I purchased this new and used it a few times. There is some minor soiling. Please check photos 4 onwards. The following is a quote: A convenient stand for resting ladles, chopsticks, and pot lids while cooking. Useful for quick rests during cooking. You can stand small items other than ladles (cooking chopsticks, turners, spatulas, tongs, rice paddles, etc.) and pot lids/pan covers. The tray is removable and can be washed quickly. Also works as a recipe stand or tablet PC stand. It's also great for use at the table when you're having a hot pot.
