The Schefflera Tree with Pot arrived on time, and very well packed in a very sturdy box, well wrapped upon opening.  Although it looks very nice from a distance, when closer to the product, the leaves look very plastic, and fake, which is what it is.  Lets face it, it is an artifical fake plant.  Natural is natural, and fake is fake.  I did hope that while ordering , that it would appear to be more natural looking than what I did get sent to me.
