I've checked everything, wiping it down with alcohol wipes. There are some scratches and minor imperfections from use, but it should be fine for playing with. The blue building block (left side of photo 4) has one noticeable scratch, but it probably won't be noticeable once they're all together. The outer box in photo 2 will be discarded, and the blocks will be shipped in a recycled cardboard box. This is a USED item and has been stored at home. Please understand the above before purchasing. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. Children, Baby, Kids Toys, Educational Toys, HABA Blocks, Building Blocks, Wooden Blocks
