It's difficult to find fake plants that don't look like plastic, but this one is very pretty, made of silk and easy to arrange to the fullness shown in the photo. The leaf clumps rotate around the trunk and each leaf can be arranged up or down to accommodate the space. I like that it came in a smaller pot which I am able to fit inside a larger pot I preferred to use. I'd looked at some of the home stores, and many of the plants this size were already cemented into huge pots, not of my choosing. I just put some rocks around the bottom for stability in mine, and then covered the rest with dried Spanish moss from the craft store. Some of the shorter plants had thicker trunks, but I needed the height for this, so thinner trunks was the compromise, but it looks really good, as shown in the website photo, once out of the box and arranged. Price is also great for a plant this size.
