Futon (mattress and frame) (Bellevue EH7)
Futon mattress and frame, quite a few marks on the wood and a couple of rips on the underside of the mattress but very much usable. It’s possible to get a zipped cover for the mattress (I don’t have one) or cover it with a double sheet. When in sofa mode it’s 197cm long x 125cm deep x 75cm tall at its highest point. Will need a van to collect or you could possibly carry it if you’re really close and have enough people helping.

Large black sideboard / TV unit with plenty of cupboard storage. Still sturdy and very usable, but has some wear/damage. 180 cm wide × 42 cm deep × 74.5 cm high. The top has bowed slightly in the middle from having a TV on it, some of the cupboard doors sit a little unevenly, and the back panels are a bit loose/damaged in places.

Antique Reed Organ - needs restoring (Alnwickhill EH16)
Final call before this will unfortunately need to be disposed of. Late-1800s reed organ, built by John W. Reed of Hanover Street, Islington, London. Unlike other mass-produced reed organs, it appears that John Reed made only a few organs a year, working alongside his son. The organ is in poor-but-restorable condition. One of the straps on the right hand pedal has broken, however the bellows do fill using the left pedal and sounds come out. I hope someone might take it and restore it. Dimensions: Height - 130cm, Depth - 65cm, Width - 130cm. The organ is currently located in a rural property around 35 miles from Edinburgh. However I have a car and trailer and would be willing to assist with delivering in a reasonable distance for anyone seriously interested in the organ. Note that it is large and heavy! 14 Stops: Forte, Viola, Bourdon, Melodia, Diapason, Echo, Octave Coupler, Vox Humana, Octave Coupler, Dolce, Dulciana, Flute, Clarinette, Violetta

100cm x 79cm It's sturdy. There is are few minor spots of (new) white paint on the surface that can probably be scrubbed off. Collection details: collection will be from a 2nd floor flat (no lift). The desk is probably heavier than it looks.
