Pros
- Real GFRC — Portland concrete with glass fiber, dyed through, monolithic — not a painted panel composite
- The 27-in round pit is the size that fits a lanai a 42-in table will not
- Sold by Modeno's own store; a natural-gas version at the same price
- Electronic ignition with a flame-failure shutoff
Cons
- Thirteen ratings in six years, and 40% of them one- or two-star: 'Doesn't work… igniter doesn't work' twice
- Nothing new since 2024 on either fuel listing; the natural-gas twin has eight ratings and ten in stock
- Every concrete maker's warranty excludes the hairline cracks and charring GFRC develops near the burner
- Modeno is an Elementi line, so the Roca, the Manhattan and this are one maker's word three times
It does not light — 'Doesnt work. We set it all up and unboxed, set up rocks, and ignitor doesnt work' (Oct 2022), 'Doesn't work. Since I bought it refurbished… seller won't allow returns/refunds' (Jan 2023). That is the whole critical tail on a thirteen-rating base; the five-star cards are two-line 'we love it' notes from 2020–2024.

✓ Safety: no active recall — CPSC SaferProducts API queried 2026-09-06 by ProductName= ('fire pit', 'propane fire pit', 'fire bowl' and the brand name): no recall of a residential propane fire bowl or concrete fire table 2023–2026; the 2025–26 tabletop-fire-pit recalls are the ethanol 'flame-jetting' class, a different fuel. Propane: outdoor use only; every manual carries the same carbon-monoxide warning, and the manufacturers' shelter clause (a roof with no more than two side walls, or three walls with 30% of the perimeter open) is the definition of 'outdoors'. Elementi's manuals (per our research read; not re-read by us): 48 in to combustibles on all sides, 72 in minus the appliance height overhead, a hard non-combustible surface, and 'do not locate this fire table under any overhead enclosure'.
