Using this Modrest Morley coffee table is easy. You can place it indoors in your living room or outdoors on your patio. Just make sure to assemble it according to the instructions as some assembly is required. When it comes to weight, don't put more than 180 Lbs. on it to avoid any damage. For maintenance, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep its concrete finish looking great. Since it has an acrylic - sealed finish, it's quite resistant to stains, but try to clean up spills as soon as possible. And if you're using it outdoors, be aware of extreme weather conditions as long - term exposure to harsh elements might affect its appearance over time.
