I wanted to love this tree - and searched for a very long time for one that was rated indoor/outdoor to have my deck over the holidays.  It was fine - not really one I would display in my home as it was not "real" looking.  I decided it was fine for outside.  However, the inside of the branches rusted...and left rust on my brand new deck.  Very sad I made this purchase.  It pains me to say that because I absolutely LOVE Wayfair - but this tree ruined a brand new $3,000 deck. (I had a previous tree that was not as nice - but left no rust - so that thought never entered my mind). :(
