It will serve its intended purpose.....to fill a portion of a living room corner......after the upcoming holidays.  At present, I plan to string clear LED lights on it, set it on a side table and "Voila', I will have a South Florida Christmas Tree".   It will become even more "looking" once I adjust the fronds (they were bent to fit inside shipping box).   As always, a great product, a great value and great shipping from Wayfair.....I wouldn't expect anything less !  The variant shades of green color depict older, newer and newly emerging fronds just like a real areca palm tree.  Nice natural fiber pot. Will make a great South Florida Christmas Tree.  The base of plant is stuck into a piece of SQUARE styrofoam so it doesn't fit tightly inside the ROUND pot.  Not enough peat moss included (you can see the block of white styrofoam).
