- Warranty
- A 1-year manufacturer’s warranty is standard across the fire table line, notably shorter than what its premium price point might suggest.

Overview
Outland Living, operating as FMI Brands Inc., is based in Surrey, British Columbia. It started with portable propane camping fire pits (the "Ban Buster," later the popular Firebowl line introduced in 2012) before expanding into furniture-style fire tables with the 401 and 403 series. The brand is known for consistent CSA certification and above-average build quality versus similarly-priced steel competitors.
Is it worth it?
Outland Living is worth it as the best all-around choice for buyers who want one reliable gas fire table and are done shopping. Its CSA certification and rust-resistant aluminum construction reduce the two most common failure points in the category — corrosion and ignition-safety issues — and it doubles convincingly as a coffee table. The honest knock is the 1-year warranty, which is short for the price; buyers optimizing purely for lowest cost per BTU can save with Bali Outdoors.
