lattice cube storage box (Howdon NE28)
It's roughly a 50cm cube. Bigger than works well in our space. It's done us a few years service and is still in pretty good nick. It worked well for us storing things like kapok and felt so the bottom has not been straining to hold things.

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Withdrawn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 ...

Pallet (Howdon NE28)
It's 120cm by 80. Had lots of floor slates on it. It's been outside for a while but now the load is off, it could be collected if you have use for it. No broken parts, just a bit weathered. I'll send the address to first interested enquirer who can collect.

Loungers x2 (Howdon NE28)
Withdrawn
As seen in the photo. They are a little saggy and perhaps a bit of tigtening of the elastic could be undertaken. One of them (not shown has the elastic holding on one side of the seat snapped. It looks very fixable but may need a bit of extra elastic to help. These are now too large for our purposes and storage space, hence the give away.

Vintage linen basket (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
Originally painted Gold, now faded. Made sometime mid-20th century (I think 1930s but might be as late as 50s) but still robust (they don't make like this any more). It's too large for our current needs we'd love to see it go somewhere it would be cherished and well used. 59cmH, 43cmW, 29cmD,

box of bubble wrap (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
Medium sized box with assorted sizes of bubble wrap; some longish strips about 30cm wide and some small to medium sheets. Suitable for packing.

Collapsable packing boxes (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
Most are from Ikea and can be reassembled without the use of tape. One is a large box which would need tape to hold it as a box. 7 or 8 boxes in total.

Bag of assorted screws (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
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.

Wicker Linen Basket (Howdon NE28)
Withdrawn
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.

Free:
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)
Gifted
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.

Packing Boxes (Howdon NE28)
Withdrawn
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)
Withdrawn
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
