The only thing that i would have done with those manhole covers would have been to join them,power coat them,put glass on top,a fabulous wooden base and large metal wheels. What a coffee table. Jusf wowww. What he did with them them was beyond horrendous.
The item that Sarah and the young man didn't know what it was is called a gentleman's valet, shoes were on the bottom the suit was hung over the coat-hanger section, the tie and hat would be placed on the oval piece, what a find.
My grandpa had one similar, with a wooden tray for keys and cuff-links. It was so Nanny could put his clothes out for him early, before she went to work.
I actually cried out when I saw perfectly good dishware and cannisters just being smashed in that dumpster....just because their owner didnt want them. Im sure someone just setting up housekeeping could have used them. Especially since money is tight today.
There should be a charity shop at each of these dumps, where you could donate all the things, that could still be of use! Its actually insane to just throw out perfectly nice things, like that 😑
I agree, at least let ppl have the chance to grab things before they get crushed. Maybe, as the cars bring stuff to the recycle centre, let ppl have the chance to save them before entering the centre.
Where I'm from, people leave such things on the curb for garbage pickup. Once at the curb, the things legally belong to the town. The town's garbage collectors take the things away; the department sells them, and uses the money raised to fund the garbage collection service, which lowers our municipal taxes.
I liked the purple and green (but the green should have been gloss) but not that nasty white strip on the backs. That ruined it. There was nothing high-end classy about it at all.
I'd use the metal covers to make an awesome planter. I'd put it in my yard , by adding wood in the just a frame one, dont need a bottom, roots need space 😁 I also would have just cleaned the chairs, leaving them as they were.The suit stand was in gorgeous condition, Glad she let it be what it is .They should just paint the mirror gaps in the same color as the top.
Those man holecovers, just clean then, paint them a brass or copper color and they are perfect in someone's garden walk way or as a wonderful garden chair(s).
Saw this long ago. Remember Sarah trying to flog the suit stand without success. Can't help but wonder what Kev in Scotland would have done with the drainage covers. The chairs are quirky but fun.
The best recycling plant that i saw was in East Hampton, NY. All large items were put under a large roof instead of a skip. The area was always empty and clean,because just as soon as someone put something there,someone else would collect it. Quite frankly to throw such lovely items in a skip is heartbreaking and wasteful.
The light green paint on the chairs didn't work imo. All they needed was to be recovered top and bottom in a nice 50s print like Hawaiian pink flowers with green foliage in a heavy upholstery material.
Great show! There’s so much creativity involved & this craft people are extremely talented & skilled!! ❓I wonder why people can’t just offer up their old chairs, because someone can always use them, after a good clean, restoring them or transforming them into something different? ❓How is it possible that there isn’t a RECYCLING SECTION at this dump lot? Or an Artist supply lot for Art Students & Professional Artist to access & use??
Why would they throw such nice items like the chairs in trash, donate them to charity. I can believe the amount of good items that are trashed here at this dump.
Sara, ❤️ Please be sensible while selecting the junk for reusable purpose‼️ Do not Insult work mens skill by presenting them stuff which has no potential.‼️ Like manhole cover for vanity❓ who would literally use one tone desk top with uneven surface ❓
I was seeing the chairs recovered in leather--- or perhsps suede! But a bright, fire engine red leather would have been stunning! And gone with the wood frames nicely! But purple and light sage green???! Really!!!????? (NO!!! JUST, NO!!!!!) BUT THE WALL PAPERED BOTTOMS WERE A NICE TOUCH!!!
Nowhere in the Western world are you going to find someone to powder coat steel slabs for 100 quid. 50 pounds to completely restore 2 chairs is absurd. More like 500.
@@edelweiss9460 Even 10 yrs. ago. I had a single chair reupholstered and it cost me $200 and I provided the fabric. More than 10 yrs ago. Lol. True about the buyers. Those things are horrendous. They should have just made them garden tables and painted them green. Would look cool.
The transformed manhole covers were horrific, but Sara nearly always picks up rubbish from the tips, that should remain as rubbish - I had seen this one many years ago but watched again out of curiosity......thanks for psoting
They would have made a much better coffee table if they were painted black, on a dark wood base with drawers and industrial handles and strong wheels, and with a heavy glass top.
I Agee that it’s about showing the value of what the person was about to trash it’s an important component if it wasn’t a show she would profit that but it’s a full circle to make more people understand that you shouldn’t throw away something that another person could use or profit from, great concept! ❤
I can never get over what horrible taste Jay ( the Chair & Upholstery guy) has . His colors are always garrish and somewhat trashy ... 50's retro in frosty mint and purple and cream gimp ? Seriously ???
You can tell she's not from the USA. YOU go and tell people someone was going to put the suit rack in the trash trash. And then want to sell it you just made that person think it's worthless so they don't want to give you anything for it. It's obvious in good shape. You don't need to tell them it was going in the trash. Not good when you want to sell something.
I kind of feel like the people that whine about "such great items going into the trash" MUST be hoarders. If you aren't going to USE, makeover, have tried to sell, and have been unable to...what the hell ELSE are your options? Disclaimer...this is an OLD Show. They may have other avenues in which to post freebies on the sidewalk at this juncture. In California, USA, I can post freebies or "for sale" locally, and they're gone IMMEDIATLY. 2024
Happy to see Sarah didn't go to Becks and David for this manhole project but she still managed to get a sky high price for the project. Jay as usual disappoints using ugly colors on classic furniture. He ruined them really. And why didn't Sarah advertise the suit stand online? Anyone would have paid double what she got. Sorry, not the best transformations I've seen in this program.
I didn't liked this episode, sorry! It is a shame those chairs sold out for just £110, thats is the value whitout make over. The first item did not get a make over 😢. I didn't liked the tree things with mirror, the idea was nice but turn out simple and put color was not a good idea for me. I think was to expensive to make it so simple. I missed a wow!
The only thing that i would have done with those manhole covers would have been to join them,power coat them,put glass on top,a fabulous wooden base and large metal wheels. What a coffee table. Jusf wowww. What he did with them them was beyond horrendous.
Agreed!
I love the creativity of this channel! Carry on and keep on inspiring!!!
I want to be her new best friend!
I absolutely love Jay Blades! He has such an eye! People who watch Repair Shop don’t know what an artist he is.
I love what you're doing. Taking junqueing to a whole new level. Bang on, gal!!
The item that Sarah and the young man didn't know what it was is called a gentleman's valet, shoes were on the bottom the suit was hung over the coat-hanger section, the tie and hat would be placed on the oval piece, what a find.
My elderly English Dad still has his. All my life it stood in his bedroom. Everyday when Dad came home from the office, he hung up his suit on it.
My grandpa had one similar, with a wooden tray for keys and cuff-links. It was so Nanny could put his clothes out for him early, before she went to work.
I'd forgotten I'd seen this one a long time ago, so it was a refresher watching it again!
I actually cried out when I saw perfectly good dishware and cannisters just being smashed in that dumpster....just because their owner didnt want them. Im sure someone just setting up housekeeping could have used them. Especially since money is tight today.
Exactly. There should be an area where they can put such things where they won't get broken.
Charity shop could of sold them lots of people in need would love to have them and makes money for all kinds of charities p.
I was cringing too !! 😠

