I used this once as a parasol and have stored it in a place away from sunlight since then. Instant purchase is OK. Price negotiation is OK. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous about the item being stored by me. I will discount 100 yen for each additional item purchased at the same time! If you would like to purchase multiple items, please leave a comment. About shipping: - I cannot be held responsible for any accidents during shipping. Thank you for your understanding.
