Bought this faux plant to replace a long-time small potted ficus tree in patio room. Was tired of cleaning up falling leaves I hard-to-reach corner. This tree looks really nice in its place. Although a person could tell it's not real on upclose inspection, it looks real enough from a short distance. Packaging was excellent and assembly a breeze (I do need to work on arranging fronds a little more... too upright) The great thing about the artificial materials used, there is NO chemical odor, unlike some other (similar) products. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase. Thank you.
