I love it. Its as described and did take a long time to fluff in order to look more tree-like. The trick for me was to bend back two branches amd wrap them to cover the rods holding them in place, then bend addl branches backward to fill open spaces. I noted some photos of other trees posted primarily bent them in directions of a real tree (up, down and sideways). I got exactly what I expected-a fake plastic white decoration suggestive of a tree.
