What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The base is listed as 40.1L x 40W x 80H centimetres in product dimensions, while a feature claim describes it as 40 x 40 cm. The 40 x 40 cm figure is also described as preventing tipping, which is a listing claim rather than a verified outcome. The feature text claims a replaceable dangle toy, but the supplied included-components field is only “/”, so confirm the selected listing's package contents.
