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.

However the diner’s owner Tom Andrews says he felt he had no choice but to ask the long term campers living on-site in vans and buses to move on, after he was “read the riot act” by council staff.

Waikato rugby legend Duane Monkley is widely regarded as among the unluckiest players to never represent the All Blacks.
The openside flanker was a dominant figure at NPC level, but played in a talented era of New Zealand loose forwards.

"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.

A brazen tagger who scrawled on a Hamilton car park’s walls in broad daylight was trapped with nowhere to go when police turned up.
The tagger vandalised the walls in full view of an office block full of people - including staff at the Waikato Times.
