I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived! Right out of the box the wreath was quite full, with a healthy shape. I didn't need to spent time opening the flowers or repositioning the leaves. It was ready to go right out of the box. The size of the flower petals and leaves, as well as the colors, are very realistic looking. There's quite a bit of volume in the wreath as well. Mine sticks out nearly 4". That's a benefit but worth keeping in mind. 4/5 stars because there were very thin, wispy strands of glue on the wreath (looked like spiderwebs) that I needed to spend ~15 mins cleaning. But well worth it!
