Bryan Booth’s

Philosophy

Environmentally Sound Products

“The best furniture already exists. When you make a purchase at Bryan Booth Fine Furniture Antiques & Restoration you are investing in the Hilo community. We acquire more than ninety percent of our products in Hilo, we restore it in Hilo and we sell it in Hilo. Our furniture was made some time ago. Life has happened around these items. The trees are gone but the furniture remains.”

“Take stewardship of this legacy and lessen your footprint!”

Bryan Booth’s Story

“Having grown up on Oahu during the 70’s I have always considered Hawai’i my home. Circumstances found me in Connecticut where I met my lovely wife Kathy and learned to restore while working with some of the finest furniture that exists.

There have been many incredibly talented teachers in my life, each adding to the recipe from which our store has emerged. How fortunate that I was able to bring some of their knowledge home in service to this community that we love so dearly and to the history that lies within.

Kathy is a first grade teacher in one of our public schools and our son, a child of the land, is at university in Manoa. Our roots grow deeper every day.

When we acquire a piece of furniture, more often than not it’s next stop is the trash. Applying the gifts bestowed upon me, we bring it back to a state of function and beauty so that it can be enjoyed by this and future generations.”

“Please join us as we preserve history…
one piece at a time!”
