But even during the warmer months, it can get pretty cool after the sun goes down. These fire pit tables come in a variety of styles, colors, and sizes, and they’ll not only provide some welcome warmth, but also give you a convenient place to put drinks and snacks.

Editor's Notes
October 23, 2019:
With a fire pit, you can enjoy many a memorable summer night in your backyard with family and friends. One that incorporates a table can make for a stylish piece of outdoor furniture, and it also can accommodate small plates and drinks, providing a convenient spot for al fresco dining. Whether you’re looking for a round, rectangular, or square model, our list has you covered. Many also come with the glass or lava rocks you’ll need.
Joining the selection is the Christopher Knight Home Crawford, an attractive choice that is made with a faux stone exterior in red, white, and gray. It’ll fit in nicely on most stone patios, featuring a 24-inch height and a 32-inch square tabletop that includes plenty of room for small plates and drinks around its periphery. This sturdy choice weights 155 pounds and conveniently requires no assembly, and it comes with lava rocks (which some people choose to swap out with colored glass rocks – purchased separately – as a matter of personal taste).
Another new addition is the Best Choice Products Farmhouse, which stands out on our list thanks to its rustic design that incorporates a traditional, slab-style pit and a matching cabinet that will hold your propane tank. Between these two components, you’ll have plenty of room for plates, bottles, and glasses as your guests sit around the fire. It conveniently comes with touch-up paint for use in the event it gets scratched.
Leaving our list is the Fire Sense Cocktail, amidst reports it’s difficult to assemble and can become scratched or dented easily. Also making its departure in this update is the Best Choice Products Extruded, which tends to degrade rather quickly, with the finish turning white from the elements.
For safety's sake, never leave propane or natural gas running after a fire has been extinguished. Doing so can potentially be dangerous if there is a spark near the pit. Also, make a habit of checking the hose regularly for leaks, holes, or other signs of damage. Keep young children safe by supervising them closely at all times when they're around a fire pit.
