The photo is a good photo of how ILace looks. That's not to say that the piece is 3 years old. The photo was taken when the unit was new. It will not last 3 years although it will typically last longer than a Super Fine Swiss lace unit or a French lace unit. The reason is that the is secured firmly between the two layers of lace. Due to the 2 layers of lace it is a bit more firm than a lace unit but as I mentioned above you can put on a lace front at no extra cost. We sell a lot of ILace units---people like to experiment and try different bases.
