I ordered two of these beautiful trees, one for each corner of my dining area, and I must say they look rather elegant in the right space. I wish they were set about 6-8 inches taller, but I have propped them up in basket holders to give them extra height. So in the end, I was glad that they came without formal pot holders so that I could A. choose my own pot holder/add my own Spanish moss B. add height.
There was a branch on one of the trees that came "snapped" on arrival. Because I am placing these trees in the corner, I just decided to hide the broken-branched part of the tree by facing it to the wall. I'm assuming this had to do with wear and tear from shipping, and not a defect sent from the company. Upon arrival the tree was understandably scrunched up in a narrow tall box. When it comes out, it looks mangy. After fluffing it up a bit and playing with the branches - it perks right up. Aside from that, the trees are beautiful and I've had no problems.
They look very real I should add. I was at a craft store the other day looking at artificial trees and their trees looked scant, fake, and cheap in comparison to these trees. These trees are solid, and of high-quality and I would highly recommend them to anyone interested.
