AJ and I waited SO long to get our fire pit space all set up, and I’m so excited I had the pleasure of partnering with Overstock on this long awaited space. Since we moved in last Fall, we wanted to wait until closer to spring time to get everything outside put together. Here’s a look back to the building stage where our idea of the fire pit initially started:
The fire pit was actually a custom build that I will talk about on a future post, but the seating, pillows, and side table are all from Overstock. I was so excited to work with them on this because we actually already purchased our other patio furniture from them, so I was working to try and get items that would pair well with what we already had.
Take a look at the outdoor couch and chairs we already had below!
Designing the fire fit space was fun and challenging. As you can imagine, things do sell out quickly and so finding items that were what I wanted and in stock was tough. However, I’m so glad it took me a bit to find “the chairs” because they are beautiful! The perfect amount of wicker and teak, and they also are more of a “laid back” chair style. Overstock also had the ottoman that goes with these chairs for added comfort.
Here are the links to these chairs and the ottoman:
- Chair: 2 pc. Samera Teak & Bohemian Basket Loungers
- Ottoman: 2 pc. Samera Teak & Bohemian Ottoman Set
Overall, these chairs have been great and the perfect “fire pit” chairs since they are the lounger type. Additionally, they could with a lumbar pillow for added support! I seriously cannot speak higher of these chairs. One thing you will want to do though to protect these chairs is get yourself some teak oil to keep the teak protected. This will allow your chairs to look beautiful over time and not fade.
I was able to style the outdoor furniture with multiple outdoor pillows for an added decor look (but also more comfort). The solid black and patterned black pillows were very firm pillows and went great together on our current furniture we had. The tan patterned pillows added some style to the lounge chairs and just another form of comfort if needed.

Now let’s take a peak at some photos of how these items look around the fire pit!
The final item (and one I recommend having) is a side table or two to have around your fire pit. It’s a place to set your drink down and also can do a few different things: break up the chairs for some added space, or add some more furniture to give the space a finished look. We went with the Tatiana Outdoor Modern Boho Wicker Side Table with Tempered Glass Top by Christopher Knight Home in Light Brown, and it matches really well with these chairs! It also has a tempered glass top on it for easy clean up. The side table (and all the furniture really) was really simple to put together. Something I think is really valuable to a lot of people.
The fire pit has already been a place where family has been able to gather, and a relaxing spot for mom and dad while baby girl is asleep. AJ and I have always been a huge fan of fire pit spaces, so we are so happy to have our own space like this in our new home. Overstock has so many great choices for outdoor furniture so you can’t go wrong!
Let’s finish with another gallery of photos cause I just am so in love with this set! Thanks so much for all your support!
