Classic dining table and six chairs

Ken from Cashmere

This lovingly cared-for, reproduction round Victorian Pedestal Dining Table and six mahogany, balloon back, dining chairs were crafted in Christchurch. A highly prized wedding present, in the late 1970s, from my parents. Characteristic of this romantic period in British design history, this setting works perfectly to create that classic dining room charm and or fit perfectly into an eclectic modern setting. Featuring beautifully carved detailing, solid wood, and turned pedestal with elegantly sculptured legs that curve down to the exquisite brass footings. The recently, refurbished chairs seats with tasteful, velvet upholstered are stylish and comfortable. All in good-excellent condition. The separate tabletop and base make for easy transport, delivery, and assembling. Owners are downsizing and moving to be with our family overseas. Available to view in Cashmere. Can provide transport for a local buyer.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
