Gledhill's Vintage Furniture in Santee has operated from the Woodside Avenue industrial corridor since 1996, offering furniture refinishing, restoration, consignment sales, and hands-on woodworking classes at 11316 North Woodside Avenue, Suite B. Ron Gledhill transitioned from finish carpentry to furniture restoration after a career-changing injury, and his shop has since refinished thousands of pieces—the same heirloom and period-furniture clientele that scouts estate finds at Antiques by Futura on Mission Gorge Road. Before relocating to Santee, the business spent 19 years on Adams Avenue Antique Row in San Diego's Normal Heights neighborhood, establishing a reputation for museum-grade surface restoration on Victorian, Art Deco, and mid-century modern case goods. Services cover full chemical stripping, grain filling, stain matching, lacquer and polyurethane topcoat application, veneer repair, structural re-gluing, and hardware restoration on dressers, dining tables, rocking chairs, and buffet cabinets. Small-group refinishing classes teach hobbyists the same solvent-selection and hand-rubbing techniques applied in the production shop, using student-supplied pieces or consignment inventory—a workshop format that parallels the custom upholstery instruction offered by Parkway Bon Bon Upholstery on Prospect Avenue. Consignment pieces rotate through the showroom floor on a commission basis, with inventory skewing toward solid-wood American and European antiques dating from the 1880s through the 1960s.
