There are two units, each with these dimensions:

Height 1906mm
Depth 527mm
Width 900

These would have cost many hundred to buy.

The top compartment has a fold-down cover (the right-hand one in the photos has been closed).

The centre compartment can house a screen and there is a pull-out tray for the keyboard/mouse

The bottom compartment is split vertically into two open shelves for filing boxes etc.

They have served as garage shelving for us but with a bit of a wipe will be useful in an office environment.

If you want these please text me on 021 879 647. Please don't reply using the neighbourly messages. The winner must commit to collecting these units today (Wednesday) or at the very latest tomorrow. You can inspect them if you wish, but that would need to be this afternoon.

They are very sturdy, quite heavy and there is no way you will get them in a car. A trailer or large van will be required, plus some human power to load/unload them. They can be collected up until 6pm tonight, or from 10am tomorrow.
