Also from a college library three tables in solid Afromosia 304cm (L) x 70 (W) x 71 (H). These have holes in one side of the table where previously brass lamps would have been cited. In good condition and priced at £150 each. We are happy to sell the trestles or tops separately.
We also have a bit of a chair theme going on, some need more love than others, or is it just inspiration for what they could become? Each is priced up as shown in the photos.
Please visit instore or email/phone. You can collect or we can deliver within a 30 mile range. Please ask what this will cost.
Until further notice we are are unable to take orders for scaffold boards except in person when visiting the Abingdon woodshop.
Our current stock of scaffold boards have a greater variance in appearance, so we ask that you visit in person to choose your boards.
We will not be able to take orders via the phone, social media or email only for scaffold boards at this time.
Thank you for your understanding.
