Conversation Sets, seats 7, PE wicker, Blue, modular

Seven seats let you gather your whole group without leaving anyone on a folding chair or the steps. The modular pieces mean you arrange the wedge so the person who needs back support gets the armrest section, and the one who likes to stretch claims the corner. Blue PE wicker holds its tone against the patio stone.

When the flat pack arrives, you carry the cartons to the spot where it will stand. You build it there, fitting the frames together before the afternoon sun moves. Each spring, you walk out with the tool and retighten the fittings so the set stays square through another season outdoors.
