I used this under a hamster cage for one winter. Since this item is used outside the cage, there are no noticeable scratches, but there is a feeling of use. Please check the condition in the photos. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. Please purchase only if you understand that this has been stored at home after use. Please check the condition again before use. Please note that if the set item is purchased first, this listing may be stopped. Thank you for viewing.
