Ok, so listen, is it going to be perfect right out of the box? No! Of course not, it's plastic and has been smooshed in shipping. Granted I don't have anything to compare it to but I am super stoked with what I bought. Here's why : First off, if you have a specific area you are trying to cover it's frustrating to try to figure out exactly what square foot you need but also streamline that with the size of each panel (yes they are able to be cut but realistically we would like the project to fit those dimensions). This listing takes the guess work out, which I won't lie, I very much appreciated. I knew what square footage I needed to cover and their chart showed how many sets you would need. A++ Also, I know none of us are looking for some stellar thing that looks convincingly real thing here. I am more than pleased with the coverage this provides. I haven't hung it yet but will update. But from what I gather even in the process of connecting them together I am very impressed by how dense it is. That being said, it comes squished. Duh. Rake your fingers through first and that settles a lot of bald spots. In packing and shipping the little leaves get tucked up under each other. A little fluff and good as new. Even the one or two tufts of plant that came unhooked from it's spot, were easy to identify and remedy. I have nothing to compare it to, but I expected a lot less from a product like this and I am VERY HAPPY AND SURPRISED.
