cover, or bringing the cushions in, is the sensible routine.

How much space does the set need?

Corner sofas are 29 in square, armless sofas 26 in by 29 in, the fire pit table 32 in by 20 in and the coffee table 26 in square. Laid out as an open U that is roughly 9 ft by 8 ft. Layout guidance puts seating 18 to 24 in from a fire feature, so allow about 11 ft by 10 ft with walking room.
