In one review, a shopper said: “Like others, we decided to place two of these faux trees outside our porch. They look absolutely stunning, and I’m tempted to buy a few more.” A second put: “Great product! I have placed this outside my front door in a black pot with white stones. Looks really nice and inviting. My mother-in-law thought it was a real bay tree from a picture I sent. So happy with my purchase.”
Someone else said: “The plant looks beautiful outside my front door, I have put it in another pot and weighed it down with soil and pebbles otherwise the wind may blow it over.” Another wrote: “These trees look great and pleased with price, to stop them blowing over we planted in bigger pots with some decorative pebbles, everyone says they look great and so pleased with them.”
However, some people weren’t impressed by ther weight of the trees. One said: “Lovely artificial trees that look very realistic. Good quality. Bought as a gift, which the recipient loved. Only drawback is that the pots are small and light so the trees can easily blow over in a strong breeze but we remedied this by putting in a larger planter with stones.”
Another put: “Disappointed – after reading other reviews I had high hopes for these but they just look very plasticky.” Someone else said: “These fall over with the slightest breeze! The stones, when wet also show all the glue which makes them turn white.”
However, most reviews were positive. Another customer said: “Love these bay trees. Bought first in the shop then ordered two more which came next day delivery. Look really authentic and have been greatly admired by friends.”
Another wrote: “Really pleased with this product. It is really realistic looking and looks lovely at my front door.” One more said: “Extremely happy with my purchase of two bay trees, these will look lovely outside of my new front door.”
