I had a home consultation with Olivia from Preston. She came to my home to consult with me about my living room, and her ideas were very impressive and satisfied my ideas. I found my couch very comfortable and I’m very happy with my accent chair as well. I also love my faux olive tree. It all came together so much better than I could’ve imagined… Read more · 1
and I’m very pleased with my purchases. This is my second time that I’ve utilised these consultations from Freedom and I’m definitely planning to do more in the future.
Friendly service and prompt delivery from the Preston Store. Shane & Dave who delivered the furniture, 2 Tallboys & 2 Bedside Tables (furniture is well made & very sturdy) were pleasant, friendly and professional, even waived to our neighbours Show details · 1

preferences, guiding me through their selection of sofa beds until we found the perfect match.
The purchasing process was smooth and efficient, thanks to the professionalism of the staff. They were incredibly helpful in explaining the features of the sofa bed, including its durability, comfort, and functionality. I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision, which made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.
Perfect choice of cushion and throw – Corey my sales attendant knew his stuff and helped me choose everything perfectly. Show details · 1

I was served by Rose at freedom Preston. She was absolutely amazing. Such great people skills and customer service skills. I purchased the apartment 01 couch from her and absolutely loved it. Even the delivery guys were great, they were at my place for a whole of 10 minutes to put my couch together and then took the plastic and wrapping also! Fantastic service. Show reply
The Preston store provided suggestions and advice on styling which was very helpful. Everything arrived as expected and we were advised when items were delayed. We also received great discounts at end of financial year. Special mention for Sarah Von Tung from Preston. Show details · 1

Spent about 4K on a new sofa that needs to be fluffed multiple times a week, cushions fall off and has been ripped. Freedom 'customer service' absoloutely atrocious. Had the misfortune of speaking with Alison at Freedom who hung up on me because she couldn't provide any information. Buy this sofa at own risk. Update: tried the mediation process… Read more
through here. Complete waste of time. Just publish your reviews. There is no one at Freedom who wants to help.
Freedom Furniture Has My FAULTY Sofa and My Money—Now What? – I purchased the Sorrento sofa from Freedom Furniture’s Preston store in May, and my experience has been deeply frustrating. The sofa, which cost over $2000, arrived with several issues: misaligned upholstery on one module, uneven padding, and the frame visible through the fabric. After lodging a claim and enduring weeks of silence, a technician… Read more
came in July. Although he attempted to adjust the padding and re-align the fabric, the issues quickly resurfaced because there was inadequate padding over the frame.
Under Australian Consumer Law, the sofa clearly fails to meet acceptable quality standards. Despite my repeated attempts to resolve this—through numerous calls and emails over several months to the Freedom Warranty Team and the Preston store —I only received a response after sending a formal letter of demand. This letter summarized all prior communication and indicated my intent to escalate the matter to the ACCC and the Department of Fair Trading if no resolution was reached asap.
Freedom then offered only a store credit for an exchange, even though the sofa was faulty. It has been nearly 3 weeks since my sofa was collected, and I am still waiting for the store credit needed to purchase a replacement. Again in true Freedom customer service fashion, I as the customer is required to follow up. I am raising a chargeback with my bank - this has gone on far too long.
I would not recommend Freedom Furniture. The time and effort I have spent on this warranty claim have been excessive and disappointing. What a waste of time.

Complete waste of money – I have the worst experience in my life at freedom. I will give them 0 stars if I can. I bought 3 seaters sofa from them which came out of packaging with stain on it. I contacted the store and cuatomer serivce and they did not accept to replace it. They sell people defective items and force them to repair them afterthat. I would buy from ikea and… Read more
never buy from freedom agian. I had stressful time with them and I wasted my money. I heard also many people talking about their poor quality which I already saw it myself. The worst customer service ever. Once they take your money they wont respond to anything. I have a panic attack symptoms when I see their name. I will never spend a dollar in this cheap store. Now I will proceed to vcat to return my money. They send someone to clean it but the stain did not came off. Moreover, there is a big discolouring spot on the back of my sofa. Dont waste your money and time. The saleperson smiles and pretend she is helpful when you want to buy, but once you pay them they wont do anything.
Good morning Raj,, thank you for taking the time to… Read more

Staff were knowledgable about the products and did not rush me as I spent well over an hour moving back and forward between mattresses to choose the best option. They listened to my requirements and were proactive in showing me alternative options that might be suitable, even if they were lower cost and required unmaking/remaking of several display beds!

I ordered my sofa & ottoman it took 2 months and arrived on time - all good with the purchasing experience but what I really want to praise is the delivery service and the delivery men. I had a choice of time, they kept me informed & when they got here (on time) they took the items up 2 flights of stairs and assembled them, they took the… Read more · 1

Freedom Preston Vic A+ – As somemone who has spent most working life in retail I must firstly say how nice it was to be agknowledged upon entering the store with a "Good Morning" by Selena.

potential purchase of our sofa Rose and Janet engaged with us, like we had known them for ages and provided all the answers to our questions and also offered great advice based on their knowledge and experience. Previous to this we had visited a few other Freedom stores and thought the service and information we were seeking was well below par and our expectations. If not for Rose & Janet we would be heading off to King Furniture to make our purchase. We are definetly going back to Preston in the future.

My fantastic experience with Rose and Marcus from Freedom Preston – I purchased a sofa bed and three beds & mattresses from the Freedom Preston store a couple of weeks ago with delivery scheduled four days ago. When the items were delivered, the sofa bed wouldn’t fit through a doorway in the house. Taking of the measurements of the doorway to the Preston store, Rose and Marcus went above and beyond to find a… Read more · 1
comparable product that would fit though the doorway. Their solution was incredibly effective but unconventional; unpack the sofa bed from its original box, wrap the sofa bed in a specific type of plastic that would hold the cushions down enough, so that when the feet were removed it would fit through the doorway. There were only centimeters to spare.
In addition, Rose also organized next day delivery and kept open communication via phone and email every step of the way.
I can’t than rose and Marcus enough for their genuine care and support, it’s very much appreciated!

Great staff with a great attitude – Freedom staff at Preston and Richmond are always friendly and helpful. It makes the shopping experience worthwhile. Plus the stores are always filled with stock and easy to walk around in. Keep up the good work Freedom. Show reply
Service beyond expectations – Rose from the Preston store is outstanding. I had purchased items from various Freedom stores and she helped me sort out delivery dates for the various items. This was complicated because I was heading overseas for 5 weeks. Rose was efficient, kind and nothing was too much trouble. I had to return a product and again- seamless! Show details · 1

Dishonest delivery – After waiting 5 months for a special order dining table, the morning of delivery I was informed the table was missing/lost. After chasing for answers, one week later they delivered a "customer returned" table from 2022. The table arrived in a battered, dirty damaged box with the previous customers details attached and upon opening I discovered it… Read more

I visited the store to attempt to resolve the situation and have had emails with their warranties and claims department. I am a seeking a refund which Freedom is refusing to give.
