I gave the fern a rating of 4 for how realistic it looks, however, I am really disappointed in the size. The description states that it is 15" H, my fern stands at about 10". I included a picture next to a coffee pot as a size reference. If you are looking for something truer to 15", this might not work for you. I am keeping the arrangement, but it's not going where I had originally intended to go.
