Arrived timely, box was not sealed, but no damage. They arrived in cheesey basket and cheap rope. I had iron type hanging basket, so just cut the rope and tied each side to my hanging basket. I also kept it in the original basket that it came with. Looks Fabulous nice and full and got some length to each branch. They look real!!! No more worrying about watering. Looks great hanging on my front covered porch. I would buy again.
