Why not?

We have a large family room. This fall when we were putting the outdoor
stuff away my wife suggested we bring in our glass top "cafe" table and use
it in the family room so it would not get damaged. We now enjoy breakfast
together while watching the morning news before I head out to work. I'm
going to miss it come summer when it goes back outside.

Been there, done that. Loved it. Lots of stuff available at yard sales.
Lots of fluff items that make your living room look like a patio at a condo
in Cabo. Definitely relaxing. If you have room, put up a hammock, too. A
very casual air for entertaining. And you're not worried about anyone
getting bean dip on the leather sofa.

well I know it sounded crazy but I like the light
weight and sturdiness of the patio furniture better
than regular furniture

Yeah. You want a little better angle on the TV, and it's easy to just move
a chaise rather than moving a couch. Easy to rearrange quickly if you want
more room for a party. Easy to add a couple of more chairs for this and
that. Very flexible. And if it gets bean dip spilled on it, just take it
outside and hose it off.

That's a decent set, I have the same one ( outside on my patio) and it has
held up for 2 years just fine. I'm sure it will be great inside too. You
might need to put something under the bottom to avoid scratching the floor
if it's wood or soft tile, but other than that..why not?
