- 146x76x66cm. Light colour, 3 shelves on the left, 3 drawers on the right. Fairly sturdy construction - from a flat pack kit. Now dismantled, so will fit in a largish car. Regret I had to take it apart, some damage - though all of it out of sight. Why not take a look - if you do not want it I will not be offended.

Wooden chair (Kings Hill ME19)
Gifted
1y
- soft seat, house-trained, non-smoker A chair with a history: it belonged to my mother-in-law. I broke the seat when changing a light bulb for her. I cut a new seat from MDF, and she re-did the upholstery. After the Second World war she worked as an upholsterer. During the war, as a young woman, she packed parachutes for the RAF. She complained to the factory foreman that some of the parachutes were being sloppily packed. She was made a leading-hand - I bet she was not popular.
