36" x 54" Rectangular MGP Top Chat Height Fire Table

Details at a Glance

The Marine Grade Polymer top on this fire table is non-porous, so it won't absorb pool chemicals, wine spills, or sunscreen -- and it doesn't require sealing to stay waterproof. This 36x54-inch rectangular propane fire table stands 26 inches high with an enclosed tank storage base, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Chat height puts the surface right where your forearms naturally rest, so you're not leaning forward all evening.

Will the MGP Top Hold Up to Chlorine and Direct Sun?

Yes -- Marine Grade Polymer is engineered specifically to resist pool chemicals and UV fade without absorbing moisture. The surface won't stain when sunscreen or salt water sits on it, and it won't crack or warp through freeze-thaw cycles the way wood composite does. Cast aluminum framing won't rust in humid climates or near salt air, so the structure stays solid season after season.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

The MGP top and aluminum frame are weather-resistant enough to stay outside year-round, but you'll want to disconnect and remove the propane tank before temperatures drop below freezing -- tanks can vent dangerously in extreme cold. Cover the table when it's not in use to keep leaves and debris out of the burner, and store the tank indoors or in a ventilated shed over winter. The surface doesn't need oiling or sealing before you put it away.

Why Does Chat Height Work Better Than Coffee Height?

Chat height sits at 26 inches, right where your arms rest naturally when you're seated in a deep lounge chair -- you don't have to hunch forward to reach your drink or the flame. Coffee-height fire tables force that lean-in posture all night. This rectangular shape fits well in outdoor fire table groupings with six to eight seats, and the 54-inch length gives you room for appetizers and glassware without crowding the burner. It also works as an anchor piece when you're pairing outdoor coffee tables with deeper seating on a large patio. The enclosed base cabinet hides the 20-pound propane tank, so you don't see it from any seat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this fire table safe on a covered patio?

Yes, as long as you maintain the manufacturer's recommended clearances from the ceiling and combustible materials, and check the tank connection regularly for leaks.

What fuel does it use?

This table runs on a standard 20-pound propane tank, which stores inside the enclosed base cabinet.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The MGP top resists UV fade, and the cast aluminum frame holds its finish without needing touch-up paint -- matte black is standard, with 20+ custom frame finishes available if you order ahead.

How do I store it over winter?

Disconnect and remove the propane tank, then cover the table to keep debris out of the burner -- the MGP and aluminum can stay outside, but the tank should be stored in a ventilated space indoors.

Can you roast marshmallows on a propane fire table?

No -- propane fire tables are designed for ambiance, not cooking, and the gas flame can produce soot that gets on food.

Does this ship fully assembled?

No, this is made-to-order and requires some assembly upon delivery, including tank installation and burner connection -- free curbside delivery is included.
