So far I love these trees! I purchased 3 as a nice way of dividing my patio from my neighbor (townhouse community)  I did purchase ceramic pots to weight them down a bit more so the do not blow over as another review had recommended.  a couple of small branches fell off when I freshened them up when I took them out of the boxes but other than that they look great and I am sure they will hold up to an NJ winter 

Pros: Nice looking tree, good patio divider 
Cons: light in weight, purchase additional pots to keep in place, and some branches fell off while unboxing
