The harness itself turned out to be durable and attractive. My problem was the packaging. It looks like the box was wet and full of black dirt when I opened it. The outer shipping carton was damaged, so the product packaging must have been damp and damaged before being placed in the shipping carton. As it was a birthday present for my granddaughter I decided to keep the dishes to myself but I cleaned up a bit and had to repack the dishes so I could pack them. What a disgusting mess!
