Just a thought, Pastures....... is it upholstered? If so, you might not be able to sell it without it having a fire label on it.
(You can give it away, but you can't sell it without one).
Unless it's a real antique with original horsehair fillings or something.

I'll check for you.........


Edit.......the regs don't apply to furniture/furnishings made before 1950., (but presumably providing they haven't been re-upholstered since then).

It's not upholstered as such, not "padded" and I bought it from the Council run/owned 2nd hand section at the recycling centre about 2 years ago ... so if they can flog it, I can

It's a solid wooden frame, with a spring top, then covered in fabric, tied round the middle with a corded string and again round each of the four corner feet parts in corded string.

I was going to make a remark in the description that it has no label. I think it's just shops and businesses selling that are most affected by the ruling.

I've taken some photos... no idea how old it is, but my pure guess would be 1990s 2000s? Style is probably Hyacinth Bucket's Conservatory.

Who on earth would buy something like that?
Oh

PN So sorry you've had such a stressful time. Sounds like you've definitely made the right decision. Sending you non-tactile cyberhugs, and of course let me know if you want me to delete this post. I'd been wondering if you were ok - obviously not!

Oh Sue, what a horrible thing to happen

Well, as it turns out, it's tricky to try to take a photo of a large item in a confined space.... so you end up with "that'll do" quality

You should be able to offload that ok.



What's happened to postimage, though? The page was full of "do you want to date these Asian girls" pictures? :eek:

Damn, have I missed the boat again?

It's weird.

I just tried an experiment and posted a random pic via postimage, and didn't get any girls' pictures, or any other advertising, for that matter, from the link. Strange.

I never see images on that site.
It must be you and your hobbies/preferences and browsing habits ... that's all I've to say on the matter.

Cheeky mare! :rotfl:

I've never seen pics on postimage before, and as I said, when I posted a pic myself just now, the link to my pic didn't have any ads for anything!

Most peculiar!
