3 seater Lounge light grey fabric covered – On entering store was assisted to locate items of interest. Found exactly the lounge I wanted. Happened to be in stock at Melbourne warehouse. Purchased same day & delivered within 7 days. Happy with the quality of this product. Show details
rude/dodgy manager – low quality product, service warranty is nothing but only a joke. no return policy even when item just been received an hour ago and unpacked. avoid them!!! Show details
Dining Table and Chairs – We purchased our dining room table and chairs from Focus on Furniture at Gepps X. After many hours of shopping around and not finding anything we liked, we decided to go to Focus On. We found our table and chairs within 15 minutes of entering the store. The store was lovely and the assistance we received from Ockie was exceptional. He gave us… Read more
great advice on the table helped us better match the chair legs timber to the table. We received our furniture within the 2 weeks of ordering, and we couldn’t be more happier with product, and assembling the table was easy. Would highly recommend Focus on Furniture to anyone.

Please please there are other affordable furniture stores – My drawers came faulty and dangerous. Was fine with a replacement, these things happen but then for them to ask me to return and pick up stock was just a slap in the face. Show details

After Sales Service Appalling! – I would love to say that Focus on Furniture adhere to their satisfaction guarantee but they do not. Yes the product is great, however sadly my property was damaged during delivery and the company has done little to fix the issue. I was offered a menial $150 after having a screaming match on the phone with the State Manager all the while being told… Read more
I was lucky I was getting that (as I had signed the Disclaimer doc so apparently this covers them for ramming furniture into walls!). I have made contact twice with Head Office in Victoria to no avail. Definitely won’t be shopping here again and making sure I tell everyone who will listen to do the same. Disappointing
Love our new furniture – We were very happy with our previous purchase of a leather recliner lounge suite from the Gepps Cross store. Vivian was happy to ensure we got the right lounge for our new house. We found her both professional and extremely friendly. So when we were ready for a new 8 seat dining room suite we visited the same store. Both times we did shop around… Read more
but couldn't find the style and quality we were looking for until we went back to Focus on Furniture. Ok so we did see a similar item elsewhere but for $8k with a six month wait and $4k upfront deposit required but we decided against it. Again we dealt with Vivian and again she did not let us down. We got near enough to the same table and nicer chairs at half the price. To top it off the item was ready two weeks earlier than expected. Ordered December 27th and delivered January 14th. We got exactly the right colour in our solid timber table too. Highly recommend Vivian and the team.
Eden Entertainment Unit – Today I picked up my Eden Entertainment Unit. Absolutely LOVE it. Couldn’t have picked anything more perfect for my living room. I had a great in store experience, it’s always hard to decide on what to purchase in Focus On, as I want to buy EVERYTHING! Despite that, it was the easiest purchase I’ve made to date. Easy to assemble. Great quality for a great price. Could not be happier!!! Show details

it is currently cold and we do not have a bed – We had a very unpleasant experience purchasing a queen bed from a Focus on Gepps cross. The sales representative had informed us that the expected delivery date would be mid-April, so we advertised our old bed for sale around that time. However, we received no updates from the store and had to call their office in Gepps Cross. To our surprise, we… Read more
were told that the bed had been delayed and that it would not arrive until the end of April. We were disappointed that they did not keep us informed of this delay.
We called the store again at the end of April to check on the status of our order, as we had already sold our old bed and were sleeping on the floor. Unfortunately, the customer representative informed us that the bed was further delayed and would not be delivered until mid-May. We were frustrated that we had not received any updates from the store during this time.
We understand that delays can occur, but it is unacceptable for a store to not keep its customers informed. We have had better experiences purchasing furniture from other stores like Amart, Haggle, and Fantastic Furniture. We advise potential customers to stay away from this store if they do not have the furniture available in their warehouse. It has been a very uncomfortable experience for us, as it is currently cold and we do not have a bed.
Excellent service and great products – The sales staff were very helpful without any pressure and were patient and gave us useful suggestions on mixing and matching the furniture. The quality of the furniture is outstanding. This is the best quality furniture we have ever owned and are more than happy. The furniture was delivered and assembled very professionally with a great amount of… Read more

