These artificial boxwood topiaries look pretty real (unless you look closely, of course). They were replacing cheaper ones that were nowhere near as dense or real-looking and fell apart when I took them out of their winter storage box. They go into urns on each side of my front door. Once you fluff the branches a bit, the look is complete. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that even after fluffing the branches they do not look exactly like in the product image. I think the image was a little 'amended' in terms of shape and density.
