I believe this was purchased from Amazon and stored immediately after purchase. The legs are foldable. It can be leaned against something and used. You can place hot pots and pans on it. It's stable. This is a used item, so I don't think there are any noticeable scratches, but everyone's perception is different, so please understand that there may be some minor scratches or dirt. 3-burner stove cover Kitchen Kitchen Goods
