Beautiful, tasteful, and easy-to-care for addition to my home

The plant and stand (I got the black pot with dark walnut frame) are beautiful and set the right mood. And, as someone with a bit of a brown thumb, I love that the plant is not high maintenance. Even though my pot arrived damaged, the process for replacement was easy and quick. Thanks!
