It's possible that the item will be disassembled (in its pre-assembled state) for shipping. The color is blue, not ivory or brown. I can't offer a significant discount due to shipping costs, but I'm open to price negotiations. I'm selling this because I already have another one. There are scratches if you look closely, but they're not very noticeable and don't affect use. Thank you for looking! I strive to ensure a smooth transaction for both parties. I have a dog, and there are no smokers in the house. Feel free to like the item. Instant purchase and late-night/silent purchase are welcome. All items are stored at home and include shipping.
