Triple Mirror - ideal to split? (Wetherby LS22)
Gifted
95d
- This triple mirror was left in the house we've moved into and is surplus to our requirements. The middle mirror tilts but currently does not stay in a sensible position - it is most likely mendable. The right-hand smaller mirror does have a crack in the mirror, and some damage on the top of the frame. It is still usable as is, or perhaps the mirrors could be separated and used individually? This is offered for collection only.

1920/30s Display/Cocktail cabinet (Tadcaster LS24)
Gifted
177d
- 1920s Display/Cocktail cabinet: W 48”(122cm) x H 48”(122cm) x D 15”(38cm) Both side cupboards have glass doors, sides, shelves. Photos show a few items in the cupboards/shelves just to give an idea of shelf height, and space available. There is some damage to parts of the veneer but overall, for it's age, it's in good condition. It will need to be moved by 2 or more fairly strong folk, transported in a van. NB: the locks don't work, the keys simply facilitate opening of the doors.

Electric Sewing Machine (Tadcaster LS24)
Received
192d
- Hi, bit of a long shot - does anyone have a working electric sewing machine they no longer use and would be willing to give away? I have several sewing projects in mind but I'm quite a sewing-novice so I'm unsure whether it'll be worth my while buying a machine in case I botch the tasks I'm planning! My sewing experience amounts to an unfinished skirt and waistcoat project we were tasked with at school (too many years ago to think about too much!), and occasional use of my Mum's old machine which my sister now has and it's proving tricky trying to borrow that/get it back to her as we live some distance from each other! Thanks in anticipation😊

Wall Unit/Dresser (Tadcaster LS24)
Expired
1y
- Dark wood wall unit/dresser. Approx size: W 64" (163cm)x x H 70" (177cm) x D 19" (48cm). We got this from Freegle 2 years ago, one drawer handle was already broken off but the drawer still opens easily. It is a good, solid piece of furniture but, as we're downsizing, is no longer suitable for our requirements. It will need at least 2 strong people to move it and would need to be transported in a van. The top and bottom do separate though, top section approx 45" (114cm), bottom approx 25" (63cm). Could be upcycled, kept as it is, or used for storage in a shed or garage.

Wall Unit/dresser (Eastwood NG16)
Expired
1y
- Anyone interested? Need it gone by end of 13th October 😁 This large, dark wood, dresser has a drinks cabinet, display section with one fixed shelf and glass-fronted doors, base cupboard, and 3 drawers. One of the drawer handles has broken off but may be fixable. The top section is removable which makes it easier to transport. It is a solid, heavy, piece of furniture and would require at least 2 strong people, with a van, to transport it. It is approx 64"/163cm W x 70"/178cm H x 18"/46cm deep (this is the depth of the base cupboard). Needs to go soon as we're relocating/downsizing

Dining Chair - perfect for upcycling (Eastwood NG16)
Expired
1y
- Hi there. We bought a mish-mash of dining chairs but are now needing to reduce the number we have! The material on this one is in good condition. However, as you can see from the photos the woodwork needs to be rubbed down, re-varnished or painted. Also, the joints are somewhat loose so it wobbles a bit, probably needs glueing 😊 It has potential to be lovely, we are downsizing so won't have room for it.

- Hi there. We have a small window approx. 46cm x 34cm. The window frame is intact but the glass is broken so we're looking to replace the glass. Does anyone have a window, or glass only they no longer want, that's roughly that size, or not too much bigger that we can then cut to size? 😊

Bubble wrap, tissue paper (Eastwood NG16)
Expired

- Hi there. Does anyone have any bubble wrap, tissue paper, and/or a few newspapers they want rid of? Starting to pack up for house move, have enough boxes for now but gave all my packaging to my sister when she moved last year and she's discarded it! Could really do with collecting a few bits this week. If possible from someone who lives no more than 10-15 mins. Walk from Wood Street - think I'd struggle to collect if I had to walk further 😊

Clothes airer (Eastwood NG16)
Expired
1y
- Red and white clothes airer that is really surplus to our requirements (we have 3!). NB when we moved house we did not have wardrobes for some time and we used this with hangers all around it and it did not collapse - though it is probable because we used it this way that the locking bar weakened and has now broken (please see photos). As such, when opened up, it is a little lopsided! However, the other locking bar holds it in place ok and ot works perfectly fine for drying clothes on - though it may not be suitable to anyone who would have to have it near small children in case it ever does decide to collapse. As you can see from the photos some of the paint is chipped and the plastic split but these are the worst parts, overall it is not in too bad condition and certainly has life left in it. Due to the damaged locking bar, it does need an extra shove when closing it and it doesn't close as flat as it used to do but, as you can see, will still fold down for storage. Somebody more skilled than me may even be able to repair the locking bar?

Panasonic Bread Machine (Eastwood NG16)
Gifted
1y
- This is a well-used bread machine as you can see from the photos but still works well/sure it has plenty of life in it! It was my mums and we find we're not making use of it often enough to warrant buying in the flower and the yeast - in fact we have an unopened/in date pot of yeast we will pass on too. The machine works okay, you just have to press the buttons quite firmly to make your selection. The paddle is a little worn but still has life in it. It would possibly clean up a bit but we never found it caused any issues to the resulting yummy bread. It makes upto approx. an 800g loaf. There is an instruction/recipe booklet that goes with it (see photo) which includes how to make white, brown, wholemeal loafs, dough, Foccacia etc. in the machine.
