Free: Decorative wooden thing (Walkley S6) Hand carved wooden thing that I think originally had a notepad attached. The main piece is about 1cm thick. It has a hole in the middle of the carved flower where you can screw it to a wall, so perhaps it could be repurposed to hang keys on or similar? Or maybe it could become a door to a dolls house?

Free: stool (backless chair) (Slack Lane DE22) Withdrawn A potential up-cycling project for someone: Wooden stool - was once a chair, but not in the past 50 or so years. The seat has been covered with sticky back plastic, but I'm sure that could be removed. It is surprisingly comfortable to sit on - we used it as a piano stool for years.

Free: Pieces of wooden shelving (Slack Lane DE22) Withdrawn Various pieces of wood. Most come from what was once a stand-alone bookcase, but this got dismantled and the wood used for wall shelving. The dimensions of the largest pieces are approximately 157cm x 30cm, but bits have been cut/chiselled away from when it was a stand-alone bookcase. Then there is a separate darker length of wood which is approximately 276cm x 11.6cm. Also some sections of chipboard and smaller bits of wood if interested. You will need a large car or van to collect, or be prepared to cut the pieces to fit your vehicle. Collection no later than 6pm Thursday 10th April

The shorter ones are a mixture of lengths, mostly around 1.5m in length. I have about 3 times as many of these as appear in the picture. There may be enough for more than one person if you don't want all of them.

23d

Free: Folding garden chair (Slack Lane DE22) Gifted Substantial folding garden chair with foam cushion. In working order, but some rust marks on the frame and it's been stored in the garage for years, so will need a bit more of a clean than I gave it for the photos. It is comfortable to sit on, but quite heavy to move. The label says that it doesn't need to conform to 1988 foam regulations (presumably because it's for outdoors), but states that the foam and covering have had some kind of ignitability test.

23d

Free: Small shelf unit (Slack Lane DE22) Withdrawn Shelf unit which used to hold hi-fi equipment. Approximately 44cm wide x 40cm deep x 60cm high. The middle shelf was either added to the original unit or adapted by my dad and has corners cut out rather crudely with screws that stick out in order to stop it slipping. This could easily be removed as required.

24d

Free: Small office chair (Slack Lane DE22) Withdrawn Small brown office chair on wheels. Still in quite good condition. The back rest can be adjusted a little in height and depth, but not the seat.

Free: Rocking chair (Slack Lane DE22) Gifted Wooden rocking chair. Rough dimensions are 77cm long x 72cm wide x 94cm high. It was professionally re-upholstered within the last 10 years, so should hopefully conform to fire safety standards, although there is no fire safety label. The front arm rest sits slightly loosely on its base and wobbles a bit, but it has been like that for the past 50 or more years without problem!

25d
