Sofabed: Free to good home

Its showing its age but is in relatively good condition, but having raised a family its got a bit of wear and tear. It came with a ‘3M’ hydrophobic water shield coating. Which has helped the longevity of the piece. The pull out bed mechanism is still fully functional and runs smoothly. The fabric is what you would expect for a sofa of this age. Its a little worn from use. It has a few little rips from getting caught on things and just general wear - tried to get all of these in the photos. As it folds out there is a little staining on the light coloured ‘dunlop’ fabric from spills between the cushions over the years. But not too bad all in all. The main fault is one broken plastic ‘flatcap’ that holds one of the timber slats (they can be picked up online). It never really cause us too much of a problem so we left it.

Dimensions.
The sofa is:
196 cm wide - measured from the outside of the arms
81 cm deep - from back to the front of the arm. Seating cushions protrude a little beyond this.
63cm from the ground to the top of the armrests

The bed it is:
156cm wide
205cm long

If you want any more specific dimension just ask in the questions. It is HEAVY, its a solid bed pick up is from Avondale, Auckland.

Everyone deserves a warm, dry, healthy home – see if you’re eligible for financial support to insulate and heat yours.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.
