Plenty of wicker sectionals finish the arm as a narrow rolled edge. It looks neat and it gives you nothing to lean on, so after twenty minutes people end up sitting square in the middle of the seat.

The maker calls out the wide armrest as the first of three features on this set, with room for your arms rather than a decorative edge. On a corner piece that is where a drink or a book ends up, so it earns its place.

Six seats and a table

Two corner sofas and four armless middles around a 29 in glass topped table. Cream against black wicker is the strongest contrast here, and it makes the woven pattern read clearly from across a garden.

Three things the maker points at

A wide armrest with room for your arms, a full cushion set including two pillows, and a tempered glass top held on five suckers. None of them is exciting on its own; together they are what makes a set usable rather than just photogenic.

The numbers

Corner sofas 29 in square, armless middles 25.5 in wide and 29 in deep, both 24 in tall with the seat 12.5 in up under a 3 in cushion. The coffee table is 29 in square at 12.5 in high.

Under the weave

A steel structure inside the wicker and L shaped aluminium feet underneath. The feet lift the bottom row of weave clear of the deck, which matters more on a pale set because dirt shows where it collects and a pale cushion sitting close to a wet deck picks it up fastest.

Flat topped and broad enough to rest an arm or set a drink on.

Seat cushions, back cushions and two pillows, with waterproof washable covers.

The tempered top is held firmly to the 29 in woven base.

Enough to fasten every join in a six seat run so the pieces do not slide.

Arms at both open ends and continuous seating between them.

At the corner of each frame, keeping the weave off wet ground.

A lounging height, with a 3 in cushion on top of the frame.

On the seat cushion covers, so a pale colour can be washed rather than replaced.

A flat wide armrest is a small thing you notice every single time you sit down.

Cream on black is the boldest pairing in this range and shows the weave rather than hiding it.

Six seats around a 29 in table, in any of the nine shapes the maker draws on the listing.

How do I keep cream cushions clean on a black frame?

Unzip the covers and wash them cool at the end of the season, and brush them down when pollen falls. The contrast means dirt shows quickly, which is a reason to keep on top of it rather than to avoid the colour.

Are the printed pillows included?

No. Two plain pillows come with the set. The printed cushions in the photographs are there for styling.

What holds the pieces together?

Ten clips are supplied, which is enough to fasten every join in a six seat run. They stop the sections sliding apart in use.

Is the table top fixed?

It is held by five suckers. That keeps it steady when people lean on it, and it is more than most patio tables use.
