The topiary balls arrived a little squished and needed fluffing. I was surprised to see that each comes in two halves that must be fitted together. At first, I struggled to fit them together but then I realized I could use each half independently in a pot. Flexibility overall I am satsfied with the quality and size so far. I will be using them outside in the Colorado dynamic weather, so I am hoping they will hold up as well as my Wayfair topiary trees. I plan to put tiny fairy lights in the balls for the holidays.
