I was skeptical of buying a fake plant online since, let's face it, most fake plants look fake. However, this one looks like the real deal. I needed a hanging plant for a corner in my family room and since my ceilings are 15 feet high I couldn't get a real plant because of watering, etc. Also, I have all real trees in that room so I needed something that looked real. This did the trick. It's a nice size and all in all, it just looks "rich". Very happy with it.
