Due to long-term storage, there may be a smell reminiscent of an old house, like my grandmother's, and slight staining. However, as this is a NOT FOR SALE item, the quantity in circulation is likely small. Rather than for collection purposes, the quality is such that it's recommended for everyday use after washing, etc. This is a used item that has been handled by another person, so please purchase it only if you understand this. It will be shipped compressed, so please be aware of potential creases.
