This is an attractive product, but there were several condition issues out of the box.  The paint on the wooden planter box was chipped and scuffed in several places exposing the light colored wood underneath.  Happily, a black felt tip pen quickly rendered that problem unnoticeable.  Next, some of the fabric leaves were unnaturally bent at odd angles due to packing.  Hopefully, this problem can be corrected by ironing the leaves with some starch.  Lastly, a 1" section of the supporting metal pole inside of the plastic trunk is exposed on one side of the plant.  Obviously, that side of this palm tree will be facing the wall.  Overall, these issues are not insurmountable and I am willing to offer my qualified recommendation for this product.
