Free: Scandinova Chest Freezer (Torquay TQ1) I am offering this reliable Scandinova Chest Freezer (Model: CF6-82). I have owned this for over 27 years, and remarkably, it is still in working order! It has plenty of life left in it for someone willing to give it a little TLC. Key Details: Brand: Scandinova Serial No: 02607603 Dimensions: Approximately 83 cm x 58.5 cm (32.75" x 23"). Condition Note: While it still freezes perfectly, it requires a new lid seal. I have researched this, and the replacement seal dimensions are approximately 83 cm x 58.5 cm. The exterior shows signs of age as expected for its vintage, but it is structurally sound. Collection Details: Location: Torquay (TQ1 area). Deadline: Must be gone by this Friday (27th March). Note: This is a heavy appliance. You will need a van and at least two strong people to move it, as I cannot assist with lifting due to the move.

Free: Large Upcycled Shoe Storage (Torquay TQ1) I've upcycled this from a larger shelving unit into a low-profile shoe storage bench. It features multiple cubby compartments, finished in a modern matte grey with short wooden legs. It's a great, sturdy piece for an entryway or hallway, though it does need a little DIY to finish it off. Note on Condition: The back panel needs replacing (the original wasn't in the best state). It still functions perfectly as is against a wall, or would be a very quick fix with a new sheet of ply/hardboard. Color: Matte Grey Dimensions: L: 209cm | H: 94cm | W: 36cm Important: This is a very long unit (over 2 meters), so you will need a large vehicle/van for collection. Shoes/decor not included. Location: Torbay (Collection only)

Design: Neutral white finish with cream/gold-accented handles. Condition: Structurally in good condition and fully functional. As it has been used in a child's room, it does have some scuffs and wear to the finish (primarily on the bottom plinth and edges as seen in the photo).
