Bought set for mom, she never used them. This has been well-cared for as it has been sitting on her shelf for the past several years. It is clean, looks new, has silver hardware, and the only part showing some signs of wear is the detachable long brown straps. These bases have magnets in them to attach to the different shells, a color for every outfit-which makes changing your outfit a breeze! If I recall correctly, this was a demo piece from a dealer, there are some dents underneath one of the strap connectors (see last pic). Typically the bases do not come with the hardware or straps unless you purchase them separately. More shells, parts, etc. can be purchased on michelives.com. Pet friendly home but kept in spare room in tub. Wood background is dining table, not the floor.
