Spent a lot of time on-line shopping for a suitable plant for the corner of our living area in condo. This fit the bill perfectly for a reasonable price. Shaped it slowly as I felt I can always spread it out more, but I suspect it will not do well if bent to far.
Update 5 months later 
I have changed my rating from 5 to 1 star. It looked perfect, for a few months. Left condo in early May. Returned in early August (condo conditioned at 80F and 60 humidity). Several of the trunkbranch connections just bent of their own weight. (See pictures) The “sleeve” connecting the trunk offshoot with the palm frond is to weak, or flimsy, to support the weight of the frond. My concern, above, about not doing well if bent to far… Answered with no assistance from me…I did not bend, they all collapsed on their own.
