Wollongong Upholstery
There’s a quiet sort of beauty in furniture that’s been well lived-in. A lounge that’s shaped itself around the way you sit. A dining chair with decades of dinners in its frame. At Metreson Upholstery, we restore, rebuild, and reimagine mid-century and antique furniture into timeless, one-of-a-kind pieces. The craftsmanship is traditional. The results are personal.
Our passion lies in returning important furniture keepsakes to their former glory. We help Wollongong locals reimagine what’s possible, honouring each piece’s original integrity, stripping it back, and finishing it with hand-picked, purpose-suited materials. Every chair, cushion or custom upholstery commission is a story retold with craftsmanship, sustainability, and soul.
To start a conversation about your piece, call 0423 435 265. We’ll help you return it to something beautifully familiar, yet entirely new. We offer a pick-up and delivery service at no extra charge for your convenience.

Designed for Longevity
Furniture Upholstery
Furniture carries stories—ours is about bringing those stories back to life. We specialise in antique, mid-century and contemporary restoration, working with designers and clients on bespoke residential and commercial projects.
Lounge Upholstery
Well-made lounge furniture deserves more than a replacement. We restore lounge chairs, sofas, and bench seating with careful structural work, refined materials, and finishes that reflect the piece and its purpose.
Dining Chair Upholstery
Dining chairs see daily wear—our upholstery approach focuses on longevity and character. We restore individual seats or complete sets, enhancing comfort and detail while preserving the original form and design.
Commercial Upholstery
Commercial spaces benefit from thoughtful furniture restoration. We work with hospitality, office and retail clients to reupholster pieces that elevate the space while standing up to daily use and time.
Reupholstery Fabric Quotations
Choosing the right fabric is an essential part of the process. We guide you through performance, texture and tone, helping you select materials that match both the piece and its environment.
Your Furniture Deserves a Second Life
Commissioning a professional upholsterer is a rare opportunity—one that blends design, memory and craft. At Metreson Upholstery, we don’t just restore furniture. We rework it with purpose. Each piece is approached with respect for what it’s been, and a clear vision for what it can become. The process is personal, hands-on and tailored from the first conversation to the final stitch.
Our Process — From Worn to Wonderful
1. The Quotation
Every project begins with a conversation. We talk through the piece, your space, and how you live with it. Whether in our Unanderra studio or remotely, we guide you through a thoughtful selection of fabrics and finishes, helping you make confident, timeless choices.
2. Strip, Assess, Repair
Restoration starts beneath the surface. We strip the furniture back to its frame, checking for structural wear and addressing issues with precision. From webbing to springs, every layer is rebuilt using techniques rooted in traditional upholstery.
3. Rebuild with Purpose
With a strong foundation in place, we rebuild your piece using premium materials and deliberate craftsmanship. Hand-stitched details, layered padding, edge rolls and classic methods all contribute to a final result that balances strength with elegance.
4. Return to Beauty
What leaves the studio is more than restored—it’s redefined. The form is familiar, but the finish is sharper, richer, more enduring. A piece that looks new, but feels like it’s always belonged.

Rooted in Craft, Guided by Purpose
Metreson Upholstery began in 2007 with a single focus: to restore quality furniture with care, craftsmanship and lasting intent. Over the years, what started as a small, family-run workshop has become a trusted name in bespoke upholstery—respected for its precision, patience, and dedication to doing things properly. Each piece that passes through the Unanderra studio is treated as a commission: personal, thoughtful and made to endure.
Our mission is simple—to honour the story behind every piece while helping clients shape what it becomes next. We value detail, resourcefulness and hard work, and we build everything with longevity and integrity in mind. Whether restoring a family heirloom or preparing a new fit-out, our work is never rushed. It’s carefully considered, traditionally executed, and tailored to fit both the space and the person. In a world of fast furniture, we take a slower, better path—one built to last.
