Concrete sometimes develops tiny hairline cracks, but our fire tables are fiber reinforced, which prevents these cracks from growing or separating when they happen. They’re not a defect; they’re just part of owning a concrete fire table.

We recommend inspecting your beach stones from time to time, when the fire table is cool, and discarding the stones that have cracks in them.

You can contact Ethan Allen Client Services to order replacement stones, for either the beach stones found in concrete fire tables and the lava rock found in both fire tables and fire pits.

We use the term fire table for our rectangular or square concrete fire tables and fire pit for our smaller, circular metal propane fire pit.

A lot of people use the terms fire pit and fire table interchangeably, but we think of fire pits as more portable. You can, provided you follow the placement guidelines in your installation manual, move your fire pit around as needed. A concrete fire table, especially one connected to a natural gas line, would be harder to move.

If you love the romance of sitting by a fire after a meal, or you’re looking for a way to extend the outdoor season by keeping your patio warmer on chilly nights, you’re going to love having a fire table. Natural gas and propane fire tables like ours are a low maintenance and—if we say so ourselves—beautiful addition to any deck or patio.
