Free: Billy Bookcase topboxes (Kidlington OX5) Gifted IKEA Billy Top boxes (birch colour) to fit on top of standard 202cm bookcases. We've moved house and annoyingly our ceilings are now too low for the extra 35cm height. (Needs 2.4m ceiling or more.) Two 80cm wide, one 60cm and one 40cm. One of the 80cm is a slightly later design - the other three use shelf tonks to hold the boxes in place. Photo shows them all stacked to fit in one photo for comparison, but they are intended only be used singly. Or could be used as freestanding shelves. Message me if you need more details. Please take one or all.

Free: Kayak with paddles (Kidlington OX5) Gifted Poly Pippin kayak, blue, with kayak paddle, adjustable footrest, and toggles at both ends for carrying it. 14 feet long, and pretty heavy/ robust and stable. Large cockpit, like a marathon or sprint racing kayak, and an unusual seat that can either be used for normal sitting or high-kneeling. (Designed by Fladbury Canoe Club, where they had world champion high-kneeling canoeists.) The hull is unfortunately a bit hogged - so it won't run quite as smoothly as it should, but is still very usable as an introduction to canoeing. Reposted due to time-waster.

Free: Bed frame, king size (Kidlington OX5) Gifted IKEA Hemdal with Sultan Lade slats. Heavy metal frame and headboard, wooden slats. One M6 bolt missing, but since it uses two bolts for each fixing, it still works ok.

Free: Fridge (Kidlington OX5) Expired Fits under worktop. Working, but ice box door missing, so useless for ice cream, but is capable of freezing milk bottles if you set it too high. Light not working (I've tried the bulb). I simply used a battery PIR light (£5 from Amazon) instead, which works just as well. Whirlpool A class (old energy rating system). With shelves and door trays. A little bit of surface rust, but usable if you need something temporary.
