AI reviews summary
Customer feedback for Adairs reveals a significant divide between highly praised individual service interactions and systemic operational failures. While frontline staff and online chat representatives are frequently commended for their professionalism and efficiency, the brand faces substantial criticism regarding logistics, order fulfilment, and strict return policies for bedding.
Pros
Cons
Verdict
Adairs is a strong choice for consumers who value stylish home decor and high-quality in-person or chat-based service. However, the experience is often undermined by unreliable online fulfilment and rigid return policies on bedding, making it a higher-risk option for large furniture orders or those sensitive to strict "no-return" clauses.
What a sensational company to deal with. I've had brilliant service in every one of their stores I've been to in Perth Metro area. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and couldn't be more helpful. 10 outta 10 Adairs ! Show details
I spoke to Katelyn online and she helped me within 5 minutes to get my welcome voucher that has not arrived with my Linen lovers membership. So fast, so helpful, so unusual these days!! Very happy Show details

Adore the Washed Linen denim with white piping duvet set matched with deep chocolate sheets. Thanks to Stacey for helping me throughout the shipping process.
Poor customer service, they take your money but then the orders can’t be fulfilled due to system limitations, and you wait ages for a refund. Also be prepared to receive damaged items purchased online. Avoid Adairs!!!! Try: Pillow Talk, Bed Bath n Table, Sheridan, Freedom Show details
I have brought adairs confort collection all seasons doona advised by the lady at dfo and i can say it is the best quilt i have ever owned for this price point. Show details
Purchased a set of the worlds softest chocolate sheets. After washing them 4 times in cold water and hanging them in the shade this is the result. After contacting customer service I was advised that the washing detergent I used was to blame as it has optical whitener in it. CONSUMERS BEWARE: most detergents do and if they don't they are for… Read more
sensitive skin, which supposably is also an issue, so what do you wash them in particlarly when none of your other washing has faded. I have been a long time customer and member of Adairs but not anymore.
I ordered a double bed sheet set for my daughter’s birthday, when it was delivered today I received a cot quilt cover set instead - I absolutely have no use for a cot anything in my house! I jumped on Adairs chat and the lovely Katelyn was quick to get my actual ordered re-posted and let me keep the cot set to gift to a friend. Mistakes happen and I am super pleased with the service! Thanks Adairs and thanks Katelyn! Show details
My positive review is as a result of the professional assistance provided by [Name Removed], who I finally reached after some time of phoning a store and obtaining a contact number and who deserves 5 stars for her kind and friendly service after some considerable time in finding that contact phone number. This not provided on the invoice or order,… Read more
given the invoice provided only an address. [Name Removed] sorting the issue of incorrect sizing of sheets compared to order which before laundering, was discovered while inspecting the wider elastic on the fitted sheet?? While I had ordered king size sheets, which were delivered promptly, on unpacking found that while the outer stated KING SIZE on both sides of the cloth envelope in which they were enclosed ,both the sheets inside were labelled Q for Queen?
As mentioned to [Name Removed] who was most understanding, required repackaging in original state to a satisfactory standard , chasing up information, sending photos, and generally being incovenienced in returning products can be difficult and time consuming. Having ordered many items online over years given we live in rural Australia ( mainly from USA) with little hassle am beginning to think it is a quality assurance issue for products made and packaged overseas in China, as have been caught a few times in recent years and am wondering if and when our essential products will again be made within Australia.
Previously we have never had issue with sheets not being the correct size ordered let alone not same as stated on packaging prior to opening, and unless possessing an extra deep mattress so to order extra large, standard size errors however today seems more commonplace. As we did not require extra queen sheets for a spare bed used by occasional visitors cannot comment on how they would wash and wear. [Name Removed] arranged a prompt refund after phone contact for which I am very grateful . Thank you [Name Removed]. The thought is, what happened to wuality assurance, and how many other sets sold need to be checked before sale or depatch given some employee obviously packaged them incorrectly but minus either care and/or overview? Being made overseas suggests to me that they were also packaged same. Also Adairs needs a phone number on their invoices or an email other than a NO REPLY which also seems increasingly common these days!
We ordered some sheets which were fine and promptly delivered. BUT they came in a large box which was 75% filled with bubble packing! Firstly this was not needed (do sheets in their own packaging really need to be protected by bubble wrap??) Secondly this was very non-sustainable - the box was unnecessarily large and the bubble wrap very hard (impossible?) to recycle.
Anjuna six chest drawers amazing made from mango wood very natural looking all you have to do is put the legs on the bottom. The draws are spacious a great entertainment unit for TV lamp etc.
Extremely disappointed at how a fragile item was packed. A vase was left in a big box with no wrapping or cushioning. Item was damaged of cause.
Rouse Aidairs I was really disappointed today..I got a quotation of bedding stuff $609.My stuff was put on hold while I had gone to get the money.I then received an email that you have got more 20% percent off which was going to take my bill to about $400.To my surprise,they then said we didn’t scan properly now your bill is even higher to… Read more
$700 including the 20% off.
What a terrible service and a cheap scam trick!!!! Really disappointed…not even an effort of compromise for their terrible customer service.

