I bought this as a present for someone, either birthday or Christmas but I have decided to keep for myself. I can't decide whether to put fruit, decorative rocks or potpourri in the bowl. Maybe I try each.

The bowl arrived in a very lightweight recycled cardboard box that had caved in at the bottom due to the weight of the bowl itself. Overstock repackaged the entire thing in a Home Depot heavy-duty box with lots of packing paper and styrofoam for safe shipping. This Home Depot box was huge - probably 30 inches tall, wide, etc. I had to wonder whether the shipment was correct! But I'm so glad they did this! I wasn't happy with the green mist painting in the background of the pretty "springtime" floral motif. I really wish I knew about that. The picture didn't clue me in one bit. Other than that, I bowl was received well as a Christmas gift for my parents, who are extremely hard to shop for. And Overstock shipped it to me on time! I can't say enough about that. I would recomment this bowl, with the caveat that one should know about that misty painting. It kind of makes the bowl look like it's dirty; almost like glasses that need a good wash. But for the price and circumstances, it worked.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The colorations were fairly true. Although there is a green mist painted background that made me wonder whether the bowl needed a wash. I think it would have been better without that "misty" painted background.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality of the bowl was consistent with the price. It is very heavy glass.
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? I wish I knew about that green mist before purchase. I probably would have chosen something else.
