Free: Bookcase with 6 shelves (Frenchwood PR1) Expired MDF I think, with black oak look veneer. 178cm. high, 90cm. wide, 35cm. deep. White-faced hardboard backing sheets need re-inserting and some are a bit frayed; there are some brass tacks available to secure; Was Habitat self-assembly 20+ years ago but doubt if it could be disassembled for transport without damage. You’d need 2 hefty people to handle it safely and a biggish vehicle.

Free: Chair (Frenchwood PR1) Expired Very light but strong, low chair. Canvas sling seat and back support with leather straps holding it together. Bought in the 1970s in a shop called Swedish Modern on Market Street. Unfortunately it now has a bit of woodworm in the parts that touch the floor but if treated it’s good for many more years. Or you could just have it for the canvas and leather.
