I used this a few times when my children were small! It looks clean at first glance, but there are some scratches since it was used by small children. I seem to have thrown away the string, and I can't find it at the moment (>_<) Please check the photos and ask any questions you may have before purchasing if you are concerned. Please understand that this is a used item that children have used, and refrain from purchasing if you are nervous, seek perfection, or have any concerns. I will do my best to send it in a clean condition, but I have pets, so there may be some hair attached. Thank you for your understanding. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it in simple packaging m(_ _)m As it is a self-inspection, there may be slight stains or dirt that I have overlooked. The price reflects this possibility, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about any dirt or minor scratches m(_ _)m
