Lovely Old Oak Table and 4 Chairs for a Villa or old Bungalow.

Pam & Steve from Fendalton

70+ year old oak table and 4 chairs in very good condition from an estate. Very sturdy and well looked after. Better quality than some of the pieces made today.


Solid oak except for veneer on the table top, which needs some attention. One chair has a small piece broken off the back that just needs glueing back in. The chairs have padded velvet seats. We can recommend an excellent cabinet maker who specialises in oak and know this table.


The table is 3' square and has two extension leaves which extend it to 5'2" long and can easily seat 6.


Price negotiable.

Price: $425

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom

I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
