Free: Dining Table - John Lewis (Formby Village) Mid-century modern, solid pine dining/kitchen table, very much in the “Habitat” style. Measures 142 cm x 73 cm. As can be seen from the photo, it is dismantled ready for transport, reassembly is straightforward. Purchased new at John Lewis Department Store in London in 1971. In good condition and has spent much of the last 50 years in (dry) storage. The top has been revarnished along the way, the legs may benefit from a little TLC, but are still fine. It is a really solid, attractive table that we have cherished; only parting with it now as it is too large for our house!

Free: Camping stove and cylinder (Formby Village) Gifted Dual burner camping stove with grill, we always liked being able to make toast! It has had a fair bit of usage which shows cosmetically, but was working fine when last used, since when it has been stored in a dry garage. Comes with a larger Camping Gaz cylinder, I'm pretty sure this isn't empty.

Free: Gazebo (Formby Village) Gifted This is a bit of a lucky dip, a Gazebo that was bought during the lockdowns and never used. From memory it is about 3 metres square and, I _think_, it has sides that can be added. It has been stored in a dry garage and never been out of the bag so I'm not inclined to start unpacking it now in case it won't go back in again! It is quite a weight so the frame would seem to be substantial. Welcome to anyone who wants to have a go!

Free: Paddling Pool (Formby Village) Gifted Paddling pool 2.62m long x 1.75m wide. Was used for a period to hold plants while a pond was moved. It was thoroughly cleaned afterwards, but there is some slight discolouration of the plastic, nothing serious.

Free: John Lewis futon (double) (Formby Village) Expired John Lewis futon, beige colour. Had it a while, but not had much use, we're letting it go as we don't need a bed option in the room. 122cm x 90cm x 85cm (h) when folded. Breaks down into 3 pieces for transport. Has a storage compartment that can hold a duvet. There is some wear to material in some places of the bed section (see photo), I think it has rubbed when the bed is slid open / closed. It's not visible in normal use and doesn't affect usage. The back of the seating cushion shows some colour variation, again this is not visible when in use as a seat, it is the area that pushes under the back cushion.
