For the price, it is a good plant. Does it look 100% real? With a close up examination, no. There a globs of glue on the stem and a bit of a shine to the leaves. BUT, on my porch with normal viewing, they look pretty. Not one neighbor has asked about my "fake plants". They have commented how nice the front porch looks. You do need to put it in a nicer pot. I bought one a bit bigger and placed it inside. I filled the gap between pots with landscape rocks to keep it stable.
