Uniqlo UNIQLO Winnie the Pooh Cushion Plush Toy Pooh There are no noticeable scratches or stains. (When I bought it, it was during the COVID-19 pandemic, so I washed it once in a net with a gentle cycle to prevent viruses, so there may be a slight unevenness in the filling.) I basically just displayed it, and then stored it in a dark place. Regarding shipping It will be shipped compressed. Thank you for looking.
