Sofabed: Free to good home
This is a used sofa bed - we’ve owned it from new for about 12 years. 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.

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.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
