It is a uniquely designed potted faux plant but the plant itself is of a pretty poor quality.  As long as it does not getting roughed up in shipping, it will be fine but if it gets turned upside down during shipping like ours did, the leaves will be bent and you won't be able to straighten them as they are kind of "cardboardy" and will break and become limp.  Otherwise, it is really, really cute and just the item and design I was looking for a particular space.
