Purchased about 7-8 years ago, used 1-2 times a year. Although the color has faded, there are no noticeable scratches or stains. I've stored it carefully in a chest, so I feel the resilience might be slightly lacking. If you don't mind minor imperfections, please consider purchasing. *My signature is clearly written on the heel. I would be incredibly happy if someone who would use it without erasing it would buy it.
