The Best-Reviewed Product At Crate & Barrel

Many home décor lovers agree that Crate & Barrel's products are appealing to shoppers. The company was founded with the desire to combine tasteful designs with practicality, per Crate & Barrel. A quick look at the website proves this to be true, as each piece is crafted to be simple, clean, and modern. 

Another pro to purchasing pieces from Crate & Barrel is the website's "View in My Room" augmented reality feature. This design tool allows you to see the product in your room before purchasing it, arguably a plus for decorators. When you click on the button in the bottom right corner of the product's image, it will bring you to a QR code. Once scanned, the product will come to life in your space.

Crate & Barrel has a wide variety items to choose from in categories such as furniture, kitchen, rugs, and lighting. They also have a healthy selection of décor pieces. One of these décor items is highly rated, with 4.4 stars from over 200 reviews. 

While there are many popular pieces on Crate & Barrel's website, one stands out from the rest: the Faux Olive Tree. This product is described as a lifelike faux plant that will add a Mediterranean flare to any room.

Many opt for faux plants to avoid the upkeep of real ones — no watering, trimming, or sunlight required. Also, since many fake plants look realistic, choosing faux over real may be the right move. When purchasing a fake plant, HGTV says there are four things you'll want to keep in mind: Your plant should have a realistic stem and branches, imperfect leaves, a beautiful pot, and realistic looking dirt.

Because Crate & Barrel's olive tree doesn't come with a pot (just a plastic black container), this plant's home is totally customizable. For the other three items, the reviews are mixed, but most agree that Crate & Barrel's olive tree is pretty realistic looking. One reviewer said that "the fake plant looks real –- for real and I have no regrets, especially since the compliments keep rolling in."

This faux tree comes in three sizes: just under 2 feet, 5 feet, and 7 feet tall. It ranges in price from about $50 to just under $400. If you're looking to purchase, you could try your luck at a Crate & Barrel sale, or you could sign up for the reward program. If your purchase is over $99, you'll also qualify for free shipping.
