I found this store online when looking for outdoor patio furniture. I was surprised when I entered the small shop because I didn't see the patio chairs and loungers I was expecting. However, I noticed lots of dining tables and fire tables and started looking more closely at the table tops that were present. They were beautiful . . . works of art custom-made with all types of tile. While there, I decided to have a bench made since it was reasonably priced. Patty was wonderful and took lots of time to discuss options and look at different types of tile. I felt completely comfortable when I left, believing that my vision would be implemented just as I expected. It will be weeks before I receive the bench, but I'm excited to see the finished product! read more

You wont find a more artistic fire feature anywhere! I have a beautiful mosaic fire pit table with a matching bench and recently purchased a waterfall to match.... these guys are are nothing short of master craftsmen. I receive compliments by just about everyone that has visited and enjoyed the awesome Zen experience of my backyard. Big thanks to the Surrounding Elements team for everything. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a piece that is one of a kind! read more

My patio furniture lasted longer than my marriage! : ). I was one of the first customers for Surrounding Elements in Irvine buying the chairs, umbrella, fire-pit barbecue, and chaise lounge chairs in 2001. I loved the furniture so much that my extended family bought similar items for their homes. After four moves I had lost a couple of the feet on the bottom of the chairs and attempted to replace them using feet purchased from eBay. To no avail, none of them worked. I decided to take my chances and call Surrounding Elements to see if they had the product after 20 years and if parts were still available. To my luck, Patty was able to find them and send them to me for free! This is a testament to not only the great quality in furniture but also the long lasting ultimate customer service! read more

Surrounding Elements - 20 years of great patio furniture life! - Outdoor Furniture Stores Near Me - San Juan Capistrano, California

I'm an Orange County resident, but ran across this company at a street a large street fair in Tucson, AZ. Here were all this well crafted and beautifully designed tables that I thought would look great in our newly landscaped yard. I contacted the representative (Patty) at the fair and after a brief and friendly conversation found out that their office and showroom was just a fifteen minute drive from home in OC. A few months later we stopped into the local showroom in Capistrano. We spoke to Moss who assisted us in making slight modifications on colors to an already existing design. We were told that due to demand it would take about 12-14 weeks to delive. Well, right at 13 weeks we were contacted and the table was delivered and turned out absolutely beautifully. Zach was the delivery driver. He was on time for his appointment, polite and did a top notch installation job with care. If you are looking for a unique and beautiful addition to your yard and want to deal with a friendly and professional local company, Look no further than "Surrounding Elements." Based on my experience, they are highly recommended. read more

Would definitely recommend Surrounding Elements for future projects. Moss was extremely helpful and helped us design a fire patio table that we absolutely love. Its become the center piece of our California room. We get so many compliments on the table, even one of our contractors was impressed and wanted to look into one for themselves. Go check them out!! read more

This review is less of the "I just had it delivered and I love it!" and more of a "The quality and craftsmanship is unbeatable, I've had this for over a decade and it's still in great shape!I " type of review. I bought it in April and it was delivered in May of 2005. The setup has been outside, uncovered, exposed to beach-close (1/4 mile) salt-air and elements for 12 years! I cannot say enough about the quality of their fire pit tables. I bought one that measured 4X5, with a custom tile design, with 6 high-quality (Telescope brand ) chairs, and a matching side table with auto-tilt Sunbrella-fabric umbrella. The chairs are due for some powder coat restoration, but the slings are in good, solid shape. Since the chairs are made by someone else and not Surrounding Elements, this is not on them. The table's granite and tile is still in brand-new shape! It would probably look even better had I sealed it every 6 months like they advise, but I haven't sealed it in a decade. It still looks fantastic! I envy the newer "leg-warmer" openings built into today's tables, and the church-key on/off switch. I also wish mine had the newer diamond-fire glass instead of the ceramic faux-wood logs. Because the quality is so good, I am still many, many years away from replacing it with the newer designs. I'm probably not even half way through the life of my current table. The table's metal is in great shape and barely shows any age. The tile has never cracked, and the grout is still solid and not at all chipping or flaking off. In fact, the only thing I've had to do to it in 12 years is replace the hose for the propane tank, and I did that very recently. That cost me $25. If you want cheap you can go to Costco and get a setup for less that will need replacing in just a few short years. If you want quality, and goods that will last decades (literally), then I highly recommend Surrounding Elements. I'll try to upload pix I took today (3/27/17) so you can look at how well it has endured 12 harsh-element exposed years. read more

