Are rattan outdoor bar stools suitable for use with fire pits?

Rattan outdoor bar stools can be a stylish addition to fire pit areas, but their suitability depends on several factors. Natural rattan is lightweight and weather-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor use, but it may not withstand prolonged exposure to intense heat. Synthetic rattan, often made from polyethylene, offers better heat resistance and durability. To ensure safety, maintain a safe distance between the stools and the fire pit, and consider using heat-resistant cushions. For a cozy yet practical setup, pair rattan stools with a fire pit screen and opt for darker colors to mask soot or ash. Always prioritize safety and check manufacturer guidelines for heat tolerance.
