Just got this out of its box...it will take a few minutes to fluff out all the branches, but so far it looks great. Perfect for the corner behind the tv...it is replacing a real ficus, that unfortunately has seen better days. I put it in a brass planter that I already had, and added a brick to keep it weighted down a bit more...although the base is pretty heavy on its own.

Pros: great value, looks good, no falling leaves to clean up like a real one!
Cons: non that I can think of so far
