Ordered this for my daughters deck and she loved it! Very well made and you can't tell it's not real! She also loved the height of it. The first one was bent and we couldn't straighten it. Called Overstock and they immediately sent out another one. Great customer service.

Good Product

This seems to be a quality product. Only time will tell how well it will hold up outdoors. I only gave it four stars because the metal support rod running down the middle is visible and it would look better if it was hidden. However this did not keep me from buying 4 of them.

Beautiful! Great price! Realistic!

I do not have a green thumb and this outdoor plant fools everyone! Great height and great price! I have killed more plants costing much more than the $48 I spent on this plant! So realistic! I went back and bought another one!

Nice

I bought 2 of these for my son's new home. They were to be placed on either side of his front door.

Disappointed

I am sorry to say that I will be sending my trees back. I should have listened to the reviewers when they talked about a brown rod running through the plant. I am sure there is a way this rod can be hidden. The trees cost to much for me to have to go out and pay extra money to try and hide this hideous brown rod. I love overstock and will continuous to shop with OS. The trees are plastic which was okay, the height was prefect for my front porch. I just could not get pass this brown rod. If the rod was green I don't think it would have been so noticeable.

Do Not buy if you're using for an entrance item

I purchased this before Christmas, hoping to have a clean, simple entrance statement beside my front door on a small front porch. I was very disappointed in the size of the topiary, not deluxe at all for the money that i paid for it, all in all a big disappointment, heightened by the fact that the pot had a hole in it. Since I had received free shipping, I could not complain, and Home Depot was happy to order another, and they put priority on it so that I would not be inconvenienced. But the second one looked no better than the first. It is too small around for the money that it costs. unless you're Wanting a very narrow topiary for a really small pot, do not waste your money on this item. I wish that I hadn't, but now i am stuck with it.

Ok

Well...this is most obviously a fake when a person stands up close to it. Any tree made of plastic will be. I bought it for my patio b/c in the extreme Texas temperatures I can't keep any potted tree alive (that gets expensive). I planted flowers around it and am also trying to train an ivy to grow up it to give it some natural flair. Bottom line: It will stay green all year & from inside the house (it sits right outside the dining window) it looks real. My fiance thought it was real for the first week. He wondered when I'd had time to go to the nursery & I finally told him it was a fake. I saw this exact tree at a nearby high end garden shop for 280. Thanks Overstock!!!!

Nice but ...

The silk trees (two) were placed next to my front door on the outside but under a ceiling for protection. The trees look fine and seem to be sturdy. Like other reviewers, the only negative are gaps where the copper pole in the middle was overly visible. Indeed, when the sun hit the poles, the reflection was blinding. To compensate, I went to the hobby store and purchased some moss for a couple of dollars. I looped the moss where the pole was exposed and it did the trick. Thus with a little ingenuity, the trees make a fine entry statement.

Sturdy, looks real from about 6 ft away

Overall I was pleased with the 2 topiary trees I purchased. Like other reviewers have mentioned, you can see the metal rod going up through the center when you are up close and look at the tree from eye level. If you are taller than 5.5 ft tall and you look down at the topiary from a superior angle, the metal pole does not show. For the convenience of not having to trim real topiary trees, I'll gladly accept the metal rod showing in certain situations. These artificial topiaries look like they'll outlast many similar products out there. The pots are very light weight and you will want to re-pot these topiaries in slightly larger containers with gravel and/or cement to keep them from falling over.

Big Disappointment

First it is not silk, it is cheep junk plastic. Second, it has a metal pole down its center that is clearly visible. Yuck. What a big waste of money. You can buy much more for much less elsewhere. Its width and flimsy construction makes it overall very small and wimpy looking and it doesn't even come with a pot. If it weren't so much cost to return, I would do just that. Maybe keeping someone else from making the same mistake will take the edge off a huge mistake.

Worth the money

I was apprehensive because these are at the upper threshold of my budget. I bought two for my condo balcony. I didn't want to mess with anything I would have to water and risk overflowing onto the patio of my downstairs neighbor so these were the perfect option. I ordered 2 solar lighted urns from another online merchant (thankfully they were on clearance sale for 50% off) and the urns arrived the same day as the trees. I placed the pots inside the urns and filled in the extra space with white marble chips. The balcony catches some wind from time to time so I anchored them with wire ties from the metal rod to the white deck railing. They look amazing! The urns provided some additional height and the trees are slender enough they don't take up too much space. Because they are so slender the solar uplighting is really perfect. Having them to "anchor" the outside corners of the balcony actually makes it look larger. Thanks, Overstock!
