I ordered 5 units of this faux palm trees, 1 for our entryway and 4 for our formal living room. When these faux plants arrived the leaves were all slightly crinkled, but I found a great solution to that problem, I used a steam press and steamed each branch of Palm leaves. Not only did the steam press beautifully removed the crinkles on the leaves but it created a more natural looking, realistic effect on the leaves. Once all the leaves were steamed and spread and arranged, the faux palm trees look so real that my husband was very impressed and was very happy with these purchases. I highly recommend this item.