I think they have an area for that I seen on a previous show

Charity shops have limited space and they only take on items that are instantly usable without doing anything to them.

Wouldn’t be good for ~~ capitalism ~~~.
I would have put a glass top on the metal covers/tables--- to even out the irregular surface!
I adore the chairs 💜💚💙
I love this show!!!
I must not be in style, the chairs were lovely and would be nice with a grey or tan covering, but purple and green. 😮😮
I liked the purple and green (but the green should have been gloss) but not that nasty white strip on the backs. That ruined it. There was nothing high-end classy about it at all.
Agreed. I think if they would have been restored, they would be more valuable. Mid century modern in good shape is quite expensive.
Color assault on those once beautiful chairs. Hideous
I'd use the metal covers to make an awesome planter.

Wouldn't the manhole covers be awfully sharp on the corners?
Love you Sara!
Those man holecovers, just clean then, paint them a brass or copper color and they are perfect in someone's garden walk way or as a wonderful garden chair(s).
Saw this long ago. Remember Sarah trying to flog the suit stand without success. Can't help but wonder what Kev in Scotland would have done with the drainage covers. The chairs are quirky but fun.
I'm so sad about those chairs. They were so beautiful before. Painting the wood??? So sad

ROB....my man ❤!
I really liked everything except the chairs….very disappointed in his idea….I love him in the show The Repair Shop.
What is a pink note
The light green paint on the chairs didn't work imo. All they needed was to be recovered top and bottom in a nice 50s print like Hawaiian pink flowers with green foliage in a heavy upholstery material.
The dude with the 2 chairs in his trunk/boot looks dead on a Gibb brother! 😂
The chairs turned out less grotesque than I expected. Still very shrill, though.
I actually like the chairs how they looked originally not liking the new color at all

When is she coming to D.C? We don’t have a grandma here baking for us.
Sara, ❤️
Please be sensible while selecting the junk for reusable purpose‼️
Do not Insult work mens skill by presenting them stuff which has no potential.‼️
Like manhole cover for vanity❓ who would literally use one tone desk top with uneven surface ❓
I was seeing the chairs recovered in leather--- or perhsps suede!
But a bright, fire engine red leather would have been stunning! And gone with the wood frames nicely!
But purple and light sage green???! Really!!!?????
(NO!!! JUST, NO!!!!!)
BUT THE WALL PAPERED BOTTOMS WERE A NICE TOUCH!!!
I agree 100%. Just awful!
Nowhere in the Western world are you going to find someone to powder coat steel slabs for 100 quid. 50 pounds to completely restore 2 chairs is absurd. More like 500.
This was at least ten years ago, don't forget. What's more absurd is finding a buyer to pay 500 each for those Vanity tables.
@@edelweiss9460 Even 10 yrs. ago. I had a single chair reupholstered and it cost me $200 and I provided the fabric. More than 10 yrs ago. Lol. True about the buyers. Those things are horrendous. They should have just made them garden tables and painted them green. Would look cool.
Only if you count South Africa as Western world.

Also - I’m shocked that the announcer said each month 800 Tons of material is dumped at this 1kocatiin😬😬😱😱!!!
Paying people for something they gave away is stupid.
Why? It’s what makes the show enjoyable. Plus, it makes ppl look twice at old stuff they think has no value.
I Agee that it’s about showing the value of what the person was about to trash it’s an important component if it wasn’t a show she would profit that but it’s a full circle to make more people understand that you shouldn’t throw away something that another person could use or profit from, great concept! ❤

You're absolutely right! That's wasn't very wise or intelligent on her part.
Me not liking how the chairs were styled, sorry.
Not money down the drain,
But metal I. The land waste
This is first series maybe, when Sarah had short hair.

We had a super recycle store. The landlord raised the rent, so it closed 😢😢

The green is awful. Restoration and loud upholstery would have better than any paint. Someone has to take that paint off eventually.
I didn't liked this episode, sorry!

Sorry Jay, but your color sense is totally off.
Chairs had worst make over
