The blooms are okay, but the stems (just three plastic stalks that cross cross) are totally different from the photo and ruin the effect. I rearranged it and added a tiny bit of extra greenery, and it's acceptable if you don't get too close. I have artificial plants and trees; this is my first foray into an artificial flower arrangement. If the stalks looked like the picture, I think it would merit a four star review. Also not enough faux water. For the price, I recommend just buying a few inexpensive blooms at a craft store. It's not really worth returning, so I will keep this one and make it work.
