Free: 3- drawer wooden chest (Eastney PO4) Expired 300d - This is [I suspect] an ex- MOD chest of drawers for married quarters, it's quite old but still in one piece although the drawers stick when opening and closing, especially if you keep heavier things in it. It's been repainted a few years ago with wood- effect paint, and the knobs replaced. Would be ideal for in a store or garage, but could be cleaned up for in the house. I've been using it for spare cables, electricals lightbulbs, that sort of thing.

It connects to laptops via USB or WiFi, and to phones over WiFi.
