Patio plans
Save configured pieces to a patio plan for each space, then copy the plan when the season or the room changes.

Turn the plan into an order when you are ready.

Some tables arrive as one piece, and others are a top and a base listed apart. See what is included, and that the top and base fit together, before you add up the cost.
Look through the tables →Keep a running total
Save your configured pieces to a patio plan and name its zones. The plan adds up the furniture as you change the counts, with your notes kept beside it.
