3 piece suit, sofas, chair, footstool, grey, good condition, (Coventry CV1)
Promised
3 seater sofa, 2 seater sofa, chair, footstool / storage box. I will split the set if requested, there is a lot of it. All in grey velour. This suite was made to order by a company in Nuneaton, some years ago. Most of the cushion inserts have been replaced with modern fireproof foam and the whole suite is still very fit for purpose, it was not made to be a throw away. A couple of the cushion covers are slightly marked but they are zipped for cleaning if you wish and they all have at least one good side. The fire label is not a current one but the replaced foam will be fire resistant. Unfortunately I cannot offer transport, you will need to provide transport and people to do the lifting.

double mattress (Coventry CV1)
Gifted
This is a good quality sprung mattress, 4'6, will fit any 4'6 bed. It is about 6 years old and has loads of life in it. I am unable to move it to see the label for the make and spec. It is a mattress which recommends turning every few months to maximise it's life. It has had a full cotton mattress cover on it all it's life and is therefore very clean. I think the cover is available if you would like it. There is also the plastic cover to keep it clean when being moved. You need transport and people to carry it downstairs. Collection from CV5 6DT

vintage double bedstead, 4'6 (Coventry CV1)
Gifted
Please ignore the mattress. This is for the VONO bedstead which comprises: wood headboard in very good condition wood footboard in very good condition iron side supports vgc, you can see the name Vono is on the side. vintage Slumberland divan base which has sat firmly in place for many years. you could sleep on it but we have always had a mattress on it. This bedstead dismantles easily and the divan base folds in half as you can see in the photo. I am sorry but I am currently unable to move the mattress or the base at the moment for better photos, due to medical reasons. you will need your own transport and people to dismantle (easy, probably no tools needed) and carry downstairs.
