Not bad at all.  It's much bigger than I had anticipated and had a decent e enough "real" feel,  though up close its obviously not. The leaves are bendable,  which I like because it made it easy to "fluff out" , and the color is a very realistic green with brown.  The bottom is rather heavy weighted,  but I do feel that the pot is a bit small for the size of the plant which is why it keeps blowing over in the wind, but I think that if I just get a bigger pot to put it in that will solve the problem. All in all, I like it very much and could do with another one for my balcony as well as my patio.  Recommended.
