Focus On Furniture SA, Mile End
Verified302 reviews
I went furniture shopping this weekend and had such a wonderful experience in-store. Dimi assisted me and truly went above and beyond with her customer service. She was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right pieces rather than just making a sale. It’s rare to encounter service of that calibre — Dimi is an… Read more
absolute credit to the store. Thank you for making what can sometimes be an overwhelming process so enjoyable.
I bought a Torino luxe mattress through focus on furniture at mile end. The sales lady said it was a great mid range mattress. (We also bought a bed frame, another mattress & a couch.) BUT about 6 weeks later i started getting bad back pain, so got weekly physio, nothing changed. 6 months later i added chiro treatments. Absolutely nothing… Read more
helped, every morning i woke up in so much pain.
I did start to notice the mattress going very lumpy, the memory foam wasn't re rising at all. Even when going on holidays for 2 weeks, the mattress still stayed lumpy.
So i rung focus furniture and told them what was happening, they gave me a contact number to ring customer care.
Omg was the gentleman rude, he couldn't care less and was very dismissive.
Kept saying it was normal for mattress to dip and just to keep rotating the mattress (which weights a tonne) and that its all my fault that i don't do it properly.
Its suppose to have 10 years warranty :(
And yes, i rotated the mattress regularly and also i am a fit, healthy, 62kg female.
Then i started kinesiology treatment and pilates twice a week, water aerobics, still nothing is helping my back.
Fast forward 2 years later its still just as bad.
I definitely need a new mattress theres nothing left to try, but which one?
I don't want to waste more money.
I know one thing is for sure, i will NOT be buying another mattress through focus on furniture because of the nasty after care service.
Also the delivery drivers were pretty rude, they rocked up outside the time they said they were coming, and so charged us again to come back :(
Purchased 8 Kobe leather dining chairs. Love the product, very comfy on your back, great value on special for leather chairs. Great customer service. Recommend.

Quality, range and best of all Customer service from Dimitra! Show details
What fantastic service we received by nice friendly knowledgeable staff. We saw the lounge setting we liked, received a further discount on the already great price and arranged to have it delivered. Two days later we were back to choose a great coffee table we spotted online. It was a bonus that they could both be delivered together. We received … Read more
constant delivery updates on delivery day and it arrived on time, in perfect condition and was brought inside for us and placed in the lounge room. It was simple and easy to assemble with help from the neighbour. The lounge is just so comfortable, great quality leather and the recliner is just perfect for passing the afternoons away reading. A truly great experience. No hesitation at all in recommending them
Great selection of lounges and we had a great salesman who was very helpful and went out of his way to get it delivered to us before Christmas. Show details

Focus on Furniture has become our first port of call when we are looking for good quality, modern and stylish furniture for our home. My husband and I have bought several pieces from Mile End store and since our first purchase we have actively sought out Dimi to serve us. Her product knowledge is extremely good and we have never felt pressured to… Read more
buy as she doesn’t hover over us. Dimi maintains a presence from a short distance & gives us an opportunity to have a private discussion with each other but is close enough if we have any queries. She just knows how to do things right for the customer. We like the way the stores are laid out, giving us insight to how rooms can look. Prices are affordable and we have had a lot of positive feedback from friends and family who have seen our purchases. We just love everything we have bought from Focus on Furniture.
Terrible quality do not buy from this company. The sofa we purchased started pilling under 12 months. I specifically asked in store about the fabric and they told me it would not happen and very hard wearing, not true. I asked for a manager to inspect my sofa, they refused. You will get a hard sell, don’t fall for it. Ill never buy from this company again.
Robert the salesman offered good advice without any pressure and was pleasantly and politely spoken, he also mentioned the product was in stock and can be delivered soon. Show details

Cheerful, accurate service by the gentleman in the store. Payment options were appreciated. No fuss collection from depot. The table I purchased assembled easily and is exactly as promised. A terrific experience.
I had a positive overall experience with this store. The website was easy to navigate, and I was able to find what I was looking for without any difficulty. I was satisfied with the range of products available, as there were plenty of options to choose from to suit different needs and styles. The quality of the product I purchased met my… Read more
expectations and feels sturdy and well made for the price.
I assembled the furniture myself and found the instructions clear and easy to follow, making the process straightforward.
Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and would consider shopping here again.
We went to the Mile end store and were served by Dimi. She was so helpful and her customer service was exceptional. She went the extra step to ensure we had all the information we required and we bought a beautiful leather lounge from her. We had been to other furniture stores and their staff were nothing like Dimi. We are so happy with the lounge and the great customer service we received. Show details

