Just received this artificial plant which I purchased from the open box.  This time it was a great purchase, and everything was in order.  I love the artificial plant and will use it on my deck next year as I will be putting things away for winter shortly so they don't get ruined from the elements that winter can do on things.   Really sturdy, heavy base and two have stems that are inserted which makes the plant taller and fuller.  Just fluff and bend the leaves and it gives off a great addition to your space.  Add a basket or fun container and you are set, and you do not have to water which is a plus for me.
