I purchased this item immediately upon its release and have only used it indoors as a storage shelf. I believe it's in beautiful condition as I've hardly moved it since setting it up. However, while taking photos, I noticed a scratch in the area where you put your fingers to fold the container, as shown in the picture. It's possible it was there from the beginning, but please consider this when making your decision. The stand was purchased from Karma Store, and I've used it once at a campsite with a container of a different color. There are some signs of use on the contact surface, but I don't think it's anything to be concerned about. Nerudesign Works Karma Store Flip Box
