I came into the store looking for a comfortable recliner for my working from home days. The staff were friendly and helpful and, after visiting several stores nearby I found them to be the best value without compromising non quality. I bought a fantastic chair and wouldn't hesitate in returning. Show details
Deepika from Essendon was extremely helpful and not pushy at all. She let us wonder through the store and when I double checked the price she offered to see what she could do and helped us out a little further even though the price was heavily reduced. She was very professional and it was such a pleasure to meet with her and make our purchase. Show details
Staff member Renee was very helpful let us browse then assisted with our purchase and guiding us through our chair selection. Good price and happy with the results. Plus the efficient delivery service paid but worth it. Show details

Excellent quality products. I’m happy with quality of the products
A ray of sunshine has landed in our lounge room. The sofa is so comfortable and the colour is perfection. Show details

****UPDATE*** After 8 months of being told this was “wear and tear,” Focus on Furniture finally sent a technician — who confirmed it was a structural fault (failed glue in the arm), not misuse. By then, the delay had caused further damage. They’ve agreed to refund the couch, but are still disputing the warranty and delivery costs. This only… Read more
reinforces my concerns about how this has been handled from the start.
I'm extremely disappointed with the Bliss Lounge I purchased from Focus on Furniture on 1/12/2022. Initially, the lounge looked great and was comfortable, but after only this short amount of time, it has started sagging and no longer holds its shape.
The quality of the lounge is clearly subpar, and I expect more from a reputable retailer like Focus on Furniture. The sagging has made our new home/ lounge room look horrible and not feel homely, and I'm now stuck with a costly piece of furniture that I can no longer enjoy.
To make matters worse, when I contacted the warranties department, I spoke with '[Name Removed]', who was less than helpful. She claimed that the sagging was my fault because I hadn't 'fluffed' the couch daily. I explicitly told her that I had followed proper maintenance, but she refused to accept responsibility, even though I am within the warranty time frame. [Name Removed] wrote “ the placement of where you are experiencing the sagging, and the age of your item, all indicating a lack of regular and proper maintenance as recommended for the life of your piece. There would not be a further claim I can action for you under the manufacturing warranty terms provided.” She also declined sending someone to inspect the furniture as I assured here where the sagging has occurred I could not possibly maintain any more than I have daily already.
As a consumer, I expect a product to meet basic standards of quality and durability (especially when we’ve paid a substantial amount for the product!). Under Australian Consumer Law:
- Section 54: Goods must be of acceptable quality. - Section 55: Goods must be fit for a disclosed purpose. - Section 59: Warranties must be honoured.
Focus on Furniture has failed to meet these standards, and their warranties department has been extremely uncooperative. I would not recommend purchasing from this retailer.
Date of purchase: 01/12/2022 Purchase price: $4,329.00

I recently purchased the Lucy Leather 3-piece Recliner Suite from Focus On in Ballarat, Victoria, and I couldn’t be happier. I truly appreciate the help of the staff, especially Sol T., who assisted us with genuine recommendations and excellent knowledge. We are very happy with our purchase, not only do we love the elegant, high-quality suite, but… Read more
it also gives us the feeling of being in a 5-star hotel. It serves its purpose perfectly: lean back, put your feet up, and enjoy the amazing comfort and back support. I highly recommend this recliner suite.
Attached are the public photos we could share from purchasing at the store to assembling and loving the sofa at home.
Our beautiful new lounge suite was delivered on Saturday. I cannot thank the delivery team enough. They went above and beyond to get the rather large couch through a very small space! Thanks to Focus on Furniture and all the staff. Very very happy. Highly recommend. Show details

Our new Burwood 3 and 2 Seater couch set is very comfortable to sit on Show details
We purchased the Lou 5-seat chaise lounge from the Dandenong store and couldn't be happier. The sofa is genuinely comfortable — the foam and pocket spring seats live up to the promise, and the plush padding means you actually sink in without losing support. It looks absolutely beautiful in our living room; the glacier fabric photographs well but… Read more
looks even better in person.
The store was easy to navigate and the range on display was impressive. The quality exceeded our expectations for the price point. Highly recommend the Lou to anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable family sofa that won't break the budget.
Service was wonderful, price was great! Delivered promptly! We are so happy with our Hamilton sofas, and our friends and family love it as well, so much so, that our best friend purchased it as well!

