When man discovered the controlled use of fire during the Early Stone Age, roughly 790,000 years ago, he never could have imagined that the future of controlled fire was going to be so darn beautiful. Modern outdoor fire tables, designed to be an eye-catching focal point, create warmth and entice social gathering in the yard, are a decidedly hot trend in home design. Our Styleture editorial team members have long been fans of fire tables and we’ve been keeping our eyes out for the hottest ones on the market.
