Gorgeous solid-wood super-king bed and mattress
Hi neighbours,
I'm selling our parents' super-king bed and mattress. It's too big for us now and, sadly, we have no place to store it any more. This bed was hand-made for mum in the early 1990's by a Colombian carpenter from sustainably-sourced solid wood from Colombia (South America), and it is heavy and gorgeous. The mattress alone is nearly 2m x 2m, and the entire bed frame is just short of 2.3m x 2.3m. It is great for families with kids or pet lovers... it is huge! The bed is worth over $7,000 but we'll be happy to get $1,500 ono. Feel free to message me if you'd like to see it.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
