Ciays 43" Rectangular Propane Fire Pit Table
Best build — The 43-inch rectangular Ciays is the one table here built out of 304 stainless rather than powder-coated steel, with a glass wind guard and a 2-in-1 lid, at 60,000 BTU. On a coast or under Florida humidity that material choice is the whole argument, because rust is what ends the cheap steel tables in this category.

Pros
- 304 stainless rather than powder-coated steel — the direct answer to the rust complaints on the cheaper tables here
- 60,000 BTU with a glass wind guard and an extended 3-inch table edge for drinks
- 2-in-1 lid turns it into a full dining table when the fire is off
- 4.6★ across 905 owners, the highest rating of the three tables we recommend
Cons
- IGNITION IS THE COMPLAINT, AND HERE IT IS SEVERE — eight of the ten most recent critical reviews are 1- or 2-star, and the theme is a table that never lights, stops lighting after about ten uses, or worked exactly once
- Two isolated but serious reports on the recent tail: one unit that caught fire after first use, and one owner whose glass stones cracked and flew out of the pit on the second lighting
- Wrong or missing parts ship often enough to plan for it — lava rock instead of the advertised glass stones, a missing windscreen, missing bolts — and several owners report no working route back to the seller
- Its 905 rating pools 28-inch, 42-inch and 43-inch tables, and the visible reviews sit across three of those sizes
- Its price is a Limited time deal, so no street price is published here — read the live figure on the card
- Ciays publishes no CSA certificate number and its own storefront only repeats the phrase inside a product title
- Its 28-inch sibling carries the same ignition complaint, so this is a brand pattern rather than one bad size
Ignition and gas delivery, and on this size it is more severe than on the 28-inch sibling. Recent owners describe a unit that never lights at all, one that stopped lighting after about ten uses, and one that worked exactly once - a bad regulator or valve is the recurring diagnosis. Wrong or missing parts shipped (lava rock instead of the advertised glass stones, a missing windscreen, missing bolts) is the second theme, and several owners say there is no working route back to the seller. Two isolated but serious reports: one table that caught fire after first use, and one owner whose glass stones cracked and flew out of the pit on the second lighting.
70 of 905 are critical (7.7 percent), the highest critical share of the three tables we recommend. On the helpfulness sort the tail is mostly 3-star shipping and seller-contact complaints; on the RECENCY sort eight of the ten most recent critical cards are 1- or 2-star and the theme is ignition or the table ceasing to work. · critical reviews read August 2026