Super smooth! – Moved into my new apartment and didn't have any furniture. Essendon store employees were very understanding and helped me find the right furniture and delivered in less than 3 days! Finally I have a bed to sleep on, thanks to Focus On and all its… Read more
personnel, including delivery staff. The product range was diverse, with so much to choose from.
Really hoping to buy more stuff from Focus On soon.
Follow-up · I’ve been really impressed with how sturdy and well-made the products are — they’ve definitely held up well over time. I’m already thinking of picking up a few more, especially with the EOFY sales offering some great savings. I’ve also heard great things about Focus On, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed to win one of the vouchers — no luck just yet, but hoping this time might be it!
My experience at the store was great but the delivery experience was terrible. The delivery companies that Focus on Furniture use are not professional and make excuses not to deliver items even though I had paid $160 for delivery. They seem to have… Read more
zero experience delivering to inner city areas with narrow, one way streets.
The first delivery drivers cancelled the order and refused to deliver the items, as they "Won't carry it down the street 100 metres." I emailed the store manager and didn't even get a response and when I called they were not very helpful. I was promised another delivery driver with a smaller truck. But when they arrived, it was the same sized truck, that again stated they usually cancel the order if they can't park in front of the property. They delivered the items, but again had issues with parking and said they couldn't assemble it and that I should save the money and do it myself.
The products are good but I would avoid paying for their delivery service and organise delivery yourself or with airtasker.
Follow-up · I purchased a mattress, head board and base. Assembly, luckily was simple, but doing it by myself probably took longer than necessary. Instructions were easy to follow. The mattress is heavy and large and needs 2 people to move.
I was on a shopping spree as I recently relocated from overseas. The quality and prices at Focus met my needs. I could not be more pleased with my purchases of a bedroom set, a dining room set, and bar stools for my kitchen counter. All the… Read more
furniture are well-suited to my new home. The sales agent, Charlotte, at the Nunawading store was patient as I tried virtually all of the dining room chairs to make sure that they not only looked good and matched the dining room table I chose, but were comfortable. Same with the bar stools. My new home is in a fairly remote area, but delivery was no problem. I opted for the package deal of delivery, installation, and removal of packing materials. As a person of a certain age and moving into a down-sized community, it was important that the delivery was on time and that I was not left with making arrangements for installation and packing material removal. Focus came through on all counts. I highly recommend Focus, which my sister took seriously and has purchased new dining room chairs to replace well-worn ones.
Follow-up · Two factors make it difficult to assess product longevity. First, I have had the furniture for a little longer than a month and second, I am not an engineer. However, as someone of a certain age and have lived in several homes and made furniture purchases in the past, I can see that the furniture is sturdy and well made. These were important… Read more

Had a really good experience at Focus On Furniture Dandenong. The staff were super helpful and easy to deal with the whole time. They weren’t pushy at all and actually took the time to help me find what I wanted and answer all my questions. Customer service was great from start to finish and the team made everything feel simple and stress free.… Read more
Hard to find good service like that these days. Really happy with my experience and would definitely recommend checking them out.

We have used focus on furniture in Geelong on numerous occasions to furnish previous house houses and this new existing one we have just bought. Clayton has been helping us with our most recent purchases and his service is outstanding. We chose focus on furniture because they allow you to choose Australian made goods which we find are… Read more
significantly better in quality than some of the overseas built furniture. We have had a couch for six years and the structural integrity of the couch is amazing. I’m now going to buy another bed from this store this week.
The staff were super friendly, attentive and helpful, letting us rearrange the modular lounge to see how it moves easily. We purchased the Bellevue lounge and we love it. Impressed we could get the lounge delivered the following week. It is comfy and feels durable. Highly recommend.
Negative reviews
I bought a queen bed from the Nuawading store just before the boxing day sale and been told the price is the same as the boxing day price. However, few days later they dropped further $100 off. I went back request for a price adjuestment but still hear nothing back from their headquarter. Very unsatisfied with their customer support. Show details
Buying furniture from Focus On was a very disappointing experience. Delivery was scheduled for 8:30am on a Saturday. I briefly stepped out for breakfast, rushed back as soon as I received the message, but the driver said he had already left five minutes earlier. I accept responsibility for missing it and understand the $40 redelivery fee. The real… Read more
issue was customer service. When I went to the store to reschedule, I was told the next delivery would be a week later, which didn’t work for me. I explained that I might need to cancel and order from IKEA instead, as they offer faster delivery. The sales assistant responded sarcastically, saying, “Who wants to buy IKEA furniture these days?” Her tone was rude and unprofessional. Afterwards, I noticed many similar complaints in their reviews about delivery and customer service. I recommend checking them carefully before ordering. FYI: I’m not making accusations to label this as racism but as an Asian customer, the comment made me feel uneasy.
Raised an issue with our dining table, that yes is just gone 10 years of age but due to the damage and location was not identified earlier by us until moving the table outside for renovations. Contacted Focus on Furniture and they straight away just… Read more
wiped their hands of the matter. It is clear the damage is old and would have fested for a while from either production, transport and or storage.
Unfortunately we will not be using Focus on Furniture for any future purchases as clearly they have a zero care factor.
Follow-up · Focus on Furniture have wiped their hands. Disgusting
