I purchased 2 of these plants, and they are beautiful!  From a distance, they truly do look real.  They are not 36" tall, so if you are looking for that height, these are a good 6" shorter.  They filled out beautifully.  I purchased them to place on either side of the entertainment center, and noticed that the pots don't match exactly.  One is a bit bigger than the other, but I can live with it.  As indicated, they are very pretty, and I am happy with my purchase.
