Vases are very organic, have a great fresh woodsy scent, but they are a little on the small side for the price, especially the smaller of the two. So basically the larger one makes for a small floor vase but the shorter one is far too narrow to be placed on the floor, it lacks presence there, looks ok on a mantle or higher tabletop application. Also the banding around these vases is uneven in that it just ends without being tucked in or anything so if that is an important feature perhaps consider something else.
