I have stored this item away from direct sunlight. Please check the condition of the item in the photos. As this is a very old item, there is some discoloration. I have a pet, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Please also refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition, as this is a used item and has been stored for many years. I will reinforce the item with cardboard for shipping. #TenipuriFesta
