The dishes have been washed with dish soap. The rails do not have cushioning material. Please purchase at the listed price unless you are buying multiple items at once. I will refund shipping costs when you purchase other items at the same time and save on shipping. If you have any concerns, please send a message before purchasing. I am also selling other items. I would be happy if you would stop by. #Bulk #Bundle #Expansion #Set #Layout #Scenery
