The styrofoam was a pain. And the assembly entails putting newspaper around a cardboard tube so the styrofoam stays in place. It was hard trying not to get the styrofoam not to move. The end result is beautiful though. The vase and plant were taller than I expected; however, you can cut down the flowers. You can also use this as a floor vase.

I am in love with this Vase it is beautiful! It compliments my kitchen table and room so well. Assembly took me a while but it was worth it however you have to get a bottle to spray water on the flowers so they can bloom. I would highly recommend anyone to purchase this wonderful glossy Vase .

Little tough getting the styrofoam into the vase as well as placing some of the flowers etc. into the styrofoam. Make sure you cut a sharp edge. Overall it looks great. Was exactly what I pictured for the space.
