Shower chair (Portobello EH15)
As can be seen from the photos, this is foldable whilst not in use. The height is adjustable and the back support can be dismounted. This chair has only been used twice, and shows no signs of wear & tear. Although it can be folded (and is folded) for transport, I would not recommend trying to take it on Lothian busses unless you are very fit or impervious to criticism, particularly from people with prams/pushchairs. Wheelchair users and other disabled travellers, on the other hand, will appreciate its significance and accommodate it as best they can.

Lampshades (Portobello EH15)
15cm diameter x 17cm high lampshades left by the previous owners of my property. The lampshades originated from B&Q in the not-too-distant past, as they have the adaptor ring for B22 (bayonet) bulbs which can be removed to fit E27 mountings. 42watt old style bulbs maximum!

Kitchen sink drying rack. (Portobello EH15)
Gifted

Oak Furniture Land single bed. (Portobello EH15)

Bed in unassembled condition as it came from my last house. Bought from Oak Furniture Land 2 years ago. It comes with a mattress that has been slept on by my cousin on 3 nights and I can supply both clean & new bed linen, coverlet, quilt, etc. All you need to do is put it together, which is not difficult. No photos, unfortunately.

"Under bed" table unit. (Dunblane FK15)

Bike rack (Dunblane FK15)
Gifted
Tow ball mounted Atera Genio Strada 2-bike rack. This was mounted on my car when I had a frontal accident, and the tightness of the grip on the tow bar seems to have been affected. If you apply a bit of force, it will move horizontally. As I will never use it again, I don't want to try to adjust it or get a replacement part. That's down to whoever uplifts it. It will transport safely whilst unladen. It comes with 2 keys to operate the 3 locks: one lock on the tow bar assembly, two on the "retainer bars". There is a loading ramp and a spare "kicker bar" used to tilt the rack to give access to the back of the vehicle.

24 inch "Smart" Android Television (Dunblane FK15)
Gifted
Except for the "optical" socket which has disappeared into the inside of the tv, this is a fully operating "smart" tv which can be powered by either 12 volt or 240 volt supply; the connectors you will get along with totally inadequate setup instructions. The tv does NOT come along with MY logins to Netflix, Prime Video or Google (YouTube). You'll have to arrange your own access to them.

Coffee/occasional table (Dunblane FK15)
Expired
This is a heavily-built coffee table in a light oak finish. It measures 75cm x 75 cm by 50cm high. (That's 2 foot 6 inches square by eighteen inches high in old money)! It is in perfect condition having only housed my stereo unit for the past 18 months, but I've upgraded the stereo so the table has to go. It could be dis-assembled for transportation, but this would best be done by the taker. I'm away as from the 11th afternoon, so don't delay! I could deliver the table in a partially unassembled state and re-assemble it, but the taker would have to manhandle the pieces at their end (I'm disabled) for me to assemble, and steps outside or inside are out of the question. Sorry.

Built-in DVD player. Damaged optic cable output, so that can't connect to a sound bar by that means. Otherwise it's in full working order, as is the remote. Please note this is NOT a "Smart" TV. You can watch all the Freeview channels & play DVDs, but it cannot connect to the internet for Netflix, etc.
