I purchased this for my older child's entrance ceremony and stored it, using it again for my younger child's entrance ceremony. There are no particular stains, but there is some fuzzing. Personally, it's not something I'm concerned about. The velvet part tends to attract lint, so it's fuzzy, but I think it's still usable. I plan to compress it tightly and ship it via post. *Please note that the color may differ slightly from the actual color due to lighting. I have inspected the item, but there may be oversights regarding stains, fraying, etc. Please understand. There may be fold wrinkles that are more noticeable than in the photos. As this is an item used by a baby, I ask that you only purchase if you understand. Please refrain from cancellations, returns, or complaints after purchase. Please read the photos and description and purchase only if you are satisfied. I have included information about transactions and those who I may not be able to transact with in my profile. It's a bit long, but please take a look if you'd like. Thank you very much.
