SOLD: IKEA Couch - in two colors

IKEA couch with 2 fabric sets - one is off-white, one is dull green. They are both complete sets. In the picture below they are mixed together so you can see what's available. It's a 3 cushion couch and extremely comfortable. Many people have slept on it and are surprised just how nice it is to sleep on - it really invites you to nap on it. The seats don't sag, all cushions are still firm. There are 6 big square pillows that come with it. We can throw in a little one and some light blankets as well.

If you don't like the color choices, you can go to IKEA and get your own fabric set. They are easily removed and can be thrown in the wash. The off-white seat covers are slightly stained. The rest are in reasonable used condition

SOLD: Plants

A variety of plants and pots...I haven't gotten around to taking pictures of most of them. There are some random plants ready to go now, but most of it I won't want to get rid of until June since we are still harvesting fruit and veggies. When it's closer to the sale date I'll take more pictures...

SOLD: Outdoor Table with Umbrella Set

These items can be sold together or separately, though I prefer to sell them all together.
  1. Umbrella
  2. Umbrella base
  3. Table
  4. Chairs
The umbrella fits through the center of the table. Provides protection from rain or sun. Table is square. Surface is smooth, easy to clean and can withstand the elements. Chairs are stackable. Great for a rooftop or porch.

Pictures
Table is big enough to have a four person game of Settlers of Catan - lovely for a summer night time activity. Also good for BBQs on the roof - hold the food, plates, snacks, drinks, etc. Surface can easily be sprayed down with a hose or wiped down quickly with a sponge.

There are 3 chairs stacked on top of each other at the far end of the table. Easy to wipe down - hang large sheets over 2-3 chairs on the roof for quick drying. Good for parties. Chairs are lightweight.

The umbrella has a pulley system to get the umbrella to open. The string can be wrapped around the base to stay open. The peg for the pole is gone but you can easily replace that.


This is the metal base for the umbrella. Heavy so it won't be blown over. Umbrella fits in for standalone feature to provide shade protection.
