Selling my lovely king size antique bed frame, with a rather heavy heart! Only selling because I now bedshare with my little girl on a floor bed and I can’t see that ending anytime soon, and then if we have another… well, it could be years! And we don’t have the space to keep the frame until then.

This is an antique frame with some quirks. It’s the old fashioned type with poles that slot into the head and foot on either side and then hold a box frame on top for the mattress. When it’s assembled the foot does rest at a slight forward slant, this doesn’t affect the bed at all, it’s still very sturdy and doesn’t move or creak.

The second quirk is that part of the slot for the side pole on the right of the headboard snapped off, and this point is now held up with a clamp. This was our DIY solution and it works great! The clamp is included with the bed! Also that side of the bed was in the corner of our room so the clamp wasn’t visible.

The frame is quite heavy, the box part of it is very heavy and you’ll need two people to move it. As it’s a king size you’ll most likely need a van.

So, if you are interested in a BEAUTIFUL bed, with some quirks, please let me know. Collection is from SE15 near Warwick Gardens.

  But they were going to cut down a tree that had no notice on it ? Either way thank goodness people intervened. My total lack of confidence in Southwark tree dept is justified it would seem…

  Hopefully the confusion won’t lead to injury.

  To clarify a few points- I didn't just happen to be passing, I saw the workmen setting up equipment worryingly close to the tree from my front window, so put my shoes on and headed over there as quickly as possible just in case. Unfortunately they had already lopped a few branches off in the two minutes it took me to get there. Although I didn't see them attach a notice, the wording on the notice pictured above has the same terminology that they used with me - fungal brackets - so presumably it was them. I have no idea who removed the sign, or why. Also worth mentioning that they were third party contractors, carrying out work orders from the council. I'm a bit confused by the 'mistaken tree' comments, as Councillor Renata Hamvas posted on a Facebook thread that she had raised the issue with the relevant council officers, and that the response she received is that the tree does have a fungal infection. So there seems to be conflicting info there, and I'm concerned that the tree is still in danger.

  To be fair, do we know who put the notice on the wrong tree? The people wielding chainsaws almost certainly won't be the experts who identify the problems with the trees? They just go along and hack down what they're told to hack down? I might be wrong, but whilst actual tree surgery needs expertise, I wouldn't have thought hacking down a whole tree did? Apart from knowing how to use a chainsaw, obviously.
