I did not receive this for review. I bought it because I have been looking all over for these things, and they are super expensive in the stores around here! It arrived very fast, like in 3 days fast.The packaging was really nice. It comes in a plastic zipper pouch thing, and has a pretty tag on it with the company name. Everything looks professional and you can easily give this as a gift because of that.The string quality is good too. The macrame stitches are beautiful. It's very "boho" looking, so if that's your aesthetic, this will bring you joy for sure. The color is a little more cream colored than true bright white. It's off white, light cream. Which was fine with me, but just something to be aware of if you have stark white walls and want pure white to match that. I got this to hang in our guest bathroom. It's a little tiny bit shorter than I thought, but that's my fault for not measuring! It hangs perfectly, all the stitches are straight and it holds the pot just fine. Mine did not have any discernable scent to it. Definitely recommend this if you need some hanging plant holders for a great price! I definitely will be ordering some more of these.
