I was a little hesitant in ordering because some people were saying it did not look like the picture and you could not get the branches to stand up. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It is shaped beautifully and flows evenly. I absolutely love it. As the Wayfair song says, it was just what I needed. :) I love the pot, very pretty, and the branches are so soft and supple that it flows very naturally. I an enjoying the color. It is a nice soft, light green. It looks wonderful on my den's buffet (Wayfair, by the way) haha. Very happy I chose to move forward with this purchase!
