3x Scandinavian Dining Chairs

Andrew from Mount Roskill

Purchased approximately 7 years ago with an opportune find at a op-shop, these were previously upholstered in a lovely pale pink fabric.

At the time of purchase I reupholstered them with the sage green canvas material and sanded and restored the timber. I’ve always been unsure of the timber but did think it was teak for a while so used oil suitable for that.

Although three chairs is an odd number, these go well with other chairs, either around a similar era round or rectangular table.

One of the chairs had had a hasty repair job which has resulted in scratches (as pictured in the last photos). This is easily fixed with a new piece of timber and screws. This needs to happen before I’d deem it a useable chair.

Selling to make room, and we haven’t been using them. They’ve been in a dry basement for a year or so and have been cleaned recently with a damp cloth.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
