Outdoor chair and table, separately or together.

Louise from Tauwhare

These are a part of a set I had to buy just to get a 2 seater suitable out door sofa which I could also lift and move around easily to fit in the necessary small space.

These are a part of a set I had to buy just to get a 2 seater suitable out door sofa which I could also lift and move around easily to fit in the necessary small space.
They are exactly the same as the 4 piece set for sale now (Wednesday 16 July 2025) in South Bunnings, Kahikatea Drive, Hamilton at $599.00. They were purchased and immediately put into my warm dry cabin outside and the two seater used long enough to know it worked for me and would not be sold as a set. There is one chair complete with grey cushions and one oblong glass table top for sale. The glass is silky white smooth on one side and on the other side a traction fine mesh like surface which gives the appearance of greyish white. The metal should be maintenance free and I would recommend as with all cushions, keeping the cushions in dry places when not in use or in winter weather.
These are in brand new condition and very comfortable. If the set was priced individually, it would probably be something like:
2 seater, $250.00
1 seater $125.00
1 seater $125.00
Table $100.00.
This is now one chair and 1 table, for sale at suitable offers, together or separately. They fit easily in my hatchback car. Depending on your location, I may possibly be able to deliver them, or meet the purchaser in town with them.
Please phone 027-358-1945, Louise. Offers invited. They are in my way in the cabin.

Here's some wisdom from financial advisor Katie Wesney, in a recent Stuff column...

"The antidote to inheritance drama isn’t complicated: start talking.

The best-prepared families discuss values, not just valuables. They talk about timing - could part of the inheritance be gifted earlier when it might have more impact? They update wills regularly and include everyone in understanding the bigger picture.

They also acknowledge that financial literacy isn’t inherited along with the money. If you’re expecting to leave or receive a significant sum, everyone involved should understand how money actually works.

And here’s the crucial bit: they treat inheritance as a nice-to-have, not a financial strategy. You can’t control when it comes, how much it is, or who else might need support."

If your values include supporting charities that tackle the issues you care about, and or the community in which you've thrived, then after taking care of your family, including a bequest in your Will to create a philanthropic endowment that gives back forever is a wise and effective strategy.

Artificial intelligence programs such as ChatGPT are here to stay - the question now is, how will they shape the future? Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?

Recent work out of a MIT Media Lab suggests that people who used ChatGPT have lower brain engagement than those who did not when writing their essays. While the MIT Media Lab work has driven headlines recently, others have been quick to remind us that the fear of technology is nothing new.

We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?
