You can purchase this item immediately. It was stored at my parents' house. The storage period is unknown, so I've marked it as "Like new." It was a gift, and it came with a kitchen cloth. I only used the cloth, and the other items were left in the box (photo 7 shows the hanging plastic, and photo 8 is the lid of the box). I will fold it compactly and put it in a plastic bag for shipping. The box and plastic will not be included. Thank you. #Roberta di Camerino
