This is a trivet for long-term storage. Personally, I find this type with a handle convenient. In my case, when I want to move the trivet immediately after placing a hot iron kettle, it's easy to hold. (However, please be careful of burns.) I'm using a slightly larger one, but the one I have also has a handle. This is just my personal opinion, for your reference. This was in the warehouse before I found it, and it was in a broken box. I believe it's unused, but perhaps because the box was damaged, there are some minor stains and small rust spots. I'm selling it without polishing it. Overall, I think it's in good condition, but please judge from the photos. Although it's old, I think you can still use it, and it will develop character and become more endearing as you use it. Why not give it a try? Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor scratches, stains, or scuffs due to home storage. Please purchase only after you are satisfied.
