I've seen a very similar faux snake 'sansevieria' plant like these at a local furniture store and they wanted close to $290 just for one!This is a great buy, you get two in a package. They came in one box and were very securely packaged, the weight of the delivery box was 34 lbs. I still need to manipulate the individual stems a little to spread them out as they were tightly secured. Up close of course they are not going to look exactly as a real live plant, BUT, we're not going to be viewing these from sitting up close so to me these look amazing!
