The MDF is 18mm, and is veneered with a 3mm ply.
The tops have pieces about 60mm wide attached round the edge to hide the foam.
The fridge feet are some kind of "rubber"y material maybe 75mm circles and around 10mm thick with concentric ridges. I don't think they do too much but they are a further "soft" layer and i think the sound is better with them in.
The speakers are spiked to the top.
Inside the stands are... mmm what's the name... GatorFoam? Yes, In think that's it. There have been a few posts here about it. Its about 25mm thick and is without the veneer that sometimes is attached to the foam core.
I have also used these bases with mixtures of foams or with Vibropads.
If I don't glue the whole thing together (which might produce a better result) then it's very easy to swap things in and out.
I used to use similar basses under a sub and that rally cleaned up the sound.
I find this an easy and very reasonably priced method o isolating the speakers from the floor.
Any loss of quality due to the speaker not being fixed is miniscule by comparison; the effect of a speaker CONE trying to move the entire speaker is very very small.
The curved wall behind the system is very effective at breaking up sound reflections. Add in the ability to have the glass doors which are behind the camera and I get a pretty good sound without having to treat the room although I do sometimes get tempted, but the WAF keeps stopping me.
