The item itself was in pretty good condition and sold at a good price, much cheaper than other listings. However, I must mention that the photo of the item did not accurately reflect its actual condition. The seller inadvertently used a filter that brightened the photo, hiding any flaws or rips. Nonetheless, the overall experience was positive. The packaging was nice, and the delivery took only 8 days. Although I am slightly disappointed with the item's condition, I would still recommend it.
