My son used this for about six months when he was in the 6th grade, and I think it's in good condition. The zipper at the bottom of the bag opens to allow storage of a soccer ball, etc. (See photos 9 and 13). It doesn't seem to have been placed on the ground, and the bottom of the backpack, which tends to get dirty, is not scuffed or stained. (See photo 8). There are no major scratches or stains, but there is a slight damage to the fabric about 5 cm above the Puma mark. (See photos 10 and 11). However, it's only noticeable if you look closely from a distance of about a meter. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. There are no smokers or pets in the house. In my subjective opinion, there is no odor. We plan to fold it as small as possible for shipping, so please be aware of any wrinkles upon arrival. Thank you very much.
