white 6-drawer dresser, solid wood (Palo Alto near Hoover Park)
Gifted
Six-drawer white dresser in solid wood. An oldie but a goodie. I think the drawers are mahogany, an exotic hardwood (see photo). The drawer fronts angle in at the top, creating an invisible pull across the bottom. There's a notch detail across the top of the unit. It's sturdy and lightweight. The top has a couple minor stains which you could paint out if you want. Dimensions in inches: 43 wide x 16 deep x 29.25 high. Please pick up Tuesday. (We are moving.)

two red IKEA Poang easy chairs (Palo Alto near Hoover Park)
Gifted
Two IKEA Poang armchairs with machine-washable, red Alcantara (vegan suede) covers. We just washed the covers. These iconic, strong, bent-plywood chairs are quite comfortable with a little bounce, great for cuddling a snoozy baby or pet or curling up with a book and a cuppa. IKEA has been making these for over 40 years and still sells this design for $140 each. They don't seem to make them in red vegan suede anymore.

Assorted lumber (Palo Alto near Hoover Park)
Gifted
Lumber in assorted sizes, both solid wood and Baltic birch plywood plus a stray piece of OSB. Some long solid redwood pieces could make good garden stakes. There's a handsome dark rod with curlicue detailed ends that I used to display fabric art (quilts, etc.) but one end broke; the pieces just need to be glued back together. Includes a partly built plywood box that was going to be an end table but we never finished the project. Includes a never-opened quart of clear finish. Please take the lot.
