I bought this at Toys "R" Us a few years ago and used it for about six months. After that, I stored it in a dark place. The string has curly marks when stretched. Please check the product condition, pilling, and fading in the images. Please consider before purchasing if you are sensitive to items stored at home. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. I will ship it in simple packaging. Type: Hip seat Pattern/Design: Solid
