Nearly Natural 4665 Mixed Mini Peony Centerpiece Silk Flower Arrangement,26" X 8.25" X 7"

Holy cow. What's all the complaining about with this product? I took a chance and ordered mine along with a bouquet of peonies in case I had to "fill in" as so many claimed to have to do. I searched 7 other web sites and found this item on each. The price went from a high of $68 down to the lowest above Amazon which was $48. I have bought silks for many years, all from top of the line companies. Yes this did have a few rubber pieces in the way of decoration, but they were not objectionable and would be easily removed. I only saw 3 of these small twig like things in the whole piece. I left them. I'm sure each piece is put together by hand, so no two pieces are ever going to be exactly the same due to difference in decoration pieces and the way they are placed as well as the exact placement of the flowers. All I can say is the one I got I would have paid the $68 with absolutely no problem. I did use on of the peonies at the far right of my arrangement. The berries at that end were not as thick as those shown in the photo. Did I really need to add the additional flower? No. I did it simply because I had it. I'm still thinking that I'm going to take the "filler" flower out. I'm using this on my 6.5 foot mantel and the size is perfect. Not too small, nor not overpowering. I couldn't have found a better piece if I had gone to a local store and had one custom made. If this was cheap looking or fake looking there's no way I would have put it in a +300,000 home. I am very proud of my home and want to be proud of what I put in it. After looking at the arrangement I got, I am proud of it. After looking at the one I was sent. I really don't know what a few people are complaining about. One reviewer said it wasn't worth more than $10. I don't know where she shops, but here in Florida most singe stems of silks are $6 and up--way up. I really do love this piece. Mine is beautiful.

It was better then expected. Love mine

very disappointed

No es muy grande pero está muy bien hecho y queda en la sala o recámara. Muy fácil de limpiar.

After reading some of the negative reviews for this piece, I was a little worried about ordering it, but I shouldn't have been. I am delighted, and to me it looks exactly how it does in the picture so I'm unsure why there have been some unfavorable reviews. At the end of the day they are faux flowers, and unless you spend a fortune on them they wont look real, but for less than £24, I think it's an absolute bargain, and from a distance they could pass for real. As for the comments about the vase, mine was fine and doesn't wobble or have air bubbles, but I do agree that the lack of 'water' is a bit of a give away, and just a little more would have made all the difference, but as the stems are plastic you could always carefully add some water to top it up if you wanted to. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend.
