Free: Next sofa - leather used (Stretford M32) See photos. It's used good condition and very comfortable. It just doesn't fit with my requirements now because of my mobility problems getting worse. As it's a quality piece of furniture it's quite heavy. Which also means I can't help much with the moving of it. Removal will need a minimum of two people and long vehicle or a van. I have mobility issues so I would be of limited help with the moving it. I'm on the first floor but it's one straightforward flight of stairs straight out the exit of my building. A trolley may be of help. I can't deliver it.

Request: Gazeebo (Stretford M32) For communal area project where I live. I've included a picture of the communal area To give potential gifters a better idea of what we're looking to achieve for the residents (including myself). I'm also looking for something like fencing etc. that will cover the awful view of the horrible wheelie bins. I would even be happy to receive sensible suggestions for that particular problem. Thank you for reading and thank you in advance. Richard

Request: Gardening tools (Stretford M32) I'm looking for some simple gardening tools to maintain some parts of our communal areas the professionals don't touch. They're in a bit of a state overgrown with weeds etc. Things like a tiller to break the ground up and a rake to help us get the weeds out to then let the soil have time rest before we then decide what to do with these atm unsightly areas. As it's communal areas belonging to the landlord we dont have money to buy equipment and we're not looking for anything that's in brilliant condition. Just that will do the job.

Free: Ikea galant desk/table (Stretford M32) Promised See photos. The top is 120cm x 80cm Metal base is 120cm x 40 cm And leg length is 70cm. NB all measurements are approximate and the legs when fitted are at an angle. So the height of the desk will be a little less than 70cm. The base is a metal frame with legs to be screwed to it underneath (all the screws are provided). Already disassembled for easier transportation. Note the top isn't in great aesthetic condition. But it is IKEA so other tops should fit if you want the base and legs only.

Free: Beanbag - stool. Project (Stretford M32) Seen better days. A bit wobbly. Zip is stuck open. I was going to remove the polystyrene beads and give it was wash but as the zip is stuck open on the outer bag I haven't the time (Nor the expertise) to sort it. The beads would perhaps be useful if the bag itself isn't? There is a pouch and a zip at the end of the pouch to facilitate easy removal of the beads.

Free: Small (kids) lounger cushions x2 (Stretford M32) See photo. Got these from my sister. Saved from the bin. They've been washed. The original cushions have been replaced - In the main body of the covers) The heads can be filled with anything you like. I've popped filling from a written off pillow inside one. Each compartment is zipped separately. Not particularly attractive but they could be dyed and they do the job.

Free: Wassilly (replica) - repair project (Stretford M32) Gifted Please read below before asking for this chair. It's currently in pieces. Some of the leather is damaged. I had misplaced the screws for connecting side pieces. But Ive now found them. The first photo is of the chair before I took it apart. The second is of what it could look like if restored. I can't do the project so I'm looking for someone who wants to do what I can't. Otherwise it'll have to go to the tip. Which I was going to do some time ago but considering the iconic style of this chair I just couldn't do that. But now I have no choice. So if it's not taken by someone over the weekend I'll have no choice but to dispose of it at a council recycling centre. No timewasters please. timewasters will be blocked.

Request: Parasol needed for communal area (Stretford M32) Received I'm trying to improve our communal area so residents can more easily socialise and enjoy the nice weather we're bound to have this summer and autumn and of course not forgetting the Indian summer at the end of that. So it would be much appreciated if someone could donate a parasol or two (we also have a garden bench/table not in picture). Personally I'd quite like a parasol that's got a brewery or product placement on it. But anything that's still got life in it would be greatly appreciated. I have a vehicle so will collect. However as I'm a bit long in the tooth and my health isn't what it used to be, Ideally I'd prefer to collect outside of peak traffic times. I'm also quite happy to collect contactlessly if somebody wants to leave the item where it can easily be collected.

Free: Next sofa - leather used (Stretford M32) Withdrawn See photos. It's used condition. there a few small marks easily concealed with a marker. apart from that it's in really good condition and very comfortable. It just doesn't fit with my requirements now because of my mobility problems getting worse. This also means as it's quite solid and heavy I can't move it around on my own. Which also means I can't help much with the moving of it. Removal will need a minimum of two strong people and I'd also recommend a van too. I have mobility issues so I would not be able to help with the moving it once it's outside the front door. Except to help get it in a suitable vehicle. I'm on the first floor but it's one straightforward flight of stairs straight out the exit of my building. A platform trolley may be of help. Please do not ask for this unless you are fine with the above. It can't be delivered.

Free: Damaged - Habitat drop leaf table (Stretford M32) Withdrawn See photos and please read below before asking. And when asking please also acknowledge you are aware of the damage. The damage was caused after a move where screws got lost and screws sent by the manufacturer turned out to be too long so sadly they went through the top (from underneath). Apart from the damage it's a very nice table and is about 100cm across. I'm hoping someone might take it as a restoration project or it be repurposed, rather than it go to recycling,
