We have an old wardrobe and chest of drawers that were made decades ago. Decent enough quality, but just too large for our place. Have chucked them out in our garage for now, but if you/anyone wants them they are welcome to just take them. I'll just need to mind and take the kids paddling pool out the wardrobe

Can supply pics if required, but they are large items, would need a decent sized van to take them (oh, and you'll need to be strong 'cos they are heavy as ****)... wouldn't suggest them for someone who lived in a top floor flat unless you can squeeze them in a lift

There is tumbledryer here, working fine but a bit aged
and a microwave.

I'll have a look at the chairs,
because there are 2 really nice heavy oak framed easy chairs in the stables, but I don't know how kind the storage has been to them . I will look and report back lol

But not as cheap as it was a few years ago :-(

We priced bunk beds there, having looked at the shops first. The bunks we wanted (which we now have) were £200 in Argos. The second-hand ones in the barn were £150 !!!

was in the green home last week and alot of the funiture has two prices on it the lesser one if your on low income or benifits, they also tend to price the really nice stuff higher for the richer folk and dealers and the not so great/less fashionable cheep to clear it faster but its still in good order.

Have found the charity barn has gone over the top with the pricing (as has many charity shops) they only have one woman who does the pricing was in last week and there was some curtains out with out a price and the assistant could not sell them as she was not allowed to price it up was someone elses job, also wanted some mug trees for displaying key rings and jewlery on at the craft fairs they wanted £2.50 -£4 each for them one well used and scuffed one had a £2.49 sticker still on it from your more store another had an arm missing and one even had two missing needless to say they stayed on the shelf got some in the greenhome for 50p. Mum was looking for a bed side cabinets they had a pair covered in stickers felt tip and bashed to hell they only wanted £25 each for them identical ones in B+Q were £29.99 so they stayed aswell.
