Looks really great, but I can not recapture the look of the picture. I am not creative though, so I blame it on me. You have to tape the leaves to sticks to give them height. Be careful, my hands were purple and red when I was done from the leaves.

It wasn't as easy to put together as I had hoped, but it was worth the effort. If you want a lovely floor vase that is subtle, then this is the one.

I really like the Bamboo vase when I saw it on Overstock.com website!!!!!. But, when I received it I was shocked to find out even with the directions I could not make the arrangements look like the one presented to me on the website. In other words, I was disappointed and now will have to take the vase and stems to a florist to arrange it like the one on the insert package and pay out additional monies. I wish I knew a interior decorator?

This piece is nice once you get it assembled but the instructions and the method of assembly is confusing. Its smaller than I thought also. I ended up putting it together using tape and a logical method of my own. Nice but I wouldn't highly recommend this one.
