I bought this to fill out a corner in my apartment that used to be filled with a live, very fussy Fiddle Leaf Fig. That tree's not dead, but it's just ridiculous looking now, like most live Fiddle Leaf Figs eventually look like once out of a plant nursery for too long. This fake actually looks way better than expected. It looks quite real from far away, but even up close, even if you can tell it's fake,  it doesn't have that tacky look cheap fake trees have.
