Fold-up bed/Guest bed (folded it's 88 x 85 x 62cm) (Gilmerton EH17)
A well loved but still good condition and clean fold-out/fold up bed and seater, now looking for a caring new home :) The base is a versatile wooden frame on metal legs, rolls smoothly and so it is easy to open and fold. I also have the seat-shaped black material that can go over it when it is folded up to keep it nicely together and present it as a comfortable seater (without arm rests). The cushioning/mat is easy to clean and is a medium gray colour. Its thickness is 10 cm, medium firm, no springs in it. Dimensions are as follows: overall height is 88 cm width is 85 cm folded-up depth 62 cm sitting surface is 60 x 85 cm opened to a bed its height is 40 cm like that its length is 172 cm (width is the same 85 cm). space under the seat is 29 cm height. + I have an office chair with wheels and arm rests matching in style so you are welcome to take that too if with the fold-up bed if you like it. Collection flexible (but Thursdays cannot do before 5.30pm). Other than a vehicle that is able to accommodate it, it doesn't require special transport arrangements. No stairs to climb but I cannot help with the lifting, can only cheer you on :) Thanks. Have a nice day

Curtains (Newhaven EH6)
Heavy lined curtains with triple pinch pleat headers to fit Victorian bay window. Neutral background with gold embroidery. Unfortunately the bottoms are soiled with cat urine and the dry cleaners have advised that they can't guarantee eliminating the smell so we'll need to replace them. However the tops are fine so they could be cut down to a drop of at least 2 metres.

Vibrating plate/machine (Leith EH6)
I am looking for a decent vibrating plate/machine for myself and my disabled son to help with, stiffness, inflammation, and poor mobility issues please. I would need to be able to collect it and bring it home on the bus or tram, so perhaps if it has a handle or large frame as part of it, that might need to be detachable and I can do that myself if needs be. If you do have one I would very much appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

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 8 or 9 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.

Extending Oak Dining Table (Duddingston EH15)
This table has had a life. We found it on a free site 11 years or so go. Unextended, the wood has a nice grain and polishes up reasonably, despite a fair amount of wear and tear marks. The legs also have some marks and scuffs. The original mouldings have been removed from the sides, as the table had to be trimmed. The edges were then stained to blend with the surface. The table has two extensions, which are darker, have a number of marks and cuts (see photo). There is a winder to wind out the table and insert one or both extension leaves. The winding has to be done very carefully for the table to be secure. Nonetheless we have had many happy times using the fully extended table. The table is on wheels. NB The chairs are not available. Maybe a good restoration Project? Dimensions: Unextended 126 x 86 cms Two extension leaves 43 cms each Extend to 169 and 212cms. 77 cms high. Pick up only. Will need 2 people. The table is now in our garage and a vehicle can be parked directly in front of the garage.
