Testimonial for Kilmister Furniture Restoration by Elaine Sutherland.

“Tony was happy to collect and deliver furniture once restored to our property. He was easy to deal with and very helpful. The quality of the work was outstanding and the finished product made all our furniture look brand new again at a fraction of the cost.

-Elaine Sutherland

Testimonial for Kilmister Furniture Restoration by Joanne Mooar.

“Awesome service – our tables turned out to be veneer rather than solid oak, which impacted on our options for restoration as the previous stain had seeped into the wood quite deeply. Even so – Tony gave us three options for proceeding. The tables look great – better than when we first purchased them many years ago.

-Joanne Mooar

Testimonial for Kilmister Furniture Restoration by Suzy Hill.

“I am delighted with the beautiful work done on the drop-leaf table and wobbly chairs. They no longer look like they belong in an op-shop! I would have no hesitation recommending Kilmister as the furniture restorers par excellence. Thank you so much.

-Suzy Hill

Testimonial for Kilmister Furniture Restoration by Suzy Hill.

“Absolutely thrilled with the result of my old-fashioned dark stained having been sanded back to its natural oak colouring – it looks like a brand new fashionable table!
Can’t recommend Tony and Ailsa at Kilmisters enough – great service, brilliant price, & fantastic results! Thank you!
