McGlashan Bros

Over the years I have purchased wardrobes, side tables and chairs from McGlashan’s during periods of redecorating one house and then moving to another and they have been a reliable source of good quality used furniture.
McGlashan is a family business and have been dealing in furniture for the past 55 years, a true passion seen in their desire to stock and restore quality made furniture. The shop is huge with their repair warehouse section out the back and also being a receiving and delivery point.
To give you an idea of the brands they enjoy dealing with are Noblett, Parker, Chiswell, Sellicks and I’d say Eames has passed through their hands to be sure.
Just imagine the grand homes of Prospect, Unley, North Adelaide and the like, all will have some marvelous pieces and if not passed down in the family, may eventually make their way here and live on in someone else’s home.
Cedarwood, Mahogany, Oak, Blackwood, Maple and even Huon Pine are just some of the types of wood the furniture is made of and manufactured with traditional methods, a rarity nowadays and completely out of reach for the average wage earner.
Prices can vary from affordable to sugar daddy no holds barred, so if you’re in the market for furniture especially for an older home, this is a good place to visit. Plus delivery costs are reasonable.

If you are looking for BEAUTIFUL old furniture, which has been lovingly restored this is definitely the place to be. The store on Prospect Rd is ENORMOUS and has some really, really great pieces. I stopped in there to have a squiz at the possibilities of some new furniture for when I move into a new house in the next few weeks.
Unfortunately, almost everything in the store was out of my student budget but I couldn’t help but admire the furniture. There was almost everything you could find a use for in a home, from drawers, bedside tables and a great range of dining room tables. If you have a really huge family this would be a great place to look as I saw a couple of 10 – 12 seater tables. Not on the cheap side mind you, but polished beautifully with reupholstered chairs.
As soon as I stepped in the store a bell went off which alerted a small old lady who came and asked me if I needed any help. When I said no, she gestured down the stairs where there was a lot more furniture to see. I think this would also be the sort of place that had rotating stock so you might need to check up on it every month or so.
