“The house flooded in March last year. Water came up underneath the house, and down the roof. I ended up having to buy a new roof,” Beggs said.

The matteresses are perfectly fine - no damage and 100% safe.

The bedroom furniture has very slight water damage on the base. (we had less than 1 cm of water in the room)

However, the draws work perfectly and all totally usable.

Includes one 'tallboy' set of draws, one dresser with 6 asst draws and mirror and two bedside tables with 3 draws in each.

I am using these myself at the moment, so it is definitely usable.

Pickup from Mt Roskill after hours or Sundays.
