I believe it's been used about 5 or 6 times. Since it hasn't been used much, there are no noticeable scratches or stains, but there are slight creases from storage on the handle, the surface, and the shoulder strap. It shouldn't bother you too much when using it, and I think it will soften with use, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Please note that I may have overlooked something due to my amateur inspection. Please purchase only if you understand that this is a used item. A storage bag is also included.
