A nine piece set fills a garage. Most people give up, leave it out under snow and buy new cushions in the spring. The frames survive, the fabric does not.

The armless sofas slide into the corner sofas, the tempered glass top lays over them, and the coffee table and ottomans stack upside down on that. Cushions go inside the 33.5 in storage box that is already part of the set.

The full nine

Two corner sofas, two armless sofas, a storage box, a tempered glass coffee table, two ottomans and the square propane fire pit table. Cream cushions on every seat. This is the whole order in one frame, with nothing added for the photograph.

Tight layout on a small patio

Here the pieces are pulled in close, the sofas forming a tighter corner with the fire pit table right against them. That is the layout for a compact paved area. The low coffee table sits out front and the ottomans double as extra seats when someone else arrives.

Fuel, cover and care

The manufacturer's own panel on the fire pit. A tank stands inside the rattan wrapped body, the valve is matched to a 20 lb cylinder which they state is not included, and their advice is to keep the lava rock covered and dry so it does not crackle when lit.

Six steps in October

The end of season sequence. Cushions into the ottomans and the storage box, the two armless sofas into the two corner sofas, the tempered glass top laid across them, coffee table and ottomans upside down on top, cover over the stack. Nine pieces become one block.

A square burner puts heat out on four sides rather than along one line, which suits seating arranged in an L around it.

A 20 lb propane tank stands in the table body, held by a 9 in secure ring. A door with a handle and a magnetic catch gets you to it.

The tabletop around the burner is tempered glass on a powder coated steel frame, so drinks and plates have somewhere flat to go.

Two corner sofas and two armless sofas. Build an L, a straight bench run or two facing rows, and change your mind next weekend.

Corner sofas, armless sofas and both ottomans are each marked 350 lb on the manufacturer's drawing. The coffee table is marked 165 lb.

A 33.5 in by 29.5 in by 26 in box takes the cushions when the season ends and works as a side table while it lasts.

Seat pads are 4 in thick and back cushions 7 in. Every cover comes off with a zip, and rope buckles hold the ottoman pads down.

Powder coating is what keeps steel from rusting outdoors, and it works while it stays intact. A chipped edge is worth touching up early.

Four seating pieces plus two ottomans put six or seven people around one fire with a glass surface within reach of each.

Fifty thousand BTU from a square burner is what keeps people in their seats when the air turns in September.

Two corners and two middles go into an L, a straight run or two facing benches. The deck decides, not the factory.

What we stand behind

• Every dimension is quoted from the record's own specification list and checked against the measured drawing.
• The 350 lb seat and 165 lb coffee table ratings are printed on the manufacturer's dimension image.
• The fire pit needs a 20 lb propane tank, which the manufacturer states is not included. We say so rather than leave you to find out on delivery day.
• No wind rating, no fuel burn rate and no UV figure are published, so none is claimed here.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

Will cream cushions survive a summer?

No fade or stain rating is published, so we make no promise. What is published is that every cover is detachable, zipped and washable, which is the only sensible way to own pale outdoor fabric. Barbecue smoke and sunscreen are the usual culprits, and both come out of a cover you can take off.

What propane tank does it take?

A standard 20 lb tank, and it is not included. The manufacturer specifies that size because the excess flow valve is matched to it. The tank stands upright inside the table body, held by a 9 in secure ring, and a door with a magnetic catch gets you to it for changes.

Can it stay out over a Canadian winter?

The frames cope better than the soft parts. Canadian patio guidance puts PE rattan over metal in the leave-it-out group, with a cover to keep it looking new. The cushions are the weak point: get them dry and into the storage box. The manufacturer's own storage sequence nests the four sofas together and stacks the rest on top.

How much room does it take?

Corner sofas are 29.5 in square, armless sofas 28 in by 27 in, and the fire pit table 32 in square. Laid out as an L that is roughly 10 ft by 8 ft of furniture. Layout guidance suggests 18 to 24 in between seating and a fire feature and about 3 ft of walking room behind, so plan for a good 13 ft by 12 ft.
