The pot is too small and tips easily, plus mine arrived broken. The palm branches are held in the pot by layers of cement and foam, the foam in mine was cracked and the branches wouldn't stay in. The palm is very realistic so we decided to keep it and make our own pot.  I bought a larger plastic pot from Home Depot and mixed a bag of quickete to hold the branches in the pot and keep it weighted down. We have the pot on our deck and it no longer tips over.