I can't say enough about this company. The product is gorgeous and the responsiveness of their employees are great. It might take a month or 2 to get the product but it is well worth the wait. After we got our fire pit we noticed a little puffing sound and Moss immediately did all he could to trouble shoot the issue and even face timed with us to solve the problem after a few days of trying a new burner and changing the tanks we all discovered the issue was simply the placement of glass beads. Thank you Moss and Kessel!! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. We love, love, LOVE the piece of art that is our new firepit table! We had our table delivered yesterday. First, the ordering experience: Patty and Moss were great; we had a short window for delivery and they were nothing but accomodating. Oh, I know that some businesses will take your order and make promises about being able to make your delivery on time and then make excuse when that date comes and goes without delivery, but Moss, Patty, and the entire crew worked to exceed our expectations by delivering almost a week early. From start to finish it took only a week and a few days. And we live in Vegas, a 4-5 hour drive for them. The construction phase: We had them put a different center piece in place; a big sun. Patty and Moss, with their expertise guided us for the tiles to use. It is fantastic! This table is intricate, unique and absolutely a beautiful piece of art with each piece of stone and tile used, hand crafted/cut to create a wonderful, beautiful artwork. Patty and Moss, you need to call your products what they are; ART. Delivery: so, it took from start to finish and delivery, even with a couple of slight changes/adjustments, about a week. For such a labor intensive piece I would have expected longer but they delivered! Anthony was wonderful and set up the table and went through the instructions patiently. And it was 105 degrees outside. We are beyond pleased. Thank you Moss, Patty, Anthony, and everyone at Surrounding Elements who worked to craft and deliver such a beautiful table.

I'll make this as simple as possible. I bought a table, bar, and cooking island from them over 3 years ago. The pieces are beautifully hand-crafted, look stunning, and are very easy to maintain. Everybody that sees the furniture says how beautiful it is. We are in the process of buying a fire pit. EVERYTHING you see written in these reviews is true! read more

I purchased the mosaic firepit table from SE ten years ago and couldn't be more happy with my decision. The table is absolutely gorgeous and the quality of workmanship is exemplary. My family also love the many ways that we can use the table. I would give this my highest possibly recommendation for someone looking for an amazing blend of aesthetics and usability. An absolute work of art!! read more

This is a first rate operation with beautiful outdoor furniture and impeccable customer service. My husband and I bought a patio set and a custom palapa for our yard eight years ago. Whenever we need help with something that may need repair or adjustment someone is sent out, free of charge. They are the gold standard of what quantity and performance should look like. If your looking for outdoor furniture, this is the place to go! read more

We had wanted a fire pit on our deck, but didn't have room for that as well as a large dining table. Surrounding Elements had just the answer for us. We saw them at a street fair in Los Altos and were immediately impressed. Their features are unique, the quality first rate, and the table designs are truly works of art. There is a fire pit right in the center of the table. When not in use, an aluminum bowl fits over the pit and acts as an ice bucket for drinks. A lazy-susan then rests above making full use of the space. They even have access for an umbrella if you chose to add one. You just won't see anything like this elsewhere. They have several standard designs, but will also do custom work. We saw a mountain themed design on their website and had Moss build a table similar to that for our cabin. It totally captures the surrounding environment. The quality of the service also matches that of the product. Moss is very accessible should you have any questions. Also, the delivery crew of John and Aaron was on time, polite, educated about the product, and helpful. I highly recommend Surrounding Elements. read more

Oh my gosh!!! I have shopped all over!! This guy's the best! Moss the owner not only sells it but he delivers! Moss drove over 45 miles for our quote. His website and pictures speak for him very well. However, his expertise in creating the ultimate island and fireplace was amazing! I felt as though I was treated by The Nordstrom of outdoor living areas. Moss first carefully listened to my wants and needs. He was patient as I showed him all my pictures from houzz and Pinterest. He then came up with a drawing compiling all my pictures, thoughts, wants and needs. He spent over 3 hours with my husband and me. Needless to say he got the job! He's got ideas even better than the ones I had researched. Moss made my dream a reality! I'm getting the most state of the art barbecue and fireplace ever!!! Moss and Surrounding elements is the only company to consider for your outdoor living needs! read more

We received our new table just before Christmas and can't articulate how happy we are. The table is truly a work of art and looks beautiful on our patio. We chose a 5' x 7' oval and can easily fit 8 patio chairs around it with room for at least 2 or 4 more smaller chairs. We are able to sit on the patio during chilly nights and enjoy the extra ambiance of the fire. Our experience in ordering and receiving delivery was exceptional. Moss was wonderfully flexible as we had some commitments that he worked around to ensure we received our table when we were home. The delivery guys, Kessler and Frank, were awesome. Chris was also extremely helpful in getting the delivery scheduled around our needs. The quality and beauty of the table are beyond words. We have become the envy of the neighborhood! Anyone considering an investment in one of these beautiful works of art should not hesitate...it is well worth the cost. read more

Amazing art work and quality tables. My parents bought one of these tables and the artistry is beautiful and the table is constructed perfectly! read more

Amazing artwork that would razle dazzle all of your guests! Great company! Great customer above and beyond customer service!

