I have been on the hunt for the best faux fiddle leaf fig tree on the market, and am sharing an honest review of the one I decided to buy from World Market! Come check it out below.
Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig trees are very popular home decor items and I don’t blame people for buying them! I love the look of Fiddle Leaf Trees, but I have been so hesitant to actually buy a real one!
First of all, I am not the best at keeping plants alive (except for my golden pothos plant–that thing never dies!), and the location I really want a tree in is in my living room, which does not have a bright sunny window.
If you are adventurous and want to try caring for a real one in your home, I found this site proflowers.com very informative!
But I have two little kids and another on the way, so I have decided to stalk the internet for images and sources for the best looking Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees. Before making any major purchase of anything, I always love reading reviews and staring at pictures to make sure it’s something I reeeaaallly want to buy. Faux trees aren’t cheap!
We all know that the stock photos companies post are sometimes misleading and online shopping can sometimes be stressful….no one likes having to return things!
So to help you out with your decision-making process, I am sharing a few faux fiddle leaf fig trees I considered buying and also sharing lots of pictures and close up shots of the one I ended up getting from World Market! Let’s take a look, shall we…

My top 3 faux fiddle leaf tree choices
#1. Pottery Barn
Pottery Barn offers two different sizes of Faux Fiddle Leaf Trees and is one of the more expensive options I found online. The small is 5 feet tall costing $199 and the medium size is 7 feet tall costing $299.
These faux trees look so beautiful but the price tag was a bit high for what I wanted to spend. I would love to have the 7-foot tree, but for $299…..eeek I couldn’t pay that price.
You can see how beautiful it looks in the home of Mackenzie from Design Darling.
They really do look realistic to me but I continued my search to see if I could find something a little cheaper. But definitely, a great option if it’s in your budget!
#2: QVC
I have heard so many different bloggers rave about this QVC Faux Fiddle Leaf Tree and have seen it in a few different homes online! And it honestly looks really good in my opinion. The price is also easier on the wallet, costing $58.50 + $5.50 for shipping and handling. This item comes and goes so you gotta snag it when you see it available!
Bloggers ChrislovesJulia bought theirs from QVC and had it in their old home. They really liked it and put blankets in the basket to cover the base. Below you can see how it looks!
The main reason I was hesitant about buying this one was due to the inconsistent reviews. Plus it is 5 ft tall and I was wanting something at least 6 ft tall for my living room. I may consider buying this one in the future just to see what all the fuss is about because you honestly cannot beat that price!
#3. World Market
And the winner was…..surprise, surprise! The World Market 6′ Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree.
I decided to pull the trigger on this one for a few reasons:
- Price. The price wasn’t too outrageous after using their Free Shipping Code and 20% off discount. The regular price is $179 but after the discounts, I got it for $149. World Market is always giving out discount codes and doing sales, so definitely keep a lookout for them to get the best price! Also, if you sign up to be on their Reward Members Program, you get access to special coupon codes (free to sign up).
- Reviews. The reviews were pretty solid. On their site, this tree has 224 reviews at a 4.7-star rating. I also have seen other bloggers rave about this tree and appeared to be a great quality option.
- Size & Style. I liked that it was 6 ft. tall because my ceilings are high and also that the leaves were higher up. Many 6 ft. Fiddle Leaf Trees were over $200 at least. I also have toddlers and didn’t want my kids pulling at the leaves.
Honest Review of World Market’s 6′ Faux Fiddle Leaf Tree
So would I recommend this tree? My short answer is YES. And here is why!
The tree arrived quickly and well packaged with no damage.
I really liked the overall look and quality of this faux fiddle tree. It has a nice thin trunk with realistic curves and notches. It is inside a small weighted pot, which you will need to put inside a basket to complete the look.
You will have to fluff the tree out a bit and flex the branches down to shape it to the overall look that you like. Adjusting the branches was very easy to do and not an issue at all.
Below is a more detailed look at the top of the tree. The trunk extends out into four different main branches and looks and feels very sturdy.
The leaves are also really nice! I like how realistic they look. The underside of the leaves is a bit lighter than the top and the top has a matte look with a bit of a sheen.
The trunk has a little curve and realistic looking texture and notches in them. I like how the trunk isn’t super straight, which would look fake to me. I also like the color, which is a nice gray-brown tone.
The base of the tree is in a small pot and is weighted. You will definitely need a cute basket to put it in, which you can get almost anywhere! Check out places like HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, World Market or Target.
And if you love wicker baskets as much as I do, I wrote a whole blog post on wicker baskets with my favorite sources, which you can check out HERE!

I do love a realistic looking faux plant. My green thumb never came in so I kill all the plants I buy. 🙁 Mostly because I forget to water them. All these are really amazing! Good read.
Yes! Having realistic faux plants totally saves you the stress of keeping a real plant alive. I am getting a little better with my real plants, but if I find a good faux one, I am all about it! Thank you for reading my post and commenting 🙂 Have a great day!
