Used once and then stored. The chopsticks are unused and unopened. There are some scratches on the inside. Also, there are some white spots where water droplets dried and couldn't be wiped off, but it will be delivered as is. In photos 9 to 11, the gold parts look stained. The item will be shipped with tape on the original box in photo 8. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to imperfections or are looking for a new, like-new item.
