A fire pit set gets used on cool evenings, which are exactly the evenings when rain turns up. Carrying eight cushions indoors in a hurry is the part of owning outdoor furniture nobody enjoys.

The 26 in storage box that joins the two loveseats takes the cushions a step from where they sit. The lid is held on a buffered hydraulic rod and the base is lined with a removable cloth. For a whole Canadian winter the cushions are still better indoors and fully dry.

Inside the corner box

A removable base cloth, a buffered hydraulic rod and a strong metal hinge, all called out by the maker. It is a 26 in cube and the lid opens to 49 in high, so you can load it standing up rather than kneeling. With the lid shut it is a side table at the same height as the loveseat backs.

What sits where

Two 47.5 in corner loveseats meet at the box. The fire table is 32 in by 20 in, the glass coffee table 21.5 in square and the tank table 16 in by 16 in. Seats are 13 in off the ground under 4 in cushions, so the 16 in fire table sits just below them. Loveseats in an L around the fire table keep four people within the 6 to 8 ft seat to seat that layout guides give for easy talk.

The fire table

40,000 BTU on propane in a 15 in by 7.5 in burner area. The lid turns it into a coffee table for the rest of the summer. The tank sits out of sight in the wicker table at the end of the run, sized for a standard 20 lb cylinder.

Navy on brown

Navy against the mix brown weave is the quiet pairing in this range, and it hides the fine ash a fire table leaves better than pale cushions do.

Found it cheaper at a Canadian retailer? Send us the link and we will match that price. It has to be the same item, in stock, sold and shipped inside Canada, and compared like for like on what comes in the box.

Cushions go in the box when the evening is done, not across the garden to the shed.

The corner box is the deck box, already part of the set.

The maker pictures toys going in the box too, which keeps a patio clear between uses.

Will all the cushions fit in the box?

No volume is published. The box is a 26 in cube, and the maker shows cushions and blankets going in.

Does the lid slam?

It is held on a buffered hydraulic rod, which the maker says is there to lower it gently.

Can the box sit somewhere else?

Yes. It is a separate piece, so it can go at either end or off to the side as a side table.

Where should cushions go over winter?

Indoors and fully dry, stored off a concrete floor. The box is for rain showers, not a whole Canadian winter.
