There is some fading due to UV exposure, but it's not noticeable when the light is on, so it doesn't affect use. You probably wouldn't notice it just looking at this item, but the discoloration is apparent compared to the original product! It's discounted accordingly, so please purchase if you understand. This is the annual clearance sale of display items for this time of year. Although it's a display item and new, it's not listed as unused. This item is originally priced at 25,000 yen, so it's a great deal. The common black ones are made of plastic, so they look cheap, but this product is made of real paulownia wood, so the actual item is beautiful and has a luxurious feel, making it highly recommended.
