I love, love this silk bamboo tree in a basket. The tree arrived 2 days early, which happens to most orders. The box was heavy, easy to unpack and standing the tree up was also easy. One short branch was broken off which was no problem - I just inserted it among the branches.  The package came with a really useful paper of directions to arrange the branches which I did not do immediately. I shook the tree and wanted it to just settle itself naturally for three days, then I gently twisted only a couple branches. This tree is tall and looks exactly like the picture. It is beautiful. It's a beautiful addition to my living room corner.
