Stored in a transparent bag in a dark place. This is an unused item. However, as it is a machine-produced item, there may be fine scratches. Also, as it has been stored at home, there may be some age-related deterioration. Please understand this before purchasing. I have a cat at home. I will clean it carefully before shipping, but cat hair may be included. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. It will be shipped in simple packaging.
