I needed a tall, tropical-looking plant that wasn't overly wide, but I did not want it scrawny skinny either.  This tree was a good choice.  It was easy to adjust the branches once out of the box.  We purchased it for our new gazebo.  The reason for four stars is because the wind has blown it over a few times, so we've had to place rocks in the basket and tie it to the railing.  It's not as if the wind was gale-force either.  I'd say it's a bit top heavy and could use a bigger basket.  However, if it's going to be indoors where there is no breeze, then toppling over would not be an issue.  It is something we've been able to rectify, and it in no way detracts from the authentic appearance of the tree itself.
