Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was a bit hesitant in buying a silk tree online, but after being very disappointed with what I found locally, I decided to go ahead and try this one. I am so happy that I did! It is an excellent tree, especially for the price! The tree comes in a long box with the tree wrapped in plastic. The base is a small pot filed with concrete to hold the tree. The tree is still rather top-heavy and falls easily. This can be improved when you put it in a decorative pot. Even though the pot it comes in is not decorative, they still have green moss on the top. The moss is not very well attached and ends up all over the box and tree during shipping. Personally, I don't like the moss so I just threw mine out. The top of the plant is folded over to allow the tree to fit in the box. The branches have wire inside making it easy to straighten and fluff them to get the look you want. The very tips of the beaches are just plastic so they can be folded over from the packaging, but it looks good once you shape the branch. Some of the leaves are folded over, but that's to be expected. There are enough leaves to make it so no one folded leaf is noticeable. One other thing I like about this tree is how they finished the ends of the main trunks. Most silk trees simply leave a blunt cut. Some try to glue moss to hide the blunt cut. This tree has wood filler of some kind to try to taper the end. It's not perfect, but it's better than what I normally see. Unfortunately, the wood filler end fell off of one of my branches, but it still looks good without it. I put my tree in a corner, directly in front of a tall light fixture. It's there to hide the light fixture and to filter the light somewhat. I really love the effect. I've taken pictures with the lights on and off so you can see what it looks like. Overall, this is an excellent tree! It ships in one piece and is very easily fluffed into a nice shape. The price is excellent for what you get. The size is perfect for most regular size rooms. I very highly recommend this tree! Have fun fixing it up with a decorative pot!
