This item was purchased about 10 years ago and used for about 2 years, sometimes up to 5 days a week. There is some peeling of the metal hardware (see photo 3), stains (see photo 4), and overall signs of use. I tried not to place it directly on the ground or in the train, but there are some white scuffs on the bottom. Please understand and consider purchasing. Due to shipping costs, please refrain from negotiating a price reduction.
