I purchased this item new and used it for a short period of time. I used a cover, so there are no major stains (see photo for one small stain). There were no accidents involving urine or vomit. I believe this is a beautiful item with no noticeable defects, but I would appreciate it if those who understand that this is a used item would consider purchasing it. I plan to wrap the item in bubble wrap and ship it in the plastic bag shown in the photos.
