Sofabed: Free to good home
This is a used sofa bed - we’ve owned it from new for about 12 years. Its showing its age but is in relatively good condition, but having raised a family its got a bit of wear and tear. It came with a ‘3M’ hydrophobic water shield coating. Which has helped the longevity of the piece. The pull out bed mechanism is still fully functional and runs smoothly. The fabric is what you would expect for a sofa of this age. Its a little worn from use. It has a few little rips from getting caught on things and just general wear - tried to get all of these in the photos. As it folds out there is a little staining on the light coloured ‘dunlop’ fabric from spills between the cushions over the years. But not too bad all in all. The main fault is one broken plastic ‘flatcap’ that holds one of the timber slats (they can be picked up online). It never really cause us too much of a problem so we left it.
Dimensions.
The sofa is:
196 cm wide - measured from the outside of the arms
81 cm deep - from back to the front of the arm. Seating cushions protrude a little beyond this.
63cm from the ground to the top of the armrests
The bed it is:
156cm wide
205cm long
If you want any more specific dimension just ask in the questions. It is HEAVY, its a solid bed pick up is from Avondale, Auckland.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
