Free: Exercise bike (Pilrig EH6) Basic exercise bike in good working order with user manual. There's a battery powered display that tracks time/distance/speed and a manual dial to change the resistance. The seat height is adjustable and the bike folds so that it takes up less space (see second picture). It has small wheels so that it's easy to move it around, but you need to tilt the frame to use them so it won't move while you're cycling. The section that the pedals are attached to is weighted to keep it stable. It weighs about 20kg and the weight is unevenly distributed, so it could be difficult for one person to carry for more than a short distance. My flat is on the second floor and I can help you get it down the stairs, but after that you're going to need a car or some very understanding friends.

Request: Old (ish) Hand Tools (Bellevue EH7) Hello, I am hoping to find and use some older (working condition) hand tools, not as antique as the ones pictured - possibly ones from the 1960/70/80's. If anyone has some spare or perhaps gathering dust in a shed - I could use tools such as, a plain, a tenon saw, saw, files, set square, mallet, chisels and a tape measure. Thank you for any items you may be able to offer.

Free: Fold-Down Table (detached already) (Gilmerton EH17) Good condition (second user) wooden fold-down table can be picked up either Wednesday evening (tomorrow, 30th July) or any day from Friday (1st Aug).

The side elements are a kind of lime green addition but can be repainted to any colour.

Free: Large wood chippings (West End EH12) We currently have a large pile of wood chippings in our communal gardens that are too large to mix with compost, which was our plan for them. However, they are suitable for a variety of other uses - suppress weeds, bonfires, barbecues or fire pits or stock up for your wood burning stoves. While we have spread some over an area to suppress weeds, we are happy to give the rest away for free. For collection only, you will need to bring a suitable container and can take as much or as little as you need. We have wheelbarrows that you can use to transport the chippings to the garden gates.

Request: chicco echo stroller bumper bar (Haymarket EH11) Hello, we got a chicco echo stroller second hand but the bumper bar is missing and you can't find any online apart from universal bumper bars that I don't trust. I thought I would ask here if anyone has got the same stroller disused with a bumper bar I could collect. long shot but you never know... many thanks. We're are going away at the end of July, hence the deadline in the ad.

Free: Wooden book shelves/case-style, for wall (Gilmerton EH17) Promised A beautiful natural polished wood (not gloss coating) tall bookshelf on offering. It is for a wall (it doesn't have legs). I've been the second owner of it and the middle shelf, from 5 shelves in total, is cracked on one side but it still holds stuff placed on it :) It is hung on the wall and I can't help with lifting it off, so if you can bring a buddy to help you - it is yours. I think it will require some force, as in first pushing the shelves up and then lifting the whole thing off, I guess. Bringing along a set of screwdrivers might help. Dimensions are as follows: Overall height 150 cm Overall width 100 cm Shelf width 96 cm Depth/Shelf depth: 19 cm Shelf height: 24cm, except the top shelf as that one is an open shelf. The wooden carving/decorative addition that is under the bottom shelf is 22cm long It's a kind of case style 5 tier bookshelf for a wall, I don't think it can be disassembled. Collection only. I usually have time some weekday mornings and almost all afternoons of the week. Thank you, Lili

Free: White bench (kids sitting height) (Gilmerton EH17) A used but good (one small part tends to pop out under the bench) white wooden bench is on offer. I was its first owner. It seems to be a combination of plywood and perhaps pine, it is not glossy in any case. It looks easy to be repainted to a colour of your choosing :) What I want to point out is that even though I got it for myself and it's comfortable adult size as for back support, the sitting level is rather low, so it's probably kids height as for sitting down and then getting up from it again. Probably not suitable for yourself if you are an adult with joint issues! However, if you prefer sitting close to the ground as an adult, this bench was made for you. Dimensions are as follows: Overall height 80.5 cm Sitting surface height 39.5 cm (!) Overall width 115 cm Sitting surface width 99.5 cm Overall depth 45cm Sitting surface depth: 42 cm It probably could be disassembled if needed, I'm just not sure how exactly - sorry, a very insecure DIY person here. I won't be able to help with lifting or carrying only cheer you on, so please bring a buddy with you. For collection only. I usually have time some weekday mornings and almost all afternoons of the week. Thank you very much, Lili

Free: House shaped shelf system, white w some colours (Gilmerton EH17) Promised I'm offering a good condition, somewhat used but solid and nice house shaped shelf system. I was its only owner so far. It is suitable for kids rooms and/or for any creative space. It is a combination of pine and plywood, with most of it being white, with the back panel having some baby blue and baby pink colour. It has legs so it's very easy to clean under it and the bottom part is one spacious drawer you can pull out easily. Sizes are as follows: Overall height 126 cm Shelves start at about 30 cm Drawer's depth is 27.5 cm Triangle shaped top shelf is 39.6 cm tall. I won't be able to disassemble it but you are welcome to if you have the tools for it. For collection only. I usually have time some weekday mornings and almost all afternoons of the week. Thanks a lot, Lili

Free: MiniSail Dinghy (scrap/project) (Gorebridge EH23) 60s MiniSail dinghy. Approx 13ft x 3.5ft. It was here when we moved in, seems to have been left to the outside elements for some time. There's three cracks from what I can see, one below and two in the seat, and will require two people to move it. Ground level access.
