In any case I am happy to give away the 2x single mattresses if anyone needs them and the frame I will turn into firewood. I just need to clear some space for my daughters new bed. Contact as below.


I have slightly unusual bunkbeds for kids to give to a good home. They were home made (not by me) and come with 2x good matresses. The top bunk is quite high but as it is basically made of 4x2 could be cut down. Some disassembly would be required. Feel free call or txt 022 644 7545
