Free: Wooden fire surround with stone inset and hearth (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 6d - Wooden fire surround, with internal dimensions 91cm (high) × 89cm (wide). Hearth stone is 132 × 50cm (width × depth). The cut-out formed by the stones sitting inside the surround is for a 405 × 560 mm (width × height) wood burner.

Free: 3-bulb ceiling light fitting (Dean Court OX2) 6d - White, good condition: in use till last week. We'll throw in the bulbs too, because we don't have any use for them.

Free: Tesco 60L Stainless Steel Recycling Pedal Bin (2 Sections) (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 6d - Fair condition: one of the lids has a crack, but it's still in good working order. In use till recently when we replaced it with a built-in bin.

Free: IKEA MYDAL solid pine bunk bed frame with 2 mattresses (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 6d - Solid pine bunk bed frame, good condition. The mattresses (with fire labels) have always been used with mattress protectors, which we're also giving away if you want them. Max. weight/sleeping level: 100 kg Bed length: 206 cm Bed width: 97 cm Height: 157 cm Free height under furniture: 20 cm Mattress length: 200 cm Mattress width: 90 cm Distance between beds: 91 cm Max. thickness, mattress: 19 cm We'll give preference to anyone who is able to collect today (5 May). Please make sure you have a large enough vehicle: the longest pieces are 200cm long. EDIT: I've added a photo of the dismantled pieces. The two slatted bases won't come apart without damage, so you'll need a clear 206 × 97cm space in your vehicle for them. Realistically, that probably means you need a van.

Free: Large white IKEA Billy bookcase (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 13d - In good condition: we've just replaced it with a different range. This bookcase is 80 × 28 × 202 cm, so you'll need a suitable vehicle for collection. It won't come apart without damage, so you'll need to collect in one piece.

Free: 2 Feliway Classic refills, and three diffuser plugs (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 20d - One of the plugs is a bit grubby, the other two are fine. All work. Expiry on the refills is 05/2023, but we've never had any problem using old ones!

Free: Floor-length, light brown Laura Ashley curtains (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 20d - Pair of light brown, pleated, floor-length Laura Ashley curtains, to fit curtain track around 270cm wide, approximately 215cm top to bottom. Good condition. Also: small matching Roman blind (same fabric).

Free: "Fusion" GU10 bulbs (5W, 3000K) (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 20d - Sold as dimmable, although we found they didn't dim with a solid-state dimmer. Certainly perfectly good if you don't want to dim them, and probably fine with most dimmers too!

Free: Wooden bookcase (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 20d - 95.5cm wide × 109.5cm high × 20.5cm deep. Very sturdy, has some interesting markings (see photo!).

Free: Narrow IKEA Billy bookcase (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 20d - In good condition: we've just replaced it with a different range. N.B. the photo shows stickers on the shelves, but the one we're giving away now is sticker-free! This bookcase is 40 × 28 × 202 cm, so you'll need a suitable vehicle for collection. It won't come apart without damage, so you'll need to collect in one piece.

Free: Lexmark CX417de multi-function colour laser printer (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 34d - We've replaced this because there's a problem with the (not economical to replace) fuser unit that produces a line of blobs down the page (a few cm apart) when you print in colour, but it's otherwise working well. All scanner features still function. Has Ethernet connectivity (note: no WiFi), USB, fax, double-sided print, double-sided scan with automatic document feeder. 470 x 444 x 558 mm

Free: Small wooden chest of drawers (3 drawers) (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 41d - Pretty good condition, with drawers all working well. Width 75cm, depth 43cm (including drawer knobs), height 56cm.

Free: Narrow IKEA Billy bookcase (white) (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 43d - Fairly good condition, but there's some floral tape on the front of some shelves that might be hard to remove (see photo). 40 × 28 × 202cm. You'll need a large vehicle to pick this up, because it doesn't come apart: please check the 202cm dimension!

Free: Two wide IKEA Billy bookcases (white) (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 43d - Fairly good condition, though the backs are slightly warped. This could be fixed by tacking them in place, if you don't mind fixing the shelf positions. 80 × 28 × 202cm. N.B. these won't come apart, so you'll need a large vehicle ‒ please check the 202cm dimension.

Free: Red KitchenAid blender (not working) (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 70d - Red, cosmetically in good condition, but there's something wrong with the coupling between the motor and the plate that spins on top of the base unit. Maybe repairable? Or useful if you have the same blender with a broken jug?

Free: IKEA Backabro double sofa bed with chaise longue (red) (Dean Court OX2) Withdrawn 71d - Comfortable, in full working order, and fairly good condition (although there's some light surface staining ‒ mostly water marks!). It's possible to buy replacement covers. Assembled size: 248 × 148 × 69cm You'll need a large vehicle to pick it up: probably a small van rather than a car. It'll partially disassemble (the chaise longue section can be removed), and you can see the instructions at We need to get rid of it this weekend, so we'll give priority to anyone who can collect quickly!

Free: Argos HOME Ladder desk (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 76d - Small ladder desk with two shelves, drawer and wooden sides. The instructions say it should be fixed to the wall, but you'll need your screws and plugs. Already assembled, and must be taken in one piece. Width: 65cm Depth: 40cm Height: 179.5cm

Free: Red 2-seater IKEA Ektorp Sofa (Dean Court OX2) Withdrawn 89d - We've had this for a good few years, but it hasn't been in regular use and it's still comfortable. The covers can be removed and are washable, and IKEA still sell new ones if you want to freshen it up. As far as I know It doesn't come apart, so you'll need a large enough vehicle for collection.

Free: 1080p 42" LCD TV: Panasonic TX-L42D26BA (Dean Court OX2) Gifted 90d - This had been left behind in our house when we moved in. We've rarely used it, but I believe all the features work. 4 HDMI inputs + SCART, component, USB, digital audio out. Has DVB-S and DVB-T receivers built in, and an ethernet connection too, but we've never used it ‒ suspect it's for some very early smart TV functionality! This doesn't come with a pedestal, but we're giving it away with the original wall-mounting kit (including screws) and remote.
