The door stopper is constructed from a environmentally friendly PVC rubber material. It is then designed intricately to look like the fruit, complete with small markings and light bruises to look as realistic as possible. Branding details make its way onto the piece at the crown of the banana. The tail end is flattened down to slide beneath the door and in terms of the measurement, it is about 17cm in length. This is done on purpose to measure as closely to a real banana as possible.
