One pocket on the outside. There are no noticeable stains or scratches, but please check the images. Please note that there may be oversight of scratches or scuffs as it is a layman's inspection. The refreshing vertical stripe pattern is beautiful. I am selling it because I no longer use it. There are no smokers or pets. I will fold it and ship it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous as it is stored by a private individual.
