Rimu matching pair of 2-seater sofas - good condition

Monique from Havelock North

Pair of quality matching sofas. Solid rimu timber and flower fabric. Very comfortable.

Good used condition. One has more wear on the seated area, whilst the other was used as a bedroom decoration and barely ever been sat on. Made by Finewood Upholstery Ltd and "Handcrafted" as per the metal plate on the side of each sofa.

The 'worn" area (on only one of the sofas) has a few threads of the fabric a little pulled, but that's the only evidence of wear as the rest of them is perfect. The worn patches are still intact.

Basically after a re-upholstery project you would have brand new sofas. There is nothing wrong with the sofas other than faded fabric and a bit of loose thread, in other words the seating is still as comfortable as when bought. The wood in good condition except for the one leg (see scuff mark on photo), which needs a light sand with fine paper and a bit of oil. The wood needs a light oiling every few years to keep it nourished.

The fabric is a kind of grey-blue with tulip and another flower on it with other colours of red, gold, brighter blue, orange, purple. The sofas are one solid piece with no loose cushion parts.

Measurements are
173cm across from outside edges of the arms, 83cm from the back to the end of the arm. Height to top of the back (from floor) 86cm. Depth of seat ie from back of cushion to front edge 55cm. Both sofas measure the same.
One owner bought new. Always been in pet-free, smoke free home.

Score a bargain. I am happy for your furniture removal people to pick them up but I won't arrange the freight company for you.

Price: $1,100

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
