Hello!
We have a 5 piece sofa that we no longer have room for! My partner has a new sofa so this one has got to go!
Someone asked for it yesterday but never collected it.

Seats 6+ people.
Brown/cream suede/material sofa.

Comes apart into 5 pieces including a lazy boy seat, a long piece, and a sofa bed.
Lazy boy seat: 85cm wide (including the arm)
Second piece: 58cm wide
Curved piece: 55cm wide (at the curve seam)
Pull out sofa bed: 184cm wide (with sofa cushions)
180cm length (sofa bed, head to foot)
48cm height (sofa bed, floor to mattress)
130cm width (sofa bed, mattress width)
Long piece: 84cm wide
138cm length (seat to foot)

We have a cat so there are a few claw marks on the back of the sofa, and a small tear on the back (he fell off when he rolled in his sleep and tried to save himself!)

The second piece and the pullout sofa bed can swap places to fit better if need be but the section lock into each other when organised as intended.

Pick up in Howick area. I am unable to help move sofa sections, and particularly the sofa bed section is quite heavy. (Need to bring downstairs as we are the upstairs unit)

In fairly good condition - but I need it gone before moving!!

Free - just collect :)

(Also! Currently moving house, as mentioned, please see other items up for sale on TradeMe: www.trademe.co.nz...)
