I recently got the idea of getting gold dipped roses, and decided to try this one as one of the more expensive ones with a high rating (wish I had noted it only had one review). When it arrived, I excitedly opened it in front of my husband, son, and mother. The words that popped out of my son's mouth expressed my horrified reaction- "Mom, that's just ugly, you wasted your money". All of us, three generations, agreed. The gold dipped edges were the worst- they looked like a young child who couldn't follow a line did them. Even the rose head itself didn't look preserved well, with odd dimples presumably from varnish. To give it credit, I thought maybe this is the way they look. So I tried ordering two more cheaper ones from different vendors. Despite being almost half the prices, those ones were absolutely stunning! (I've included three pics of this product, and one of those two for comparison.) As a result, I can only conclude that this product is just poorly done. What's worse, I almost gave up on the idea because of how bad it looks- so glad I didn't. In summary, I don’t recommend this product at all, and suggest you try others like Mr Pro or ZJChao (the two others I tried in photos). This one is just an utter waste of money.
