Double bed frame (Morningside/Comiston EH10)
Promised
Solid wood double bed frame from Get Laid Beds. Like their current ‘Tokyo’ bed. The bed platform is lower to the ground than usual beds so good for younger kids or low headroom spaces. 10 years old but still excellent - no creaks or damaged slats etc. Incredibly sturdy. Some cosmetic scuffing to outside of one bedpost. Should disassemble for transport and we’re happy to try. Will leave as is for now in case you can take it as it is.

Car tyre inflator/compressor (Comiston EH10)
Does anyone have a spare car tyre inflator. Specifically one that plugs into the "cigarette lighter" and has a pressure guage. I beleieve quite a lot of cars come with them these days, so I wondered if anyone had an old/unused one lying around. Asking for a friend with a slow puncture/dodgy valve on their car.

Boxes of used books (Leith EH6)
I have a load of used fiction books, a mix of thrillers and historical/romance titles mostly. They are all ex-charity shop books and vary in condition from clearly used to pretty good - nothing is falling apart. I have 3 boxes (the medium size with an A4 footprint) and ideally would like them all to go at once. They would suit you if you collect for a charity shop, or a jumble sale or something like that - they are £1 a piece level of books. Pick up from Leith 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday - they are in a workplace. There is parking right outside.

This cooker is working (except for internal oven light). It needs a qualified gas technician to connect it to the mains. It will be disconnected and available next Monday, 15 June.

Ikea kitchen wall cupboards (4) (Craigleith EH4)
These Ikea wall cupboards are more than 20 years old, but structurally sound. A bit of wear in places e.g. behind handle. Wondered if they might be useful for a workshop/allotment building. The dimensions (standard in their days, I don’t know if that has changed): Three of them are 70 cm high, 37 cm deep, 40 cm wide with a door. One is open, and slightly wider: 60 cm. The three together had mains operated fluorescent tubes underneath, still working although the plastic fixings a bit brittle - you can have these too if you like (see photo). These will be taken down next Monday, 15 June - available from then (unless you want to take them off the wall yourself).
