I was absolutely stunned when I first saw this wallpaper. I didn't expect it to be as textured as it was, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised. The white part is raised a bit and has some depth, while the tree part is debossed. I got the gold version, so the trees are shiny gold amidst the beautiful white (also textured) background color. I was in awe of this paper on the wall; it was just so dang classy. A friend even said she loved the wallpaper so much, she was going to ask for some of it in the new house she was building! She and I both highly recommend!