Hi there, Small preamble, I used the "Raise Support ticket" on the fourth of May and heard no response, so I thought I would take what I wrote there and send it again, this time expecting a response. This email was sent on the 21st of May, still with no response. Hi there, I ordered four chairs, a round table and a coffee table back in mid… Read more
November of 2024 with Focus on from the Mile end store. I was thrilled to put in a purchase and get these items into my new house as soon as possible. I was given 1-2 weeks for the tables and mid February for the chairs. I did indeed go and collect my tables at the end of November, but I just collected my chairs on Thursday, the 1st of May.
Whilst I knew there would be a delay in this purchase, the communication and compensation I have received since February when I was hoping to collect my chairs has been poor. I called the store in mid March as I had not heard a single thing. No emails, no messages and no calls about continued delays. Upon calling, I waited on hold and then left my number for someone to call me back, which no one did, so I called again the next day only to be told there are actually further delays with the chairs, and it would be another few weeks before they were available.
I visited in store to definitely confirm there was still a delay where I saw the chairs were actually still being advertised on the floor for sale. I was told I couldn't simply have those, even at full price.
I called at the beginning of April, only to finally now be offered the opportunity to select some different chairs if I wanted, but not from the store I shopped at, as this was closed. I still hadn't received any communication from anyone about the continued delays, other than communication I initiated. Your store held my money for those chairs for an extra 2 months with no updates or compensation offered at all. Upon receiving my call that the chairs were ready, delivery was not offered, no discount was offered, not even a store voucher. There was never the opportunity to be given some loan chairs in the meantime. Sure, I had bought the table, but I still had no way to sit there because I had no chairs. It felt as though I would never receive my product, let alone ever see the money I had paid for it as the mention of a refund was the only time I was finally offered the opportunity to purchase different chairs.
Whilst the products I have received meet the expectations I had from what I saw in store, the lack of even offering for free delivery on more than a two month delay is, to me, appalling.
Service in store was fine, poor communication after sale. Waiting over 3 months for an item and paying added handling costs for a service that was not provided. No apology from store for multiple mistakes. State manager showed no empathy for error. One of the 4 products was of poor condition and needed to adjust myself. Have purchased multiple… Read more
products over the years and will not ever step foot in a focus store and will tell family and friends to steer away.
Horrific customer service – We had a large order (>$10,000) and paid an initial deposit of $2000 as the salesman told us it was fine to pay the remainder on delivery. At the delivery the driver was incredibly rude (enough to make my finance cry) and told us we would not be able to make the payment using our phones. I had to drive to my old house and get my cards to try and… Read more
make the payment but we were only allowed 15 minutes and the driver was not patient enough to allow us the time required to solve the problem. The driver left without delivering our goods and caused major issues for our move in. The response from focus was equally disappointing. They were unsympathetic and unwilling to admit any fault and find an adequate solution. The ‘best’ solution we could come to was me driving to the store same day (1hr round trip) and making the final payment +$80 delivery fee for next day delivery. Expect the sales people to be nice but it’s all a front for poor customer service once you have made payment.

This was our first time visiting Focus on Furniture, and the experience was genuinely pleasant from start to finish. The service stood out, even when we were a bit unsure and confused, the staff (Dimi) was patient and took the time to help us properly. Dimi was fantastic. She went through our floor plan and measurements with us and explained… Read more
everything clearly, which really made a difference.
The whole experience felt easy, supportive, and stress-free. It’s not always you come across such helpful and accommodating service, especially when making big decisions like furniture shopping. We really appreciated the time and effort they gave us.
Highly recommend visiting, especially if you’re after guidance and friendly service!
I checked out heaps of places while looking for a new lounge — saw all sorts of options, but Focus On stood out by far. The quality is excellent, there’s a great variety of products, and the customer service is next level. They don’t rush you at all — you can properly test everything, and they actually help you find what works for you. Super… Read more
friendly and relaxed vibe, which makes a big difference.
Honestly, after seeing so many other stores, this one’s a no-brainer. I’ll definitely be going back. Highly recommended.
Great products, we were served by a very knowledgeable staff member, he was honest, went over and above explaining the product, quality, etc in detail. The cost was far better than the other furniture stores in the complex. It was delivered on time by friendly guys, no fuss & with a smile. Very happy with our Tasmanian Oak sideboard, looks great in our beach house!! Cheers Show details
I was looking for a couch for a small space. I found what I was looking for after looking at the options available. The service was good without being pushy. Looking forward to delivery in September. Show details

We had a great experience at Focus on Furniture in Mile End. Dimi was incredibly helpful while we were choosing a couch for our new home. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. We also left with stain protection for peace of mind. Highly recommend Dimi for anyone looking for quality service and furniture! Show details
Excellent service and quality products! – I tried to order 2 items online but had an issue completing it so phoned the store. He couldn’t have been more helpful. He resolved the issue (of availability) and completed the order easily and in good humour. The delivery came within the expected timeframe, very good quality and very well packed too. As a bonus, minimal assembly required!! Couldn’t fault the process from beginning to end (apart from painful online ordering)
Good Purchase – Went into the store just to look at options but on sighting the unit we fell in love with it. It is comfortable to seat on, trendy fabric pattern and beautiful color to choose from. The purchase was seamless and delivered third day after purchase, this may vary if you’re building your unit to your spec. We were assisted by Dimi, she's amazing. She… Read more
provided us with hands on information about this unit and was ready to help throughout our visit to the store. I recommend and hope you like this unit as much as we do.
Customer service which went above and beyond – We were so impressed by the service we received at Focus on Furniture Mile End. This was our first time in a Focus on Furniture store. Our experience was so positive with the sales person who served us that next time we are shopping for furniture we will not hesitate to shop at Focus on Furniture first. So happy with the couch we purchased, delivered promptly and very impressed with the quality.
Excellent customer service – The sales assistant (Dimi) was very patient and allowed us time to go thru various options whilst we decided and settled on the couch in leather with LH chaise and RH recliner. Delivered as informed within the stipulated time frame. Easy to assemble. Very happy with the purchase. Went back to purchase some other items.
Very happy customer. Service was exceptional and the product was better high quality and easy to put together – Excellent service and very affordable! Great quality! Easy to put together, very solid! Show details

Great furniture, great delivery, great deal! – We received excellent, friendly service from Peter at Gepps Cross. It was great to be able to see the furniture range in the well layed out display. We are delighted with our new bedroom suite and lounge / dining furniture. Looks great and is of solid construction. There was minor construction required by us but it was not difficult to do. Thank you Focus on Furniture! Show details
Happy client – Dimi helped us with our purchase of our table and chairs. She was the friendliest and most professional sales assistant we have dealt with in a very long time. She wasn’t pushy, but extremely helpful and knowledgeable making it easy for us to make our decision. I will certainly be recommending her to anyone I know who may be looking to buy furniture.
