Restored Retro

Restored Retro is a furniture restoration shop on Kingland Crescent in central Poole and dogs are welcome inside. Tucked into the Dolphin Centre's dog-friendly retail corridor, the shop specialises in restored and vintage furniture—think lovingly revived pieces rather than flat-pack filler—and the browsing is genuinely interesting even when you're not mid-project.

Your dog can pad around the showroom with you while you weigh up a mid-century sideboard or chat through a custom restoration. The shop is part of the Dolphin Centre's wider dog-friendly retailer scheme, which means you and your four-paws can explore a whole stretch of Poole's indoor shopping without the usual juggling act.

If you're combining dog errands with a proper furniture hunt—or just enjoy a wander through well-curated vintage stock—Restored Retro is a practical, characterful stop in the heart of town. Parking is via the Dolphin Centre.
