Used only once at a wedding. It has been stored in a warehouse for about two and a half years, so there are some stains and scratches. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as there may be overlooked scratches or stains. Made of Japanese cypress (hinoki), but it is not painted, so please be aware that it cannot store water for a long period. Also, if you would like actual photos, please comment. No claims and no returns accepted.
