Purchased over 10 years ago, used once and then stored. The size is shown in the photos with a ruler, so please refer to them. There is no noticeable fading or stains, but please understand that this item has been stored at home before purchasing. Also, it was stored with incense for insect repellent, so it has a scent. When shipping, I plan to wrap it in cushioning material and ship it via Takkyubin Compact.
