I've kept this item in storage since I purchased it, and I've hardly used it. There are no noticeable scratches or stains. While there are no issues with use, please be aware that there are slight indentations (as seen in photos 3 and 4) that were present from the time of purchase. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections or are seeking a completely flawless item, as this is a personal inspection. I will ship the item the same day if purchased in the morning. If purchased in the afternoon, I will ship it by the next day.
