Tip: Before moving outdoor furniture indoors, always check the safety information provided for the product. Outdoor furniture may not have to pass the same flammability tests that indoor furniture does. However, many sets are made for both indoor or outdoor use. Making outdoor chairs indoor-friendly could be as easy as changing the covers.
