Using your new outdoor patio coffee table is a breeze. Place it wherever you want - on the deck, porch, or by the pool. Indoors, it can be a great side table in the living room. Just make sure to assemble it first. With the included tools and either the illustrated instructions or the online PDF, you can put it together in just 10 minutes. When it comes to weight, it can support up to 300 lbs, so you don't have to worry about putting heavy items on it. The fixed plastic floor glides are there to protect your indoor floors. For maintenance, all you need to do is take a damp cloth and wipe the table clean to keep it looking good. Also, since it has a weather - resistant textured steel top, it can handle outdoor elements well. But in case of extreme weather like heavy snow or long - term rain, it might be a good idea to cover it or bring it indoors.
