I was a little wary about buying something like this online and then paying a lot of money to return it but it worked out in the end. The base works as described. The setup was very simple and fast. I view bases that look almost exactly like this one, locally and they had smaller remotes. I wish this one had a remote that was a little smaller. I wish the USB charging system was the repaid charging system that is used by all modern phones and tablets. The USB charger on this frame won't even charge my phone while I am using it.
