A big outdoor set has to come apart in a particular sequence or it will not nest. Most people work it out by trial and error on a cold October afternoon, then give up and stack it badly.

The maker draws the whole process: cushions into the ottomans and the storage box, the armless sofas slotted into the corner sofas, the tempered glass top laid on, the coffee table inverted on that, the ottomans on top, and the waterproof cover over the lot.

Nine pieces in use

Two corner sofas, two armless middles, two storage ottomans, a storage box, a long coffee table and the fire table. The fire table is square rather than long, which puts it within reach of every seat in the group.

How it all packs down

Step by step, with pictures: cushions inside, sofas nested, glass top laid on, coffee table inverted, ottomans stacked, cover on. Following that order is the difference between a neat block against a wall and nine pieces spread across a garage.

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.

Where the tank lives

A door in the side of the table opens onto a cabinet for a standard 20 lb propane tank, which is bought separately. The feet are adjustable and non slip, and the top is ceramic with a marble pattern.

35 in square, ETL and CSA approved, with a knob for a high or low flame.

Drawn by the maker, so the set actually nests instead of sprawling.

A door in the table base takes a standard 20 lb propane tank, which is not included.

Described by the maker as fade resistant, with a removable lid over the burner.

A 33.5 in box and two 17.5 in storage ottomans, which are where the cushions go.

Two corner sofas and two armless middles, with the ottomans as extra perches.

Under the fire table, to level it on an uneven patio.

Zips on every cushion cover, with rope buckles holding the ottoman cushions.

A published packing sequence turns an annual argument into twenty minutes of following pictures.

50,000 BTU with a square table means everyone round the group gets the same heat.

Black cushions on black rattan is the version of this set that shows the least over a summer.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement, the BTU figure and both approvals come from the record's own specification block.
• The 20 lb propane tank is not included, and the maker states this.
• The written specification does not confirm whether the covers shown in the maker's panels are supplied, so none is claimed as included.
• 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.

How do I pack it away for winter?

The maker prints six numbered steps: cushions into the ottomans and the storage box, the armless sofas into the corner sofas, the tempered glass top on, the coffee table inverted, the ottomans on top, then the waterproof cover.

Where does the propane tank go?

Inside the fire table. A door in the side opens onto a cabinet sized for a standard 20 lb tank, which is bought separately.

Is the fire table usable in summer?

Yes. The lid is removable, so putting it back over the burner turns the table into a second surface for drinks.

How many boxes will arrive?

Five: one for the fire pit table and four for the sofa set. There are two bags of screws, one in the fire table box and one in the first sofa box, and the boxes may arrive on different days.
