Lament of a Lonely cube

I am a lonely cube
Lonely and Blue......
Looking for a new home
Maybe with you......
I once was black
But my outer fabric is gone

I am a lonely cube
Lonely and Blue......
Looking for a new home
Maybe with you......
I once was black
But my outer fabric is gone
Due to the cat
And also the sun
I just need a cover
Anything you choose
Then I wont have the blues
I've been a coffee table
Bedside chair too
I even accept feet
Whatever suits you
Please take me home
Away from this basement
You won't be disappointed
Cos for you I'm heaven sent
My owners tell me
That I am free
Just pick me up

This couch is very cool. It is the ultimate comfortable couch and you never have to worry about the kids or animals damaging it. It has all sorts of wear (but definitely no rips etc) although it adds to the charm. It could do with a handmans touch underneath but it does not affect the comfort and you definitely cant see it!
The couch DOESN'T come with any accessories but I have included the sheep skins and cushions in the photos so you can see how cool it looks dressed. I have put wheels on it to make it easier to move to vacuum under it (and so it looks great) as it is so heavy I couldn't pull it out. You will need two people to move it., pick up is Morningside Drive, Sandringham 230 long x 120 deep

Price: $120

Discover stories and traditions of tangata whenua as encountered by that first bewildered bunch of seafarers. And how do you communicate if you don’t speak the same language? Try to dodge muddles and mix-ups once we reach the Pacific.

● TUE 1, WED 2, THU 3, SUN 6, FRI 11 & SUN 13 OCT, 6PM - 8.30PM​
● $25 EARLYBIRD (UNTIL 8 SEP), $30 GENERAL ADMISSION
