The Space Needle is an iconic landmark here. The Space Needle was built in 1961 for the 1962 World’s Fair. It is one of the tallest landmark west of the Mississippi River. The Space Needle is 605 feet high and 138 feet wide. It can withstand winds of up to two hundred miles per hour and even an earthquake of up to 9 magnitude. Visitors can see the entire city on the top of the Space Needle. Mt. Rainier is located just south of the city and visitors can go hiking on the 130 trails located here. There is also a train, wildlife park and a gondola, which will allow you to see the natural beauty of the mountain and the city.
Architectural upholstery for a private residential client
QA Group staff worked with the construction team at Neil Kelly Company to create a corner banquette, completely custom made to fit the client’s unique space and desired look.
The piece was upholstered in genuine leather from Seattle-based interior design and architectural wholesale resource Trammell-Gagne and features a channeled back and stainless steel Plastic-Laminate (P-LAM) toe kick with brushed horizontal grain.
The QA Group team safely hand-delivered and installed the finished product inside the client’s home in the Windermere neighborhood.

Heirloom chair overhaul in Anacortes
Queen Anne Upholstery’s client in Anacortes wanted to spruce up a prized Victorian dining room chair set passed down from her grandmother. The mahogany chairs originated in the 1860s and eventually shipped from England to Calgary by boat. They were then sold at an auction.
Each chair features a beautiful needlepoint seat and back made by the family’s great grandmother, grandmother, and mother. The elaborate design — which was done entirely by hand with no pattern — took a total of five years to complete throughout the early 1900s and the chairs were finished in 1934. We were honored to refinish these beautiful heirloom pieces so the family can continue to enjoy them for years to come!
The bookcase had to first be stripped down to the bare wood, so the antique furniture restoration process could begin. We wanted to bring the original color tone back to the piece, then we applied a heavy duty urethane Satin finish, which would remove all of the deep scratches that was on the piece along with the pen and black marks that were visible. Our furniture repair shop services were exactly what the bookcase needed. Once this step was completed, we repaired and filled any loose and damaged joints, then we replaced glides and the glides were very similar to the original ones that were on the piece. The glass on the bookcase had to be replaced, so we removed the glass and measured to have new glass installed in the piece. We also replaced all the hardware, then repaired the locks on the piece. This antique furniture restoration was very similar to doing a delicate chair refinishing, but with a lot more surface area to pay attention to.
The following day the material for the cushions arrived and our team went to work immediately. We have tons of experience with jobs like this when we do restaurant furniture repair, so it was no problem for us. We made the foam for the cushion thicker as the customer requested this. We can adjust the cushion by making it thinner or thicker depending on what the customer is wanting or needing. We applied the material that the customer requested and our team continued to work long hours to meet the deadline for this project. The team arrived early each day, then stayed late each night. This is nothing new for our team as they always put in 100% for each customer and project. When any customer trusts us with their furniture we treat it as if it were our own, and always going that extra mile to meet and exceed each customer’s requests.
