It's a beautiful high quality bag. All the details really went the extra mile. It's nice and stiff, the hardware is quality and all had protective coverings, the inside is also exceptional with 2 pockets. In terms of how much like a real birkin it is, I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. Setting it next to my mom's real one and comparing it there's no contest obviously. This is however the closest match you can find. I wanted this bag because I'm not crazy about the 20k investment for a bag I'm scared I won't love or won't fit my lifestyle. I decided if I love the functionality of this one and don't get sick of it over the next few years then I'll invest in the real deal. This bag will stand the test of time, and alone is high quality and very cute. They really went the extra mile with the details and I would expect it to be much more expensive. If you're thinking about it, do it.
