We actually purchased this for a spot indoors. Over the years we've purchased so many pieces of furniture that either wore out or just didn't work with our living space anymore, so we decided to find something that no matter what, we will always use somewhere. When it outlives its purpose inside, we'll move it out to the deck. The construction is solid, and the assembly was easy. I only wish there were a couple more color options for the cushion (like brown, dark green or khaki) , as the very light beige will be tough to keep clean. Even so, it zips off for washing (don't put in dryer!).
