After looking and shopping for many oversize floor vases, I ordered this one and was delighted when it arrived! It is beautiful and just the right color and size for our two-story opening in one of our foyers. I like that it's lightweight, yet I partially filled the bottom with play sand for extra stability. And even though it is made of bamboo, it has a shiny, expensive appearance. I opted to forego a ceramic one to avoid any future mishaps, perhaps with the vacuum or floor steamer. I hadn't read that it would come complete with grass bundles, a Styrofoam anchor piece and a little faux moss to cover the opening. However, the instructions stated it would include three sets of decorative grasses and my package contained only two -- one package of long stick-like reeds and another with greenery which I'm going to omit. The reason for one less star is because of one was missing, but I don't know if I would have like it anyway or not. Otherwise, I love this piece!
