If you can come and take it away, it is yours for free. We got it from the Warehouse 2 years ago. It is in good condition other than the hole as seen in the picture, where it has come away from it's straps - needs a sewer with a strong needle. The netting is all intact, and it is still sturdy. It measures 310cm in diameter, with a little bit more to allow for the uprights which curve outwards.

Yes! We'll be having our joint Community Book Fair at Karori Baptist Church Hall as indicated in the poster.
There will be books galore at the Karori Community Book Fair - thank you to those who have donated books. We now have enough books, so are not accepting any more at this stage.
Give children lots of opportunities to read different things in their own time - it doesn’t just have to be books. There’s fiction, non-fiction, poetry, comics, magazines, recipes, and much more. Try leaving interesting reading material in different places around the home and see who picks it … View moreGive children lots of opportunities to read different things in their own time - it doesn’t just have to be books.

However this makes it possible for us to explore growth new op shop locations in the Wellington area, as we look to open more stores in the near future for the Wellington community.
Everything in our Petone Op Shop is currently on sale, with prices slashed from now until our closing date. Everything MUST GO before 31 July 2022. We will continue to gratefully accept items donated for the animals in our care, including blankets, towels and pet toys for our SPCA Wellington Centre – but please be aware that we will not be accepting donated items for resale.

I don't know how old is, but I guess several years.
It has issues with the thermostat or something like that, as it froze the vegetables in the fridge part, but for normal things works well. The freezer works as expected. Also, it makes some noises sometimes, but nothing too loud, it is the thing that you can expect from an old fridge.
The containers in the freezer have some cracked parts (see photos).
Only pick up in Karori.
If you need any more details just let me know.