We purchased 2 tables, chairs and bar stools from surrounding elements. We had original asked for a November delivery date and then asked for the order to be bumped up to July. Surrounding Elements said no problem and we received the delivery in July. They were very easy to work with on delivery. The quality and workmanship of their tables is outstanding. The color and the brand of chairs and bar stools that Surrounding Elements recommended to us was perfect for our tables and they offered a very fair price. This company is not the lowest priced company in their industry but the quality of their products is worth the additional cost and their service is icing on the cake. read more

We shopped extensively for a custom island and got half a dozen estimates. Surrounding Elements was on the high end, but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for"! Although they specialize in custom tables (which are incredible), they do phenomenal islands. Moss is an artist, and had great ideas for matching colors and textures to our backyard. He came over to the house and spent a good hour with us discussing options. We were updated frequently of the progress (with pictures). The project was completed on time, delivered and installed professionally by his long time crew, most of which have been with him for several years. I will say the workmanship and detail is better than anticipated. The island is EXTREMELY sturdy and we know it will hold up over time. Moss even gave us extra stucco so we could finish a backyard wall in the matching color. In short, Moss and SE are true professionals with integrity. Thats important to us. read more

There is run-of-the-mill patio furniture, and then there is Surrounding Elements. Living in the desert, we've experienced the cycle of buying new sets of outdoor furniture every few years after watching it disintegrate in the sun and heat. Then we found Surrounding Elements. True artistry that lasts! Since we bought our tables and chairs, we spend more time out on our patio than we spend indoors. Our guests gush over the beauty and quality of the stone and iron pieces. Moss and his team have created for us an outdoor "room" under the stars furnished with unique and comfortable artwork. I know this sounds weird, but it now feels like we have a "relationship" with our patio furniture. Go figure. Is it expensive? Yes, relatively. But is it high quality? Absolutely. Either you buy another set-up at Costco every few years, or you buy something that will last a lifetime. We've made our choice and are delighted we did. read more

We were fitting out our new deck (see the review for Timeless Teak!) but just happened on these guys and instantly fell in love with their work, and ordered a coffee table the next day. It has been on the deck for a few weeks now and it is absolutely wonderful. They put a design together but then let us come to the shop to see it before they glued it down, and took our input and adjusted accordingly. It is solid craftsmanship, with great color and balance. They are expensive but the quality shows through. read more

We've had our table 2 years now and we absolutely LOVE it! Kessler did an amazing job and provided us with our dream table. The quality and service was outstanding. Thank you Surrounding Elements!! read more

After extensive research on all things fire-table related, I chose to work with surrounding elements. From the first call, Moss was very helpful and knowledgable. He was also very patient. I had tons of questions and he never made me feel like a "bother". He even offered his cell phone so he could be reached with any additional questions. After the sale, and during production, Moss called to offer a suggestion to change one of the tiles I had selected that would make the table look even better. I agreed with him, his suggestion really made the the table look absolutely stunning. AND, unlike other places, he was not angling for an "extra" This beautiful tile was substituted at no cost to me! This was after the sale! I had never experienced this from any contractor or vendor before. I was updated throughout the production process, and when it was time for delivery, Moss made sure to follow the tracking from California to Texas. This is the first fire table I own, so I was a bit intimidated by its installation. Moss assured me that if the included instructions were not enough, that he would be available to help via face-time/skype! Service, professionalism and an outstanding product that is the new focal point of our garden. Thank you Moss! A.R. Family from Texas read more

We purchased our table in 2005 and it still looks brand new. We never cover it or have tried to protect it from the element. With everything in our home over the last 18 years having to be replaced or repaired it's comforting the table and accessories have not had to be touched. It is beautiful and built to last. It was definitely an investment piece , but well worth it. We receive compliments from everyone who sees it. We mainly use the table as a fireplace and we contacted the company when we converted it from logs to fire glass and natural gas. It's even more elegant. The company has been great to do business with too. In love. read more

I have been buying my outdoor furniture from Moss at Surrounding Elements for the past 10 years. His fire pit tables aren't just furniture- they are pieces of art. If you are looking for low cost, run-of-the-mill stuff your best bet is probably Costco. But if want something that will wow your friends and last a lifetime, you definitely need to check out Surrounding Elements. read more

this has been a great experience from start to end....saw the fountain at the Fountain Hills Art Fair in Arizona.....ordered from Moss, and it was delivered and installed yesterday....the two young men who delivered were great, they stayed until it was perfect, and even sealed it for us......it is not only a piece of art, it is extremely well made.....couldn't recommend more highly!! read more

We purchased out outdoor patio furniture from Surrounding Elements in 2004. Here it is March of 2017 and we are still so very pleased with our set!!! We were in need of a replacement piece on 2 of the rocker chairs...not bad after 13 years of use! Customer service went above and beyond to ensure we received the correct replacement parts. Prompt, trustworthy and wonderful craftmanship, you will not be disappointed! read more

This company has got to be the best on the planet with regards to product quality and customer service. We bought a patio table and chair set from them several years ago when we visited the home show in Santa Clara, CA. We had a small problem with the top and the owner sent out a completely new top within days. His drivers made a special trip to San Jose (where we live) from southern CA. just to bring us the new top. Over a year later, this top developed a few small cracks in the granite from what I can only surmise would be "settling" as my patio is not 100% level. I called the company and within a week someone came and spent at least half a day chipping out the bad tiles and replacing them on site. He basically rebuilt part of the table top. It's been many years now and not one problem since. We've been so happy with the experience, we recently bought another table set from them after seeing the display at the "October Fest" street fair in Campbell, CA. Great products and even greater people. read more
