Sun cream, barbecue smoke and a spilled drink all end up on outdoor cushions. On a set where the cover is sewn shut, the first accident in June is still there in September.

Each cover on this set comes off at a smooth zip and goes in the wash. The maker calls the fabric waterproof and durable, but the removable cover is the feature you will actually use.

How the set goes together

Three loveseat sections form the L, the table sits inside it and three stools live under the table. Black cushions hide the dust and pollen that mark a pale set within a week outdoors.

Sizes and what is in the boxes

The L runs 90.5 in by 69 in with backs 28 in tall and seats 23.5 in deep, 12 in from the ground. The table is 52 in by 30 in at 26 in. The panel underneath counts out one of each seating section, three ottomans and the table.

What the covers are

Polyester over lofty sponge, with a zip on every cover. The maker calls the fabric waterproof and durable. Those are their words; the part that matters daily is that the cover comes off and washes.

Room to move around it

At nearly eight feet along the back this set wants a corner rather than a walkway. Outdoor layout guides suggest around 36 in of clear floor behind seating, which is worth pacing out before it arrives rather than after the boxes are open.

On every cushion, so a mark can be washed rather than lived with.

They build a 90.5 in by 69 in L with arms at both open ends.

Plastic wood boards on a crossbar braced frame, 30 in deep and 26 in high.

15 in square and 12 in tall, small enough to disappear under the table.

Tied to the frame so they do not slide off when the stool is moved.

Tall enough to support shoulders rather than stopping at the waist.

On the sofas and the table, to steady the set and protect the deck.

Inside the weave, which the maker credits for the durability.

Black cushions plus removable covers is the combination that survives children, barbecues and a summer of visitors.

An L this size needs two walls or a boundary to sit against rather than a walkway to block.

A 26 in table is high enough for plates, and the three stools bring the seating up to nine places without another piece of furniture arriving.

How do I wash the covers?

Unzip them, wash them cool and let both the cover and the foam dry fully before putting them back. Rushing that step is what makes outdoor cushions smell musty.

Do the stools really fit under the table?

Yes. They are 15 in square and 12 in high under a table that stands 26 in, so all three push underneath and leave the deck clear.

Is the table wood?

It has a slatted plastic wood top rather than timber, on a crossbar braced frame. It gives the look of boards without the annual oiling.

How many people can sit down?

Six across the three loveseat sections, plus three more on the ottomans. That is nine places in a footprint of 90.5 in by 69 in.
