Using this coffee table is a breeze. You can place it either indoors or outdoors. On the wide concrete top, you can serve snacks during a party or play board games with friends. To keep it in good shape, clean it regularly with mild soap and water. You should also re - seal the table occasionally as recommended. Since it's rust and stain - resistant, you don't have to worry too much about spills or the weather. But do remember that although it has foot caps to protect your floor, be careful when moving it to avoid any accidental scratches. You don't need to assemble it, so it's ready to use right out of the box.
