A fire pit gives you an open tray of rock you cannot put anything on. On a small patio that is the best spot on the deck taken up by something nobody uses between October and May.

The metal lid covers the whole burner and turns the firepit into a flat 42 in by 20 in table. The maker describes the top as fireproof and scratch resistant, so it takes drinks and plates rather than only looking the part.

Five pieces on the deck

Two corner sofas, one armless chair, one ottoman and the firepit table. The corner sofas push together as a loveseat, the armless chair sits opposite and the ottoman goes wherever the legs are.

Every measurement

Corner sofas 29 in square and 25 in tall, armless chair 25 in by 29 in, ottoman 25 in square at 16.5 in. The firepit table is 42 in by 20 in by 25 in with a 32.5 in burner tray. Each seating piece and the ottoman carry a 396 lb rating.

What is inside the table

A stainless steel burner, an excess flow valve, adjustable foot pads and lava rock included in the box. The excess flow valve is the safety part, and the lava rock is the thing most fire tables make you buy separately.

How it reads at night

The table is 25 in high, the same as the sofa backs, so the flame sits level with the seating rather than down at ankle height. That is what makes a fire table a centrepiece instead of a heater on the floor.

In the box, rather than a separate purchase before the table can be used.

Every cushion cover comes off for cleaning.

Five loose pieces, so the group can be closed up or spread out.

A lid that goes on means the centre piece is a table in July and a fire in October.

Five pieces rather than nine, with one of them doing the job of both a fire pit and a coffee table.

Black cushions on brown rattan hide most of what a summer throws at them, and the covers unzip.

What we stand behind

• Sizes and the 396 lb rating are read off the manufacturer's own specification panel.
• Lava rock is included and the 20 lb propane tank is not. Both are the maker's own statements.
• Fireproof and scratch resistant are the maker's words for the metal tabletop, quoted as theirs.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Do I need to buy lava rock?

No. The maker lists lava rock as included with the firepit table. Only the propane tank has to be bought separately.

Can the table be used without the fire?

Yes. The metal lid covers the burner completely and gives a flat 42 in by 20 in surface at 25 in high.

What is an excess flow valve?

A safety fitting in the gas line that cuts the flow if it suddenly rises, for example if a hose is damaged. The maker lists it as part of the burner assembly.

How many people does the set seat?

Three on the seating pieces, four with the ottoman. Two corner sofas push together into a loveseat with the armless chair opposite.
