Giving away this characterful dining set as we no longer have a use for it. It has a lovely vintage aesthetic with a dark brown finish—perfect for a family home or an upcycling project!

There are some surface scuffs and wear consistent with age (see photos), which adds to its charm or makes it an ideal candidate for a fresh coat of paint! Collection Details: Price: FREE Location: 7A, 19/23 King St, The Village, Reading, RG1 2HG. Transport: Strictly collection only. You will definitely need a VAN and at least two people to carry these, as the furniture is solid and located in the town centre. Priority: Given to the person who can collect the earliest. Please DM to arrange a time. First come, first served!
