We needed something for the corner of our living room & after countless shopping trips I thought, "duh why don't we just go to Great Offer Stock.com?" Of course they had many beautiful things & this one caught our eye immediately. Was nervous when I saw it was bamboo only because I worried it may get damaged in shipping but I had nothing to worry about. It was packed extremely well & arrived in perfect condition. They included sand to weigh down the vase and the foam/twigs/grassy elements were super easy to assemble with the directions provided. The vase is a gorgeous deep red, glossy & gorgeous. It's the perfect addition to our living room & we get many compliments on it.
