Free: sturdy wooden tv corner stand/unit (Portsmouth PO1) Gifted - I recently had my TV fixed to the wall and no longer need this stand which was used in a corner. The middle shelf has glass doors and has plenty of room for a Router, Recorder, etc. and as it has no back makes wiring very accessible . The side shelves are useful for DVDs, CDs, etc. or ornaments. The middle photo shows some scatches which have always been covered by my TV set. Collection only from Fratton - please state when to suit you. There is usually room for parking in front and round back of building. Sorry, but I am unable to help with removal.
