I only used this item one day on the weekend. When not in use, I stored it with a cushion inside to prevent it from losing its shape, and wrapped it in non-woven fabric. However, I don't remember how many years ago I purchased it. As shown in the sixth photo, due to the material of the item, what appears to be a scratch or stain is visible only when light hits it. It's barely noticeable, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. There is slight fraying on the edge of the POTER logo in the ninth photo. Photos 7 and 8 are from the official photos.