March 28th 2019 Update: Purchase of Furniture
Recently purchased Dining table and chairs, Buffet, Hall Stand and TV cabinet from Focus on Furniture at Gepps Cross. The customer service was excellent without any pressure and they were very patient. The suggestions on mixing and matching furniture was very helpful. The store was well laid out and a great selection for our needs. The quality of our purchase is excellent and the delivery and assembling of the furniture in home was very professional with considerable care taken. We can not fault the overall experience. I would easily recommend them if you want excellent service.
Good quality products worth the price – Purchased in-store a couple of times. Staff are polite and helpful in store. The first purchase I made came within the expected time frame (3-4 weeks). It was a bit frustrating to put together because there were no pre-drilled pilot holes to screw the couch legs into. The couch looks good, the price was decent so we're happy with it. The second… Read more
order I made from there took about 2-3 weeks longer than the expected time frame which was disappointing, especially because we were moving into our new house. We had to be proactive about it and call the store every week for updates which was disappointing. Later on we needed some repairs done to the bed we ordered which took a long time to arrange. It was all fixed in the end though - all the repair people we had were great and got it sorted quickly.
In short - products are good quality for the price, delivery times can be lengthy so just be aware. Staff are very polite but just need to be a bit more proactive following up with customers and keeping them in the loop about delayed deliveries/repairs etc.

Fantastic experience – Excellent customer service both by phone and on pickup. The whole experience was a breeze. We didn’t have to wait very long before it arrived. Was able to pick up without any hassles. We bought the element coffee table and large entertainment unit. Love the colour. Excellent quality. Minimal assembling of the coffee table. Overall, a fantastic experience. Show details
Good job Focus on – Went to the home maker centre Gepps Cross looking for a new lounge! Looked in all furniture stores, but found a nice selection and not over priced lounges at focus on! Service was good not over the top and Greg gave us a good deal, will definitely be going back to focus on in the future Show details

Good customer service, treat everyone well – I have bought the couch and after a week found its sinking means it is not properly firm from one seat and called the company they came to check and said its normal and try to sit different seat everyday. What a customer service. Show details
Unfair practice on delayed delivery – Purchased a couch that they said would arrive end August, and in fact will likely arrive earlier. It hasn't. When I rang they said it won't be till mid-Sept. As this is too late for me I cancelled the purchase but they said my 20% deposit is now a cancellation fee, so i can't get a refund. I think that's an unfair business practice because… Read more
they're the one not holding up their end of the bargain.Also the man who I spoke to regarding the cancellation was quite rude when I was asking about a refund. Never buying here again, will stick with Freedom or Fantastic Furniture for my next purchases as they always deliver on time and have excellent customer service.
Be cautious! – I put a lounge & dining set on order for my new home I was purchasing.. The construction company pulled something on me called the 'sunset clause' (basically they couldn't finish the property build on time so they can rip up the purchase contract and I'm left with nothing after 2 years!) and I explained the situation to focus on at Gepps cross,… Read more
and they still took $580 as a cancellation fee! Almost $600 on nothing! I could understand if it was simply a change of mind, but I am left without a home, trying to pick up my life and now I'm down $600 for absoloutely nothing! They offered a gift voucher for 12 months, however that is useless to me bevause I don't have a home and have no prospects on when I would be able to use that? Potential buyers please be aware of the fine print. I would not recommend this business just on principal alone

Twas perfect before Christmas – We bought the Alfie Bed, and it assembled easily. We were very happy with the service and product & price. The mattress wasn't initially delivered with the bed, however the friendly staff at Dry Creek organised the delivery driver to deliver it same day. A great reflection of staff going out of their way after an initial error to own it We've been sleeping well since.
Perfect Match! – Loving our new Esperance TV Unit! After months of searching we finally found something that matched so well. The quality is excellent and it was so simple to assemble. Greg was very helpful and informative. We will definitely be back to purchase more of the Esperance collection in the future! Show details

Kelsey couch – Love our new couch! The seats are super deep, perfect for watching a movie, and it’s so comfy! Only complaint is when we bought another couch from there 6 years ago, they put it together and took the rubbish, but they don’t do that anymore.

Brilliant customer service – Vivian from Gepps X was my saviour! I went to have a look knowing roughly what I wanted but totally overwhelmed and ready to walk out. Vivian spent over an hour with me looking at the floor plan of my new house- measuring and giving me ideas. She was so patient and helped me beyond what I could have imagined. She has a good eye for decorating too.… Read more
