Free: Double mat, can be collected 24/7 (Gilmerton EH17) Withdrawn Double spring mattress is now out in the street and it can be collected any time when you can make it. Please, message for the address. Thanks :) It will be a first come-first served as the mattress needs to go. This mattress can be partially folded for your transport of it but not fully folded since it is a spring mattress. It is a good, double bed-size spring mattress, originally from IKEA, with all the springs intact and still moving well. I was its second owner. It is a comfortable-hard surface, really nice to sleep/rest/read on. It can also be great for a holiday home, as a guests' mattress, for family activity room, for outdoor play, camping etc. It is suitable to be on the floor, 20 cm thick with the springs fully extended. The mattress' cover has pale blue stripes on a white base. Comes with two pale blue, soft terry cloth material fitted sheets that fit the mattress, in case you need them - you are welcome to take both. I also have a good as new large insulation sheet that fits the mattress' size, in case you want to use it on the floor without a bed frame. Please, message for these if you need them and I will place them behind the mattress. For collection only. The mattress can be partially folded for your transport of it but not fully folded since it is a spring mattress. Thanks a lot, and have a nice day!

Free: 3-tier drawer cabinet w top open storage (not all wheels) (Gilmerton EH17) This a cute and compact, Vinsetto brand 3-tier plywood/pine drawer on wheels and with a square shaped open storage space on its top. I was the first owner but because it's been very well loved/and used, not all the wheels are intact. Nevertheless, it still stands solid on the ground and I still have one of the wheels that broke off. (It looks like a set of 4 new wheels could easily be re-attached to the legs which are just short metal spikes coming out of the drawers.) The wood surfaces are a kind of beige colour and the shelves are white plastic. The open storage space on its top is spacious and very easy to clean. If you have a power tool, then most likely you can make the plastic drawers section a unit you can move in itself also separate from the frame for storing documents, for small objects etc. I received this cabinet with the drawers already fixed inside of the wooden frame with four screws. It is a strong, reliable piece of furniture and the top open storage compartment is spacious. SIZES are as follows: Height 63 cm Width 40 cm Depth 43 cm For collection only. It can be picked up the earliest on 17th August, Sunday and after. I usually have time some weekday mornings and almost all afternoons/early evenings. Many thanks, and have a good day :) Lili

Sofa is on the lookout to find a new, good home :) I was its second owner. Currently all the cushion wrappings are in spotless condition, they have been deep cleaned. (The two armrests/sides and the under the mattress surface were not washed but that can be easily done with foaming spray or with a cleaning device.) The original fire safety label is still intact and confirms complying with regulations. It is a 'classic', retro sofa so it stands on 4 legs with a 19cm tall space under it. SIZES are as follows: Height 85 cm Width 166 cm Depth 80 cm Sitting height is at 50 cm Back support is going up to 70 cm The seating cushions are 15 cm thick The back support cushions are about 18 cm thick, they are made of Aerofoam, similar to memory foam The sitting surface depth is about 45 cm It is a 3 seater sofa, the frame is dark wood For collection only.

Free: double size IKEA spring mat + sheets + insulation (Gilmerton EH17) Withdrawn ** The mattress can be partially folded for your transport of it, probably with rubber ties or similar but not fully folded since it is a spring mattress. Please, no more no-show applicants. Thanks! :) It is a good, double bed-size spring mattress, originally from IKEA, with all the springs intact and still moving well. I was second owner. It is comfortable-hard surface, really nice to sleep/rest/read on.

I ALSO have a good as new large insulation sheet as well that fits the mattress' size, in case you want to use it on the floor without a bed frame. For collection only. Note: this feels feels like a two person adventure for the pick up OR takes one strong person to collect. I cannot assist with the lifting itself but I can cheer you on :) The mattress can be partially folded for your transport of it, probably with rubber ties or similar but not fully folded since it is a spring mattress. I usually have time some weekday mornings and almost all afternoons/early evenings. Thanks a lot, and have a nice day :) Lili

Free: 1 Baby Rowan tree, 2 Blue Alkanet (flowering), bush cuttings (Gilmerton EH17) Gifted This is for those who want to add to their garden and are willing to do some digging. Very sadly, if not adopted, these plants will be eliminated by the next tenant. I hope I can find these beloved plants some good new home/s! :) Baby Rowan Tree: circa five years old but it never went beyond the junior stage with me as I didn't put it to deep soil. I would say this one might be better lifted out by two people instead of one, or by one strong person and the right tool that you can bring with you? Blue Alkanet, also known as Pentaglottis: about 3 plants, in light soil, they should turn out easily with the right shovel used. Cuttings available also: - butterfly bush - elder - ash PLEASE, BRING YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT, since all I have here are two small hand shovels and that metal thingie to scrape out the weeds from flower beds :) For collection only.
