Nearest one, £130, couldn't resist, "for parts not working" - I'll be the judge
May need a motor and a cap, will see, motor & wiring has been messed about with, mechanically the rest of it is very good.

Paint it grey, stick it on a cabinet and quadruple my money https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265839555984

An office floor

Now onto the neighbour to put the staircase together (typically oversized with 6m stringers from 12x2 cut by the local woodyard).

Then he can start repairing a few slightly rotten bits of the roof before we insulate it all and start plastering / rendering.

[Luggsey]

Will it be strong /safe enough ?
I discounted using one my son in law has given me for bits to play with , as my life changing spinal injuries were occasioned when an office chair meant to hold a 200 kg person collapsed under me at 92 kg .

I've managed to get an old quality leather covered lab scoot stool instead and replaced the main gas strut with one off eBay for about £11 . The stool came off Free cycle .

This one is very solid and heavy, some cheaper ones look spindly though...
