Lara from Island Bay

$350 ono. Indonesian teak tallboy with really cool heavy metal door handles. The drawers are nice and deep and hold quite a lot of things.

Indonesian teak tallboy with really cool heavy metal door handles. The drawers are nice and deep and hold quite a lot of things. This could be used in the bedroom, hallway, lounge or any space really as it's quite versatile. We are moving house and it doesn't go in our new place as we have inbuilt storage. There are some natural imperfections in the wood which add to it's charm. Feel free to view in Island Bay before putting a bid in. Viewing can be during the day in the week or weekend. 027 635 9047

Must be picked up by 9am 4th July as we are leaving Wellington on this date. This is very heavy and needs two strong people to lift and shift even without the drawers in it.
Dimensions: 1.8m high. Width 62cm and 54cm deep (from front to back). Drawers: 16cm height, 48cm wide on inside, 38cm deep (from front to back).

Price: $350

We found this photo in a retro booklet all about the Waterloo Pumping Station (now known as the Waterloo Water Treatment Plant) from 1981, and had to compare it to what it looks like now!


The station opened on 15 May 1981, and was designed to use the artesian underground water resource of the Lower Hutt Valley to its maximum extent 💧

Eight wells supply water from the Waiwhetu aquifer to the Water Treatment Plant located right next to the Waterloo Train Station 🚉
