Nearly Natural 4689 Mini Peony Silk Arrangement,Assorted 10 x 10 x 10

Why The Negative Reviews?????
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.

Made My Own Larger Centerpiece
It’s not the best quality or the most realistic faux flowers you’ll find, but I purchased these on sale and that made them more worth it.I didn’t particularly like how they looked in the glasses they came in. The “water” at the bottom was way too little and had discoloration in the gel where the bottom of the stems were implemented in. Every glass was different, with either some imperfections with bubbles on the sides or the bottom of the vase would be slightly uneven and wouldn’t sit completely flat. I bought a few of these and only one didn’t teeter. I was also a little disappointed with how easily the leaves would fall if if you tried to maneuver it. You can pop it back on, but I wish they weren’t so easily removable. I ended up not being a fan of the arrangement so I manually took them all out.I gathered all the flowers and created my own large arrangement for my rectangular planter. As someone who has anything but a green thumb, these faux flowers helped me achieve the look I wanted for my table.I removed all the orange flowers because they looked fake to me and didn’t go with the color scheme I wanted. I cut off the outer green “shell” of leaves on all the pink flowers because I feel like it looked more real and better without them. After about an hour of snipping and adjusting, I eventually got the faux arrangement I wanted for the tabletop planter. From a distance, it looks real and fooled some people. If you’re looking up close, you can tell they’re fake. However, I don’t want to kill any more live flowers with my black thumb.

Cheap
I think it’s hit or miss if you get a piece that’s well done or not. The one I received was poorly put together. The flowers are cheap quality to begin with, compared to what I could have put together myself at a craft store. The berries in mine aren’t like the ones in the picture and like I see in other reviews – the berries are sparse and aren’t even tall enough to be seen. The flowers are flimsy, not full. They were also smushed into the box, so they are folded and flattened and won’t smooth out. Also the hydrangea flowers are extremely cheap and weird looking. I’m going to try to order again and see if I get lucky a second time. If not I will make my own. I really liked the colors.

Natural Look
I wasn’t that impressed with this arrangement. It’s pretty but it’s a bit too faux. There was not enough clear acrylic in the bottom of the glass vase to balance the arrangement well. This made it unstable, top heavy and easy to fall over. The arrangement would look more realistic if the vase were filled at least 1/4 to the top with clear acrylic. I ordered the 24-long-stem rose arrangement in the past from the same company and was very pleased. It is beautiful, so I was disappointed when this one didn’t meet up to my expectations.

It was better then expected. Love mine

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

Não gostei do tamanho , muito pequeno pelo preço.Mais gostei das cores e do material das peônias.
