Free: IKEA Malm desk with some damage (Botley OX2) IKEA Malm desk 140cm X 65cm with drawer and cupboard. Great desk but please note there is some damage from teenage temper tantrums (desk slamming on losing games!) to the top and the inner joints between the top and drawer unit. Having said that, we have never tried to mend it and the desk can be made up with the drawers on the other side...which would put the damage at the back where you can't see it so well. There is also some paint on the inside of the support on the non-drawer side, which could probably be removed. First picture shows the identical but undamaged desk. Other pictures show the paint and damage.

Free: 6 person tent (Botley OX2) Gifted Sleeps 6 people in 2 pods (4 comfortably). Lots of communal space. height 190cm, width 450cm, length 380cm. On first inspection it seems to still be in great condition BUT: I noticed that one of the hooks to hold the bedroom pods in place has broken (see last 2 photos for what it should look like and what it actually does look like). I think I remember that one of the (internal) zips on a bedroom pod comes off easily Tape has come away from the seams in places so its more suited to fair weather camping. It requires 2 people with plenty of patience, grit and determination to put it up!
