Outdoor cushions have to go somewhere when it rains. Most people carry them into a hall, or buy a deck box that takes up another three feet of patio for eleven months a year.

The 20 in coffee table opens on an acacia lid with a gas strut behind it, over 13.5 gallons of space measuring 18 in by 18 in by 10 in. Cushions go in, the lid comes down, and the table is still a table.

The set with the box open

The set photographed with the coffee table lid raised so you can see what it is. A 50 in loveseat, two armchairs and a 20 in square box with an acacia top. Cream cushions throughout, wood legs under every piece.

The same piece, two jobs

Open, it is a 13.5 gallon box with room for cushions or a throw and a gas strut holding the lid up. Closed, it is a solid acacia topped coffee table. That is the whole argument for the set.

Numbers before you clear the deck

Loveseat 50 in wide and 25.5 in deep, armchairs 29 in wide, coffee table 20 in square by 16 in high with an 18 in by 18 in by 10 in interior. Seats sit 12 in from the ground. Capacities run 800 lb, 400 lb, 165 lb and 55 lb inside the box.

A 13.5 gallon space under the acacia top, 18 in square and 10 in deep. Cushions, a throw or the barbecue tools live in it.

The acacia top lifts on a metal hinge with a strut behind it, so it holds itself open instead of needing a hand or a stick.

Printed capacities of 800 lb for the loveseat, 400 lb per armchair, 165 lb on the tabletop and 55 lb inside it.

Seats are 3.5 in of elastic sponge and the backs are 6 in. That is deep padding for an outdoor set at this size.

Solid wood legs finish in adjustable footpads, so a piece can be levelled on old flagstone or a sloping deck.

A 12 in seat height is lounge height, not dining height. You settle back into this set rather than perch on it.

The coffee table is a 13.5 gallon box. Cushions go inside it at the end of the evening rather than into the house.

A 12 in seat with 3.5 in of padding and a 6 in back cushion. This is lounge seating, not a dining chair with a pad on it.

Every wooden leg finishes in an adjustable footpad, so a rocking chair on uneven flagstone can be levelled out.

What we stand behind

• All four weight capacities, the 13.5 gallon storage volume and every dimension come from the manufacturer's own Product Dimensions image.
• The tabletop lifts on a metal hinge with a gas strut, so it stays up rather than dropping on your hand. That is a published feature.
• The set ships in two boxes which may not arrive on the same day. The manufacturer states this and so do we.
• No UV rating and no foam density are published, so neither is claimed.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

How much fits inside the table?

Thirteen and a half gallons, in a space 18 in square and 10 in deep, rated to 55 lb. That takes the cushions off this set, a folded throw and a couple of cushions from elsewhere. The top itself is rated 165 lb.

Does the lid stay open?

Yes. It is hinged on a metal hinge with a gas strut behind it, so the acacia top holds itself up while you load the box. That is the difference between a usable storage table and one that catches your fingers.

Will cream cushions survive a summer?

No stain rating is published, so we make no promise. The covers are zipped and removable, which is what makes a pale outdoor cushion practical. Sunscreen and barbecue smoke are the usual marks and both wash out of a cover you can take off.

Can it be left outside over a Canadian winter?

The weave and the frame will take it. 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 part that suffers, so bring them in dry. Damp foam in a shed over winter is what grows mildew.
