Bag of assorted screws (Howdon NE28)
Several hundred screws, all shapes and sizes. Mostly collected over the years from flatpack furniture and taking apart other stuff and holding on to them just in case. Well, I've realised that I collect them far faster than I use 'em and if there's someone out there who's diy is more prolific than mine, or does a lot of repairs ... The bag weighs maybe 500g.

Self-inflating double bed. (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
It fills itself -in the centre of the picture is the valve which has an electric motor built in. There's a plug for mains power in the compartment to the right. It's a bit dusty and hasn't been used for a couple of years but should be okay.

Wicker Linen Basket (Howdon NE28)
It's kind of gold coloured but that's faded. We think it was made either in the 1930s or 1950s. It's still sturdy and serviceable (they don't make 'em like this any more) but it's too big for our new arrangements.

Bamboo freestanding shelving (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
Now surplus to requirements. Hardwearing bamboo, the separate shelves have screw-holes in the ends that can be used to fix them at varied heights to the larger pieces. I'm afraid we don't have the screws but they were pretty standard screws.

Plant baskets (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
... or could be used for anything, really; we used 'em for plant pots. A couple of the small ones are hang-able. The grey one's made of a kind of cloth. the larger ones are woven seagrass ("Belly baskets"). Preference given to those able to take all at once but would consider splitting the collection. Reason for giving: we don't now have space for them.

Tall standing lamp (Howdon NE28)
It's about 2m tall. The switch is on the floor cord. It works fine.

Free:
Office chair (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
Adjustable height, comfortable velvet type material. Swivels and has wheels. It's great but a bit too big for our new arrangements. It's quite heavy, mind -for when it comes to thinking about taking it away.

Large casters (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
These are new, never used -we found they were too large for our purposes. The wheels are 5cm diameter. They came without screws.

Free:
Packing Boxes (Howdon NE28)
Promised
Cardboard. About 8 of them are ikea and can be reassembled without tape. There's one non-ikea box which'd benefit from packing tape to use. Number is potentially out -it's a bit hard to count them when they're like in the photo!

Free:
bubblewrap (Howdon NE28)
Promised
box of bubblewrap. Various pieces, different sizes and even colours. Most are big enough to wrap a mug.

Samsung 80cm TV (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
It still works but we can't find the remote for it, the programming can be accessed the old-fashioned way via the controls at the side. However, setting up with a wifi stick or getting one of those universal remotes would solve that.

Free:
House bricks (Whitley Bay NE25)
About 50 whole bricks, a number of half bricks and pieces of bricks aswell. Preference given to responders who will take the pieces and rubble as well as the whole bricks. This is posted on behalf of a relative without a freegle account, please be patient if this sometimes slows response times.

Boards for art (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
A1 size (I think -they're c.60 x 84cm). There're 11 in the packet. They need to go quickly.

Vintage Tallboy (Jesmond NE2)
Withdrawn
A somewhat vintage piece. Dark wood with inlay design at the cupboard doors. The marks on the bottom shelf are fairly superficial. We need to pass it on by Sunday 12th ...

Free:
Floor lamp (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
As seen. Works fine, just surplus to our current needs. In the photo the lamp part is facing upwards -it would normally face down, obviously, it's just that we forgot to face it downwards when we took the photo!

Free:
Vintage wardrobe (Jesmond NE2)
Withdrawn
Mirror on outside of door. Quite good condition though old. Only downside is that the object leaning against the front actually belongs on the top as decoration. I think it'd be easy to wood glue back on.

Food processor and tools. (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
Only used a few times. No continuing use for us but still works. We hope to pass it on this week.

Free:
High seated chair (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
Could be used at, say, breakfast bar. We used it for sitting at a tall table for craft work.

Free:
Plastic storage crates (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
As seen only one has a lid -a split open on either side one (at bottom of pile). Would consider splitting but preference given to offers which can take all at once and quickly.

Hammock seat frame (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
It's over 7foot tall when assembled. It's heavy because robust metal. We don't have a functioning hammock seat to offer as well -sorry- but they aren't hard to find. There is some wear and tear from being in the garden but it is not very noticible and it works fine. We're only getting rid because we're downsizing. We've disassembled it for ease of transport (it'd be a beast to move otherwise). It's easy to figure out how to reassemble -especially with the picture to help!

Smallish pedal exercise unit for under-desk use (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
I can't swear to whether the electrics will still work as we haven't used it for yonks and even when we did it wasn't with the screen and monitoring, -we just pedalled while we worked for sheer exercise.

Free:
Metal clothes and hats stand (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
black metal, in need of a bit of a clean but basically sound. Good balance. We'd still use it if we had room for it.

Free:
Freestanding shelf unit (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
Wooden with lattice shelves. good condition but a few minor marks in one or two spots. The toilet roll is for scale and not included in the offer -though if that's a deal breaker ...

Free:
8 drawer chest (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
As seen. Good condition. Obv'sly it's heavy and longish, so make sure if you want it that you have help and enough room in your vehicle.

Free:
Bedside cabinet (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
As seen in photo. Pretty good condition. Surplus to requirement so it's been in storage in the garage for a little while.

Free:
Occasional Table (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
Has a bit of a vintage look. Has served us well and still would if we had the space for it still.

Free:
King Sized Bedframe (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
Assembled it looks like the white background picture. As it is now, in parts, like the other picture. As you'd guess, therefore, some assembly required but it's not hard to figure out. All the bits are there. It's been in storage for a little while.

Butcher's block table (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
Good condition and solid. Retired from use because we needed the space for other things. Pretty good condition, my need the bolts tightening and a wash down as it's been in storage in the garage.

Free:
Filing cabinet (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
It's metal. It's brown. It has four drawers and they all work. It's heavy and it's in our garage, so it'd need a couple of people and maybe some furniture moving wheels or similar to help move it. I'm willing to help with the lifting into a vehicle.

Pond pump (Jesmond NE2)
Gifted
Blagdon pump for small pond. Our pond had to be filled in so this was retired in working order.
