futon sofabed (Cambuskenneth FK9)
Gifted
4ft (122cm) wide futon sofabed, bought approx 1989, with attached fire safety label. Wooden (pine) frame, cotton-filled futon mattress; removable cotton cover with zip, red one side, blue the other. Used occasionally as bed, mainly as sofa. Quite firm. One end (with the legs, at the front) is slightly higher than the other, so when it’s folded down as a bed base, one section slopes down slightly to meet the other two. Good condition, but slight red stain and a couple of small pale stains on the blue side of the cover. With care instructions and assembly leaflets.

garden table and chairs (Cambuskenneth FK9)
Gifted
White plastic garden table and 6 chairs. Circular table 94cm diameter with hole in middle for parasol, approx 64cm high. Detachable legs with small height adjustment for uneven surfaces; a couple of the sockets have cracks but it still seems stable enough and the cracks could probably be fixed (duct tape?). Chairs are stackable. All well used but still plenty of use in them yet. They've had a quick wash after storage but would benefit from a more thorough clean.

Gifted
Vintage (? 1990s?) womens baggy shorts, size M, with pockets, 52cm long.

Otherwise in good condition, nice bright colours - turquoise, red, purple, mustard. They've sat in a bag in a cupboard far too long so I hope someone can finish the repair and wear them.
