The tables have turned.
We rescue, refurbish, and reimagine furniture, fixtures, and forgotten pieces — built by four San Diego friends with a thing for second chances.
Furniture, refreshed.
Three ways we put old pieces back in motion.
Refurbishment
We take well-loved pieces and bring them back — strip, repair, refinish, reupholster. The bones stay; the soul gets a tune-up.
Custom Builds
Need something specific? We design and build to fit — from one-of-a-kind tables to commercial fixtures and built-ins.
Consultation
Working on a space and not sure where to start? We help with sourcing, layout, and direction — virtual or in-person around San Diego.
Old pieces, new stories.
A few of our favorite turnarounds.
Mid-Century Walnut Credenza
Stripped, refinished, and brought back from the brink with new brass hardware.
Reclaimed Oak Dining Table
Built from salvaged barn beams. Seats six. Tells stories.
Cane-Back Lounge Chair
New cane, new finish, new life. The frame was the easy part.
The tables have turned.
Literally.
Here’s what a turnaround looks like — drag the slider to compare.
Four friends. One workshop.
Tables Have Turned came together when four San Diego locals — Katie, Rain, Max, and Juno — decided their love of the city, the work, and a good before-and-after deserved a workshop of their own.
Got a piece worth saving?
Whether it’s a beat-up dresser from your grandma’s garage or a commercial space that needs custom millwork — we’d love to hear about it.
