Shower chair (Howdon NE28)
For use in a shower by someone who may have difficulty standing in a shower. It's fairly new, bought to help in a post-op recovery period but now no longer needed and we don't really have room to store it indefinitely in case it came in for use later.

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.

Easy chair (Howdon NE28)
orange upholstery, a Habitat chair. Need more space so it needs to go. Very slightly wobbly leg but basically fine. Slight (as in you need to look carefully) signs of use.

CD player + Radio (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
Barely used, but old -nearly new condition. It's a barebones player; just the speakers -no phono jack, nor bluetooth. (Things I now need hence getting ride of this one). It'll only play into the open air so to say.

Wood /small pallet (Howdon NE28)
Either it's lumber or it's a pallet -your choice. As a pallet, it's 120cm by 80cm. It 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 or for the wood. No broken parts, just a bit weathered. I'll send the address to first interested enquirer who can collect.

No particular specifcations other than it be in working order.

Cd player (Howdon NE28)

Just needs to work but an audio jack is important and bluetooth would be better still. Portability could be a factor.

Ladder bookcase (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
Good condition, as seen on photo. We've been consolidating books and reorganising shelving and this is no longer needed.

Bookcase (Whitley Bay NE25)
Withdrawn
Ladder style wooden bookcase. In good nick. Our recent rearrangements mean that it no longer has a function in our space. It's served us well but it's time to rehome it.

Firestick (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
It's used but still works. We did a factory reset on it, so it should be ready to plug and play, so to say. Remote works, the battery slider is a little loose -but that seems to be the only thing that is not in top condition.

Book tree (Howdon NE28)

Book shown to help with a sense of size. It's about 97cm high. Made of wood.

wood & stone topped coffee table (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
This is large; 113cmL x 69cmW x 40cmH. I'm afraid I've nothing to weigh it with but it's heavy due to being made of stone tiles in the centre, a solid wooden top and the legs and shelf have been purpose created from reclaimed railway sleepers. Originally it had a single box like support in the centre -but this was a hazard if too much weight went on either side, so we replaced it using an excellent craft carpenter we know. It's just too heavy and large for us now. It's in good condition though you'll probably want to add a bit of polish at one or two points. The wood of the top is not smoothly flat but ridged by the darker grain. The Subbuteo Game is there for a sense of size -it's not being offered ;)

lattice cube storage box (Howdon NE28)
Gifted
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.

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,

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.

Wicker Linen Basket (Howdon NE28)
Expired
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.

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)

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)
Expired
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!

bubblewrap (Howdon NE28)

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)
Expired
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.
