The topiary arrived via FedEx first thing this morning- right on time. I was so eager to get it out of the box, as I have wanted one for years. It looks pretty good- just as shown on the site and no damage from shipping that I could see. I set it up on the front porch and took some pictures, but decided to keep it inside for a couple of days to see if the branches settle a bit- it's made of a hard plastic, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed (hence, only 4 stars).  At any rate, my sons both commented on how much they like it- and unsolicited praise from two adolescent boys is really saying something.
