A tall fire table beside low outdoor sofas warms your shoulders and leaves your legs cold. It also blocks the view across the group, so the people opposite you are behind a wall of flame.

This 32 in fire pit table stands 16 in high, level with the seat cushions on the sofas around it. Nobody is looking over it and the heat lands where you feel the cold. With the fire out it is simply another low table.

All seven together

Two corner sofas making a loveseat, two armless sofas, a low glass coffee table, the tank cover cabinet and the fire pit table with the flame up. Turquoise cushions on every piece of seating over a mix brown weave.

At the edge of the pool

On a rug at the edge of a pool. The pieces are pulled in tight so everyone is within reach of the fire, and the coffee table sits between two of the armless sofas. Turquoise against blue water is the whole reason this colourway exists.

What the weave is

A close look at the rattan itself. Two brown tones hand woven together, which the maker lists as sun protective. PE rattan does not take up water the way natural cane does, and it does not go brittle in a freeze, which is why it is the standard choice for Canadian patios.

How the fire is controlled

One knob takes the flame from low to high, over a stainless steel burner set into a ceramic top. The maker rates the output at 40,000 BTU and lists it as ETL certified. The whole table is 32 in long, 20 in deep and 16 in high.

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.

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

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

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.

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 sit beside a pool?

Nothing in the record rates the set for chlorine exposure, so we make no claim about that. What is published is a hand woven PE rattan weave, which does not absorb water the way natural cane does. Rinsing splash off with fresh water and keeping the cushions out of standing water is sensible on any set near a pool.

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.
