We needed a small plant for the lower shelf of an end table. I like the three dimensional succulent leaves. A few have a bit of a reddish tinge, which adds to the realism. I also like the white ceramic pot. I am not crazy about the stand. It is made of cheap looking wood with a light white stain. Because the dimensions listed the stand separately, I assumed I could use the plant without it. Unfortunately, it is glued to the pot.
