Used in the back seat of a car. There are no particular stains, but there is some pilling. It has been washed. No one has ever ridden in it with shoes on. It will brighten up the entrance or the car, and I think the children will be happy. It's been about a year and a half since I bought it. I think it's still beautiful, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned as it is a used item. The item is exactly as shown in the photos. I hope you will consider it.
