This Costco Deal Is the Single Best Thing You Can Buy This Summer

The summer entertaining season is here. But your outdoor furniture has seen better days. Don’t stress — Costco has a patio set at a price you won’t believe.

Costco is known for its bulk buys that make saving on everyday essentials actually possible. While these bargains are a reason to shop there, the retailer also offers serious savings on big-ticket items, including this seven-piece Agio McKinnon dining set with a fire table.

Yes, this Costco buy is priced higher than most of the retailer’s bulk buys. But, at below $1,900, this seven-piece set is affordable compared to a specialty patio furniture store.

Keep in mind that this is more than just a table and chairs. Along with six all-weather resin wicker seats and a durable hand-laid porcelain dining space, it also includes a fully functional fire feature.

The integrated fire pit can keep you warm on a chilly summer night, toast marshmallows, or heat veggie kabobs at your next backyard dinner party.

The table’s stylish, modern-looking center hides a 20-pound propane tank (not included with purchase), giving this set a sleek aesthetic. If you prefer natural gas, a qualified pro can convert the table.

When the weather gets too hot to use the fire feature, cover it to expand the usable table space. The set comes with a protective cover for the central pit. During the off-season, you’ll also get a large furniture cover that fits over the table and chairs.

Just how durable is this set in real life? This Costco customer wrote on Reddit, “Holds up great and use it all the time. Survived Wisconsin winters.”