This side table doesn’t appear as advertised in the photo on Adairs website. The photo on the website shows a rich coloured side table, the one we received looks beige. I wouldn’t have bought this if I had seen it in store.
When they made Edwina GeeGee they threw away the mould!! Service and Sales superstar. We have been shopping with Adairs for many years now, but never find ourselves having so much fun (and spending way more than we should) when Edwina's in Store. She works hard and always has time for a laugh and to offer a belly rub to Bonnie. We used to shop at the Moorabbin store, but now we will make the extra trip to Brighton if she's working!

Ordered a planter pot online from Adairs - it came in such a bad state - dirty with about 10 chips in it (some of the chips were actually chunks missing and the underlying concrete showing). Why does Adair's think it is ok to send items in an obviously damaged state? They just sully own brand and create additional stress and work for the… Read more
customer. When you email your complain you don’t know if they have received your complaint as there is no acknowledgement email.

Had a Linen Lovers enquiry. Katelyn was amazing. She was able to sort the problem very quickly and with ease. It was great to interact with a human that was so happy to help. Thanks Katelyn. :)
Follow-up · This was in relation to an online order. Was not coming up with linen lovers discount at checkout. Was told to log out and log back in again and it worked. I hadn’t thought of that! it was very easy to get help and that simple piece of advice.
I bought 2 single quilt covers 2 years ago from Adairs and I have just thrown them in the bin as they have faded badly and thinned so much that there are holes in one. It makes me very reticent to buy from them again as their products are not cheap. Very disappointed. Show details
Follow-up · They were washed in a normal cold water wash. I'm pretty sure the fabric was cotton.
I had an issue with one of the items I purchased online and phoned Adairs and spoke to Paula. She has sorted it all out for me. Quickly and easily. Thanks Paula
Follow-up · Hi all resolved, got sent a replacement no problems at all

Katelyn gave best advice, easy to follow. Fixed my problems. Believe me, I always need a lot of easy instructions on fixing Internet problems. Saved me having a stressful morning.
They (Adairs and Allied Express) were brilliant from the start to finish. Adairs processed my order on the same day and two bulk items(a rug and wall print) arrived from Victoria to Brisbane in 2 days in wet weather. I wasn't expecting this fast as I bought them during the mid year sale. Very happy. Thank you. Show details
Customer service, provided by KATELYN, was super efficient and my new email address was updated in record time. Really appreciated being able to chat live with a rep. Thank you

Bought some towels online from Adairs in mid November 25 and didn’t get to use it until early February 26 as we were staying at a fully furnished place while our house was being renovated. The side of one of the towels was already unraveling and took it back to the store to get a replacement. They said that since we bought it online, we cannot get… Read more
an exchange from the store. All they could do is refund us the original purchase price and then charge us the current price, which is about $10 more. I decided to get the refund as the quality of the product is so inferior that it was not worth it paying extra amount for it. Very poor customer service! Would not buy from them again.
Customer service is awful. I bought an expensive duvet cover for $250 and after one gentle, cold wash cycle the stitching was loose and coming undone from several places in both the pillow cases and quilt cover. I emailed them 15 times from Feb - April, (several times with no reply for weeks) to try and rectify. They offered me a $15 voucher for a… Read more
$250 purchase and then when I tried to escalate blamed me and said I must have washed the cover wrong. Overall the quality is poor and overpriced and customer service is rude, unhelpful or just doesn't respond.
Worst online order experience Worst online order experience. Their errors become your fault. And they expect to drive to stores to fix it. Ok adairs will you pay for my petrol and time? Pathetic, cheap customer service. They are happy to take your money but apparently it's your problem to fix when the product does not arrive

I have a large order delivered and was missing 4 facewashers. I log onto the live chat and spoke with Katelyn who was very accommodating and resolved this issue very promptly. She organised for the missing order to be sent out, this was very helpful, Thanks Katelyn
Most of my home furnishings are from Adairs, and the quality has always been excellent. I have only had one issue out of the 10+ years, which was related to a piece of artwork being delivered and wasn’t directly Adairs’ fault. I reached out to customer service, and Katelyn promptly arranged a replacement. The communication and support were fantastic. I couldn’t fault the experience at all. Show details
Stacey was absolutely amazing to deal with. She resolved my issue quickly and efficiently and even followed up with an email to make sure everything was fully sorted. Excellent service, you made my day Stacey :)
Really appreciate the prompt help from Adairs Staff Stacey, she helped me when I bought and received an Adairs Rug that had a little bit of damage. She kept me updated through email and quickly had a solution to the problem. Much appreciated!!
I purchased 49ers of linen from the Adairs store in Moorabbin and went in feeling unsure of what to get, an amazing sales assistant Michelle helped me with my choices and I’m so happy with what I purchased and the 40% sale was great, the quality and range was really good Show details
