Although several years have passed since the purchase, it has been stored in a closet. I stopped using it shortly after using it for a few days, so there is no lingering odor. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but please understand that it is not new, so there may be some minor scratches. It doesn't require special cartridges and uses garbage bags, so it's cost-effective. The simple design also blends well with any room. No box or instruction manual. It will be shipped with simple packaging wrapped in bubble wrap. Shipping costs will apply, so if you are in the Himeji city area of Hyogo Prefecture and can do a direct transaction, I will discount the shipping cost. I am also selling many other children's items and baby preparation items.
