I have been looking for a fairly tall palm for nearly 2 years and I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars, nor did I want a big fancy pot.  I wanted to put it in the corner of my living room to create a more British Colonial/Tropical West Indies look.  This palm is perfect.  The little pot is perfect for my needs and would fit in a more decorative pot if desired. When it arrived I took time to fan out the leaves and position the branches for the look I wanted.  It looks real from a distance and provides the perfect effect in my room.
