I've stored this after using it for about 3 years. I've kept it covered for several years and it hasn't been exposed to rain or wind. As shown in image 1, there is some blackening on the surface. The stitching around the edges is intact. The base color is light blue with purple lines. I am an individual seller, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. If you would like to know more, please leave a comment.
