Buy a fire pit table on its own and every drink ends up on the ground. Buy a conversation set on its own and there is no heat in it. Most people end up with both, bought separately, in colours that do not match.

Four seating pieces, a 26 in glass coffee table, a tank cabinet that works as a side table, and the 32 in fire pit table itself. All in the same hand woven mix brown rattan, so nothing looks bolted on.

Seven pieces, no extras

Everything in the order photographed together. Two corner sofas joined at the back, two armless sofas standing apart, a glass topped coffee table, the tank cover cabinet and the lit fire pit table. Red cushions on every seat and back.

How the pieces relate

A three quarter view that shows the height differences. The sofa backs sit at 25 in, the tank cabinet at 22 in, and the fire pit table and coffee table both come in low at 16 in and 13 in. Nothing in the group blocks a sight line across the fire.

Two jobs for one cabinet

On top, a 22 in high surface that takes a tray, glasses and bottles. Inside, standing room for a 20 lb propane cylinder with the door closed over it. The cylinder is not supplied. It is the same weave as the sofas, so it reads as furniture rather than as a fuel store.

What is under the flame

The burner is stainless steel, set into a channel in a ceramic top. A single knob lights it and takes the flame from low to high. The maker rates it at 40,000 BTU and lists it as ETL certified. The table is 32 in long and carries a 256 lb load badge.

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 stainless steel burner under a ceramic top, lit by a simple ignition and turned from low to high on one knob.

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.

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.

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

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 Canadian or United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

Will the red fade?

No fade rating is published for this fabric, so we will not claim one. Strong dyes generally show sun before pale ones do. The covers are removable and washable, so the practical answer is to store them out of the sun when the set is not in use rather than leaving them out from May to September.

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.

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 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.
