Tobi-bako (Vaulting Box) - 4-Tier, Monotone It's moderately soft and not hard. I bought this as an introduction for toddlers who are scared of the vaulting box at gymnastics class. Thanks to this, they were able to try the educational vaulting box without hesitation and are now able to vault, so I am selling this one. No tears or stains. Please understand that this is a used item as it was used by a child. I will wrap it in bubble wrap for shipping. Thank you.
