       3 . The base assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the damper connecting portion comprises: 
 a pair of supporting walls spaced away from each other to support lower both sides of the damper; and    hinge holes formed on the respective supporting walls.    
   
   
       4 . The base assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the base plate comprises at least one mounting portion on which the first damper supporting portion is selectively mounted.  
   
   
       5 . The base assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the mounting portion is provided along at least one corner of the base plate.  
   
   
       6 . The base assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the mounting portion comprises an aligning portion aligning the first damper supporting member.  
   
   
       7 . The base assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the aligning portion comprises at least one aligning projection extending upward to align the first damper supporting member.  
   
   
       8 . The base assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the first damper supporting member comprises at least one aligning groove corresponding to the aligning projection.  
   
   
       9 . The base assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one second damper supporting member integrally formed on the base plate.  
   
   
       10 . The base plate of  claim 9 , wherein the second damper supporting member is provided at least one corner of the base plate.  
   
   
       11 . A washing machine comprising: 
 a cabinet defining an outer appearance;    a tub provided in the cabinet to store washing water;    a drum rotatably provided in the tub to receive laundry; and    a base assembly provided on a lower portion of the cabinet,    wherein the base assembly comprises:    a base plate defining a bottom of the cabinet; and    at least one first damper supporting member detachably provided on the base plate to support the damper absorbing vibration of the tub.    
   
   
       12 . The base assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the first damper supporting member comprises: 
 a base coupling portion coupled to the base plate; and    a damper connecting portion provided on a top of the base coupling portion to support the damper.    
   
   
       13 . The base assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the damper connecting portion comprises: 
 a pair of supporting walls spaced away from each other to support lower both sides of the damper; and    hinge holes formed on the respective supporting walls.    
   
   
       14 . The base assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the base plate comprises at least one mounting portion on which the first damper supporting portion is selectively mounted.  
   
   
       15 . The base assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the mounting portion is provided along at least one corner of the base plate.  
   
   
       16 . The base assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the mounting portion comprises an aligning portion aligning the first damper supporting member.  
   
   
       17 . The base assembly of  claim 16 , wherein the aligning portion comprises at least one aligning projection extending upward to align the first damper supporting member.  
   
   
       18 . The base assembly of  claim 17 , wherein the first damper supporting member comprises at least one aligning groove corresponding to the aligning projection.  
   
   
       19 . The base assembly of  claim 11 , further comprising at least one second damper supporting member integrally formed on the base plate.  
   
   
       20 . The base plate of  claim 19 , wherein the second damper supporting member is provided at least one corner of the base plate.
