2 D Describe DN every detail

Note down all measurements, including height, width a and depth. List as much detail as you can about materials i and describe the style of the piece, so put Tasmanian oak sideboard as opposed to timber sideboard.

And 46 per cent of that number say finding a unique piece was the primary motivation. With this in mind, get creative and give your furniture a fresh and unique lease of life. You could try giving it a light sand and a fresh coat of paint, a thorough sand and varnish or even just some new handles.
