Bayside Quality Furniture Restoration
The workshop customers turn to after other restorers have already said no to their heirloom pieces.
Mitch draws consistent praise for keeping clients informed throughout the job, and multiple customers note they received their pieces back ahead of the quoted schedule. Two reviews do raise concerns about specification mismatches and delays on their respective jobs, so if your project has tight dimensions or a hard deadline, it's worth getting the details in writing and confirming fabric or material availability before drop-off. For heirloom pieces or complex multi-item restorations, the volume of satisfied customers with comparable jobs suggests this workshop is worth a conversation.

About Bayside Quality Furniture Restoration
Mitch and Gavan lead a partnership workshop in Redland Bay that handles genuinely difficult restoration work — the kind other businesses decline. Reviews mention a 100-year-old silky oak chiffonier, a fire-damaged Rosenstengel table, antique carved teak lounge suites, a Yamaha grand piano refinish, and an 80-year-old English oak table shipped from the UK — all taken on and completed. Mitch is the name customers mention most for communication, upholstery work, and managing expectations around timeframes, while Gavan appears in reviews tied to kitchen cabinetry and colour matching. The workshop handles both refinishing and reupholstery in-house, which means they can tackle a complete lounge suite — stripped, repolished, and re-covered — without outsourcing either stage. Pickup and delivery is offered and mentioned positively across multiple jobs, which matters when you're trusting them with a piece that's been in the family for generations. At roughly 19 years in operation, they've accumulated experience with silky oak, teak, cedar, Canadian oak, and Tasmanian oak — the timber variety in reviews alone signals they're not a flat-pack assembly shop.
Best for: restoring high-value heirloom or antique timber furniture, full lounge suite reupholstery, complex multi-piece restorations where refinishing and upholstery need to be done together.

What types of furniture does Bayside Quality Furniture Restoration specialise in?+
Reviews cover an unusually wide range — silky oak chiffoniers, teak lounge suites, cedar bookcases, Canadian and Tasmanian oak dining tables, balloon-back chairs, chaise lounges, and even a Yamaha piano. The workshop handles both the timber refinishing and the upholstery in-house, so they can restore a complete lounge suite — frame and fabric — without splitting the job across two businesses. They appear particularly comfortable with pieces over 50 years old, including family heirlooms and antiques sourced overseas.
Who are the key people at Bayside Quality Furniture Restorations?+
Mitch is the name mentioned most frequently in reviews and is praised specifically for communication, upholstery work, and managing client expectations around timeframes. Gavan appears in reviews connected to colour selection, kitchen cabinetry, and client communication on larger projects. A team member named Jedd is mentioned by a supplier for his technical knowledge around abrasive finishing. Customers describe the overall team as friendly and professional across multiple job types.
How do their turnaround times compare to quoted timeframes?+
Several customers report getting their pieces back ahead of schedule — one was quoted six weeks and received chairs in three, another was quoted six weeks and had a cot and change table delivered in two. That said, two reviews describe jobs that ran significantly longer than expected, with one citing a five-month wait on custom kitchen benches. If your project has a deadline — for example, returning a piece for a family occasion — it's worth raising that upfront and getting a confirmed window in writing.
Does Bayside offer pickup and delivery?+
Yes — pickup and delivery is mentioned positively across multiple reviews, including for large or heavy pieces. One customer highlighted how convenient it was that the team also removed old furniture as part of the service. For fragile or high-value antiques, customers describe the handling as careful and reliable. It's worth confirming availability and any associated cost when you get your quote.
What should I clarify before dropping off my furniture?+
Two reviews mention issues with fabric availability and custom specifications — one found that a chosen fabric wasn't in sufficient stock once work began, and another reported that custom benches weren't built to the exact dimensions requested. To avoid surprises, it's worth confirming in writing that your chosen fabric or timber is physically in stock, specifying dimensions with measurements rather than verbal descriptions, and asking about the current queue before committing to a deadline. Most customers don't report these issues, but the precautions are simple.
