Bought set for mom, she never used them. This has been in an individual plastic cover and then inside a Miche shell organizer. The pattern is matte black & gray squares in diagonal checkerboard pattern, with alternating black strips and trim all over. These shells have magnets in them to attach to the classic base, which makes changing your outfit a breeze! Pet friendly home but kept in spare room in tub. Wood background is dining table, not the floor.
