Big wicker sets get bought in May and then stay out all winter because nothing about them packs down. Cushions go into the basement, the frames sit under snow, and by the third spring the covers have gone green.

The armless sofas slide into the corner sofas, the glass top lays over them and the coffee table and ottomans stack on top. That leaves a footprint of 93 in by 29.5 in by 26 in, and two waterproof covers come in the box to go over it.

Counting the nine

Studio shot with every piece visible. Two corner sofas and two armless sofas make the L, a storage box with a glass top sits in the corner, the low coffee table is off to the left, and two ottomans stand loose. The fire pit table is lit in the middle. Nine pieces, no substitutions.

What it is actually for

Night shot with the burner running. A 60,000 BTU flame across a 23 in burner channel throws real heat, which is the difference between sitting outside in late September and going in at eight. The glow picks out the ceramic tile top and the black cushions stay dark rather than glaring back.

Getting the flame going

The manufacturer's own four steps. Screw the regulator onto the tank, stand the tank inside the table body so it is out of sight, spread lava rock over the burner, then turn the knob and press the igniter. The door on the side is how you get at the tank afterwards.

Six steps to put it away

This is the sequence for October. Cushions go into the ottomans and the storage box, the armless sofas slide into the corner sofas, the tempered glass top lays across them, then the coffee table and the ottomans go upside down on top. One of the two covers goes over the finished stack.

One control knob and a built in igniter. The manufacturer lists the burner as ETL and CSA approved, and the tank hides inside the table body.

A ceramic tile lid with a ring pull drops over the 23 in burner channel, turning the 42 in fire pit into a flat coffee table.

Two corner sofas and two armless sofas. Rearrange them into an L, a straight run or two facing benches as the evening needs.

A 29.5 in by 33.5 in box that takes cushions inside and drinks on the tempered glass lid. It is the side table and the cushion store at once.

Rope buckles button the 4 in cushions down so they do not slide off when someone puts their feet up.

Two waterproof covers are in the box. Most sets this size leave you to source those yourself in October.

Every cover comes off with a zip and goes in the wash. Seat pads are 4 in thick and the back cushions 7 in.

Each foot turns slightly to level the piece and sits on an anti slip mat, which matters on old flagstone or a sloped deck.

A 60,000 BTU burner is what keeps a Canadian patio in use through May and again in late September.

The nine pieces nest into a 93 in run, cushions go inside the storage box, and the two covers go over the top.

Four seating pieces and two ottomans put six or more people around one fire without anyone perching on a step.

What we stand behind

• Every dimension here is read from the product's own measured drawing, not estimated.
• The fire pit is listed as ETL and CSA approved by the manufacturer. We repeat their certification, we do not test it.
• Two waterproof covers are part of the set, so winter storage does not need a separate purchase.
• No propane tank, no lava rock quantity and no fuel consumption rate are published in the record, so none is claimed.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

How does the propane connect?

The manufacturer's setup panel shows four steps: attach the regulator to the tank, stand the tank inside the fire pit table body, add lava rock over the burner, then turn the knob and press the igniter. The tank is hidden inside the table rather than sitting beside it. No tank is listed as included, so plan on supplying your own.

Can the fire pit table be used as a normal table?

Yes. A ceramic tile lid with a ring pull drops over the burner channel and gives you a flat 42 in surface. That is how the set works as an ordinary conversation group in July and as a fire circle in October.

What happens to it over winter?

This set is built to be put away. The manufacturer's own storage sequence has the cushions going into the ottomans and the storage box, the two armless sofas sliding into the corner sofas, the glass top laid across them, the coffee table and ottomans stacked upside down on top, and one of the two waterproof covers over the lot. That leaves a 93 in by 29.5 in by 26 in block.

How much patio does it need?

Set out as an L, the seating runs roughly 29.5 in deep on each arm with the fire pit table 42 in long in front of it. Layout guides suggest about 24 in between a sofa and the table in front of it and 18 to 24 in between seating and a fire feature, so allow a good 12 ft by 12 ft to lay it out comfortably.
