Nine pieces could be nine seats, or six seats and three tables, or almost anything. Without a breakdown you cannot tell whether a set seats your family or simply fills your patio.

The maker lists it out: two corner sofas, two armless sofas, two storage ottomans, a storage box, a coffee table and the fire table. Six places to sit, three places to put things, and one source of heat.

Counting the nine

Two corner sofas and two armless middles make six seats with the two ottomans. The storage box closes one end, the coffee table runs down the side and the fire table sits in the middle. Nothing is fixed to anything, so the shape can change whenever the deck needs it to.

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.

What is inside the fire table

A door in the base opens onto a cabinet for a standard 20 lb propane tank, which is bought separately. Underneath are adjustable non slip foot pads, and the top is ceramic with a marble pattern.

The cushions

Thick sponge under covers that unzip and wash. Rope buckles hold the ottoman cushions in place, which matters on a piece whose lid gets lifted every time something goes away. Every cover comes off separately for washing at the end of the season.

What exactly are the nine pieces?

Two corner sofas, two armless sofas, two storage ottomans, one storage box, one coffee table and one fire pit table. Six seats, three storage pieces and the fire table.

Is a propane tank included?

No. It takes a standard 20 lb tank, bought separately, which sits inside the fire table behind a door in the base.

Can it be used as an ordinary table in summer?

Yes. The lid is removable, so with it on the fire table is a flat 35 in square surface at 24.5 in high.

How much storage is there really?

A 33.5 in by 29.5 in by 26 in box plus two 17.5 in ottomans. That takes the set's own cushions, which is the test worth applying to outdoor storage.
