A nine piece set is a serious amount of furniture. Left out it collects snow and grit, and taken in it swallows a garage bay that was meant for a car.

The maker prints six steps: cushions into the ottomans and the box, armless sofas into the corners, glass top on, coffee table inverted, ottomans on top, cover over. The finished stack is 93 in by 29.5 in by 26 in.

Nine pieces in use

Two corner sofas, two armless middles, two storage ottomans, a storage box, a long coffee table and the fire table. Three of those nine are places to put things away, which is unusual in a set this size.

The six steps

Cushions into the ottomans and the storage box, the two armless sofas slotted into the corner sofas, the tempered glass top laid on, the coffee table inverted on that, the ottomans on top, and the waterproof cover over the lot.

Every measurement

Fire table 35 in square and 24.5 in high. Corner sofas 29.5 in square, armless middles 28 in by 27 in, ottomans 17.5 in square by 16 in, storage box 33.5 in by 29.5 in by 26 in, coffee table 39.5 in by 20 in.

The fire table's own details

A door in the base for a standard 20 lb propane tank, adjustable non slip foot pads underneath and a marble patterned ceramic top. The tank is bought separately and lives inside the table rather than beside it, so there is no cylinder and hose on the deck.

A 33.5 in box and two 17.5 in ottomans, all with lift off lids.

The whole set packs to 93 in by 29.5 in by 26 in following the maker's six steps.

35 in square, ETL and CSA approved, with a high or low flame.

A waterproof cover for the stacked seating and a protective cover for the fire table.

A door in the table base takes a standard 20 lb propane tank, not included.

Two corner sofas and two armless middles, plus the ottomans as perches.

Covers the burner so the table works as a surface in summer.

Zips on every cushion cover, with rope buckles on the ottoman cushions.

93 in by 29.5 in is about eight feet of wall, not a parking space, which is the difference between storing the set and selling it.

Six seats around a square 50,000 BTU table keeps people outside into the autumn.

Three of the nine pieces are storage, which removes the usual hunt for somewhere to put cushions when the forecast turns.

How small does the set pack down?

93 in by 29.5 in by 26 in, following the maker's six step sequence. That is roughly eight feet along a wall rather than a whole garage bay.

How many covers come with it?

Two: a waterproof cover for the stacked seating and a separate protective cover for the fire pit table.

Where does the propane tank sit?

Inside the fire table, behind a door in the base. It takes a standard 20 lb tank, which is bought separately.

Can the fire table be used as a table?

Yes. The lid is removable, so putting it back over the burner gives a flat 35 in square surface for the summer.
