Short lengths mdf shelving (used) (CT11)
Short lengths of shelving. These were in a very narrow alcove. Circa 54cm in length. One would need to be cut to match the others. These are used buf easily wiped down for reuse, and can be painted to smarten up if needed. These have a veneer on them so smooth wipeable surface. If useful collection from east cliff Ramsgate

2 seater generous Laura Ashley sofa (CT11)
Expired
This is very comfortable still, we believe its Laura Ashley. The cushion covers are very worn but can be washed in machine and come up brighter and clean. The main frame cover has to be done with a vax upholstery type machine as not removable. Overall the sofa does need re- covering long term or at the very least covering with a throw but it's structure is fine and super comfy and lovely shape sofa. If you're not too worried about the looks it works fine as is. Would be a fun project for anyone with basic sewing machine type skills as could make some loose slip covers and all good. Needs a van or roof rack to move, can't help with that I'm afraid. 2 seater... v deep and squishy :-)

Vintage dining chair - project (CT11)
Expired
This needs upholstery and maybe sand or paint (or both) a nice relatively simple upcycle project if you're looking for a winter project. It is a lovely vintage wooden high back dining chair with padded seat (not a drop in seat). Cannot be used as is as has been stripped, but I can see now I'm never going to finish it! Hope someone crafty minded is interested:-)

White metal double bed and mattress (CT11)
Gifted
This was in our spare room, so mattress has only had occassional use. The bed has signs of wear and tear but is still very serviceable and would keep myself if needed. Bolts all found a cpuple were missing when I dismantled it but didn't effect use. Could easily source new ones if concerned just a standard bolt. Frame dismantled and ready to go. Would need to take apart the base too if small pieces required but imagine not if also transporting mattress. Collection East Cliff Ramsgate

Dining table for craft or workshop (CT11)
Expired
This table has had many uses and is very battered but still a lovely big surface 3xtwndable with internal panel. Its Beautifully made and heavy. I have the piece cut from the end which could be stuck back in with a couple of supporting battons underneath if wanted. Needs 2 people/ van or roof rack, if anyone can make use of it you'd be welcome to it.

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.

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.

Tassimo coffee machine - small (CT11)
Gifted
This was passed on to me having been stored. I have checked it works, cleaned if but need to buy the yellow disk and decalsifying tablets on ebay (only a few pounds) to get it up and running, and have decided I would rather have the counter space. I do have some pods too. If anyone wants this you're welcome to it.

Garden chairs with cushions x 5 (CT11)
Gifted
These are battered and the cushions need a run through the wash, but they are very comfortable, nice chairs which would work as is or be a fun spruce up project for next year. (Could paint chairs and receiver cushions?) Heavy quality furniture sad to not have a use anymore ( the table had to go and the chairs don't fit under new table!)

foam/ mattress (CT11)
Expired
This was a king size mattress which is all foam, I cut it down to narrow enough to fit under one half of a standard double. This makes it a narrow single mattress for spare bed which fits under, or it could be cut up further for cushion making or similar.

Dining Chair for Project (CT11)
Expired
Nice old high backed dining chair. I started stripping the heavy (dated) varnish and sanding down, it's half finished, and the seat is a manageable novice upholstery project. It's structurally sound but the work to seat pad would need to be done before it's usable. A nice old bit of furniture. I have run out of steam with pending projects I never finish, so hoping to pass on to a fellow upcycler. It's in my loft atm but I'll get some pics if needed.
