Free: Armoire (CT11) Expired The picture shows this in good working order and it works very well as is. Some minor aesthetic repairs and would look amazing, particularly if painted? The doors are damaged so more major repair or don't take and just use like this as a shelving system. The doors are mirrored - one broken one fine - and the frames need repair. All doable and I planned to but I've now decided I don't need the storage so looking for a new home. This can all go in a car expect the back panel which is a single piece. I have disassembled this and put back together many times on my own, its 4 big bolts no tools needed and its very simple. The ultimate high quality antique flat pack. It is solid wood with a beautiful veneer on top, that's damaged on doors but fine on main thing. Hope this finds a home. East cliff Ramsgate. wide but shallow so works very well as a linin cupboard.

Free: French amoire (CT11) Expired This is a lovely armoire in full usable order but the door needs some serious tlc and the veneer is damaged so it would be best repaired filled and painted. It's a lovely useful piece and currently in parts for transport. Assembled easily with 4 bolts. Could be used open without doors too, of course. Lovely fun upcycle for the person with the headspace to do it. Photos are random ones I could find as its now in parts. The bed is not available but I have added a photo of it to show the style of the armoire as they were a set. Anyone interested welcome to come and look before deciding. I appreciate the images are not overly helpful. Lovely piece so hoping it finds a good home.

Free: 3part laundry basket (CT11) Expired On wheels Very light I find the poles at the corners pop out so if I was going to keep this, I'd glue the tabs down completely to hold them on place (at the moment its just velcro which is not enough) and then it would be fine and hold it's shape much better. This is lightweight fabric and the wheels help plus the lid is handy for tidiness.

Free: Tassimo coffee machine - small (CT11) Gifted This was passed on to me having been stored.
