These trees look very natural and arrived in mint condition. They branches were a little close together compared to the image but that is likely from the package and they will continue to open over time. A little fluff is all you need. I added them to planters (they come in a pot which is fine but I wanted a different look for where I was putting them) although the pot they come in is very sturdy and I didn't have any issues with it tipping over. Overall, a good purchase for the price.
