I purchased this exactly one year ago. My son showed very little interest, so it has only been used about 2-3 times. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but due to the nature of the material, I believe dust and the like may easily adhere to it. Please understand that this is a used item. When shipping, I will pack it as compactly as possible, so it may be compressed. Also, this item was used by a baby, so please only purchase if you understand this.
