FRENCH STYLE 3-4 SEATER SOFA & ARMCHAIR carved & metal studs needs re-upholst.

Jan from Nelson South

FRENCH STYLE 3-4 SEATER SOFA & ARMCHAIR carved legs & metal studs [needs re-upholstering]

Purchased in Europe, but now relegated to the garage. Rescue this lovely suite and breathe new life into it. Hence some photos are of the whole lounge and others taken in storage.

Comfortable to sit, lounge or lie on, it has been used as a spare bed when needed as well. The first image of the lounge, shows the edge of the lounge suite, but without its cushions for some odd reason. They are available as well and included in the price.

Measurements:
Chair: H 82cm; W 75cm; D 80cm
Sofa: L 2metres; D 80cm; H 82cm. 3 cushions, widths are 52cm at each end and 62cm in the middle.

Elegantly restrained carved legs. Good for a shabby chic finish or french provincial interior.

Interior upholstery still in good condition, made with durable materials, but the velour on the fabric has worn off. The base fabric is still strong and sturdy. The upholstery is a draylon or man made equivalent to look like velvet. The armchair is in better condition. The fabric is threadbare along the back top of the sofa and on the arm. There is a dark stain on the inside of one arm. We don't smoke but had a lap dog at the time. It doesn't smell.

Pick up in central Nelson at the top of Collingwood St.

Price: $330

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
