Everyone loved my white tree!! It took some time to fluff it out & I received many scratches from the branches but worth it---I will wear gloves next time.  An item for improvement would be for the manufacturer to make all the metal parts of the hinges & etc. "White" so the metal isn't noticeable on the tree.  Also, you can't store the tree in the original box after fluffing it so must find another storage option.
