Great for a rental property or holiday home
2 seater couch with 3 chairs.
Really quality brand was originally purchased from D. A Adams furniture
2 of the chairs are immaculate .. have never been used very much..just for the occasional visitor.
1 Chair has some wear on arms ...but could be cleaned easy
The 2 seater couch has the wear as hubby sat on it too much watching TV.
Cushions on couch have wear ..see pics.. but there is extra new material that can be used to repair cushions
. I need it gone as I have bought a new lounge suite. Buyer must pick up.. Make my day please and take it away.. as it is up space . Happy for someone to have it for FREE.

For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.

To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a women’s refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This month’s campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.

Let us know how you’re spreading the ‘It’s Not OK’ message in your home or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
