DIY banner (Walkley S6)
Expired
This is a piece of plain navy stretch fabric approximately 180cm long and 81cm wide attached to wooden poles at each end. The poles are about 120cm long and 22mm diameter. I think it was originally used as a backdrop to tell stories, but if you add your own picture or slogan, it would make a good banner. Or you could dismantle it and use the fabric and poles for something else completely! Evening collection easiest with me.

2 seater futon - read carefully (Walkley S6)
Gifted
Please read carefully before requesting this item: Old and very saggy 2 seater futon, which converts to a rather lumpy bed. My ex made some modifications to the wooden frame to get it to stand upright a bit more, and added a diagonal piece to strengthen it at the back. I added some heavy duty straps with Velcro to try to prevent the mattress from slipping down, but this was less successful. Photos show the mattress in position as it should be, how it ends up after a few days of people sitting on it, and the wooden base alone. The mattress cover will come off for washing, but has stains that I could not get out. There is a fire safety label. The frame will dismantle with a screwdriver and Allen key. The longest pieces of wood are 143cm long. When assembled, the frame is 1m deep and 80cm high. Please check the dimensions of your vehicle to make sure it will fit. Happy for you to take frame and mattress or frame only. We will be taking the mattress to the tip in about 2 weeks’ time, but the wooden frame will be available for a month.

Radio cassette player (Walkley S6)
Gifted
Hitachi radio with cassette player. The radio works, but I don’t know if the cassette deck does.
