FREE Double Size Bean-Bag

Liz from South Dunedin

Fancy a super-size bean bag? This is big enough that a large guy can be really comfortable sitting in it. Light orange colour, the material is very comfy - I think it would be described as a narrow needle-cord. Its clean but there IS a catch. I fell off a bar-stool (food poisoning incident) and … View moreFancy a super-size bean bag? This is big enough that a large guy can be really comfortable sitting in it. Light orange colour, the material is very comfy - I think it would be described as a narrow needle-cord. Its clean but there IS a catch. I fell off a bar-stool (food poisoning incident) and partly fell on the bean-bag, leaving a few small blood stains that didn't wholly wash out when I washed the cover. We've used it since then with the stains towards the wall - the bean-bag needs to be against a wall anyway if you want to use it like a chair. Because of the stains I'm offering it for free. It doesn't have an inner bag to hold the 'beans' so if you're handy with sewing perhaps you could treat the current bag as an 'inner' and make a new cover! No photo because its wrapped in plastic from when we shifted here a year ago. Now we're shifting again, and I want it gone. The stains are the only drawback, its beautifully comfy to sit in and the fabric is lovely. Its at the back of our box room but it would be available for collection from Burnside this weekend. Any takers? Ph 488 4353

I was today, it was more than 10 minutes. Yes,, I understand they have to do load outs, but really this long is toooooo long. It is a busy saturday in Mosgiel today. It is not the first time this has happened. When it does I need to drive 5 to 7 km out of my way (instead of a 0.5km) to get home or longer to get to work.

Sitting on this sofa is like relaxing on a warm cloud, its that comfortable! Seat cushions are well filled with white feathers, the other cushions are plump and comfy, not sure what the filling is. All cushions except the chaise cushion are zipped. From non-smoking, no kids environment, only one very small mark that you barely notice. Must have faded since we bought it but the soft red fabric has pile and therefore is variable in appearance anyway. The back of the sofa is also covered in the same red fabric so the sofa looks fine anywhere in a room - it doesn't have to be back against a wall. The seat cushions are very generous in size so this is a large sofa that is perfect in a large room space. The sofa has moved with us three times; this time we've decided to offer for sale at $1500. See the three attached photos, taken this morning as I put the sofa back together after vacuuming. Email me today on ecowburn at gmail dot com

Price: $1,500
