We have just been and bought the 4 seater Clarence settee from your store . David was polite , helpful and put us under to pressure to buy . He showed us a good selection and left us to decide . It was a pleasure being in the shop compared to the sales techniques of other stores. We will certainly use your store again and will recommend you to others . Sue and Vince Biggs Show details ·  1

JL Montana CLR Saddle Rust Dining chairs we received are all wobbly and unstable. We spent time assembling the chairs and found them all unstable which was very disappointing as it is a safety risk. The finishes are also very mediocre.

We had a great experience in store and can’t speak highly enough about Chris from Liverpool. He has been fabulous. However when we received our good it was damaged and faulty before we even took it fully out of the box. We contacted the store and Chris was amazing help he sent through a warranty request for us. The people from the warranty… Read more

services department took six weeks to get in contact with me! Completely unacceptable. They had written down my email wrong and provided no apologies. I had paid for a brand-new buffet table which had arrived damaged. They tried offering me $200 credit when I said no. I want my item. They finally agreed to replace it but only if we would take the original person to warehouse all the way in Saint Marys to pick up the new piece I explained to them that under consumer law in New South Wales if their responsibility to pick up their faulty piece and replace it. Also my husband has a bad back and we had to pay money for delivery so shouldn’t have to pay for this again given it is their issue. I cannot explain to you how rude the staff were. they don’t write back to you and when they do, they’re extremely rude they threatened me that if I didn’t take their offer they might relinquish it and send me email and email “they’re not going back-and-forth any further with you “ and refuse to reply to your emails. They won’t call you back and now I’ve called the service team multiple times. They won’t answer your calls or call you back. All illegal and immoral . such a shame we did love our peace and we had a great in-store experience. We’ve just bought a new home and we’re planning on furnishing it through james lane and now are telling everyone to avoid this place through. No fault to the store staff. [Name Removed] and [Name Removed] from warranty have been the most difficult and I will be escalating this further.

This review is not regarding the store. We purchased the large version of the Fenn Mirror (oval shaped). The mirror has serious defects and the frame does not huh the glass in at least two places. Due to the separation between frame and glass, you can see at least 25cm of silicone on one side and at least 12cm of silicone on the other from at… Read more

least 2 metres away. The frame also appears to have been damaged and chipped prior to sale then sanded and painted in a similar colour. This is not as noticeable from a distance but still does not meet Australian Consumer standards. We reached out to James Lane for a refund and have been told they will offer $60 as compensation (on a $300 sale). Not good enough. This was our first purchase from James Lane and we will never purchase from James Lane or Sleeping Giant again due to the poor customer service.

Note another review on their website stated they had issues with the frame as well so the company is aware of this issue and continues to sell a faulty product.

After having viewed various dining tables at Nick Scali, Freedom, Harvey Norman etc. we decided on a rose coloured "Madras" table displayed at James Lane Caringbah. The table was on sale and was paid for at the time of ordering. The table that was delivered was a light straw colour and bore no resemblance to the red toned floor model on… Read more

which we based our decision. We returned to the store and were told they could not help us (fail number 1) and it would have to be a "warranty claim". The warranty person falsely stated a different colour was not grounds for a "major failure" and we were only entitled to a replacement (fail number 2).

A replacement was to be sent a week later, but never arrived. Subsequent phone calls revealed a replacement was never ordered. At this stage we were seeking a refund which the warranty team refused to supply (fail number 3).

It seems James Lane would not or could not guarantee that the table would be a similar colour to the display model, nor mentioned this when we ordered the table. (fail number 4). Returning to the store a third time we asked whether an alternative design could be supplied. The store person said they had been instructed by management not to talk to us! This request was subsequently refused (fail number 5)

As we had guests about to stay with us the following month and needed a bigger table, we did not have the luxury of time to take to matter to either NSW Fair Trading or a Small Claims division Court, we accepted an offer of the slightly shop soiled floor model.

James Lane's approach to customer service was appalling and we are of the opinion they breached several aspects of Australian Consumer law when a remedy was sought. Shop there at your own risk IMHO!

I’ve had this coffee table for less than a year. The first one arrived and the legs would not bolt on as the hole and screw were miss aligned. The second one broke. I found out it was broken as my neighbour said “is that leg wonky” as I lifted the table it fell on me. Its marble. Could have fallen on my 4 year old. It’s very poorly made and… Read more

destined to Break.

Huge waste of money as they said we used it incorrectly. I let my son sit next to it (on his seat) and eat. And I place my morning coffee on it. That’s all the use it has.

In my experience sell crap, dangerous products and don’t come through with warranty when it’s needed. No go.

I want to give a huge shout out to Ronny for providing the best customer service I’ve experienced in any shopping experience to date. They went above and beyond to help me with styling suggestions and clearly knew exactly what they were talking about. So often you come across staff who are focused on overselling products without really… Read more

understanding them, but that was absolutely not the case with Ronny. They had an incredible eye for styling, listened carefully to what I was looking for, and gave genuinely helpful advice that made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.

It’s rare to come across someone so knowledgeable, approachable, and passionate about what they do. Thank you, Ronny!

Bought some furniture there over the weekend. Store was fine, was more just fthe experience of the sale. Wife asked if they deliver, to which the sales man said yes they do, no mention of a fee ( I didn’t think it would be free) but when I went to pay after completing most of the paperwork, he then informed me it is $129 delivery fee. Ok,… Read more

probably could have told us that upfront.

I then go to pay in cash, to which he says we no longer accept cash!! I replied it is legal tender, and they said they no longer have a safe so can’t take cash.

Fair enough, I will just bang it on the credit card and collect points. He tells me the price, and then when I tap to pay, it is an extra $10 plus dollars?? I questioned that and this is the 1% surcharge to use your card. So won’t take cash, but will charge me extra to use my card.

Based on this experience I probably won’t give them any more of my money.

Poor products and services - The surface of new dining chairs is peeling when tucked into the dining table which was part of the dining set. James Lane will not replace as they have blamed moisture causing the issue. The items were also not delivered when promised and order not complete. No accountability or discounts were offered. Show details

Our coffee tables were faulty and had awful customer service from the claims department who made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Never apologised and we had to push for our case despite selling us 2 tables designed to go together that don’t match and in addition, the larger table wasn’t cut properly and not circular so doesn’t fit frame… Read more

properly. Coffee tables are modelled together in shop but whilst we didn’t expect the marble to be identical, we expected same base colour whereas one was white marble and the other beige & they look st^pid together. It’s a shame the claims department were so awful, as the staff in the Fortitude Valley store and at warehouse were the opposite and really helpful. I don’t post negative reviews but given how poor the claims department have been when they’ve sold us a faulty product, I really do not recommend purchasing from James Lane.

Had such a lovely experience at James Lane in Alexandria thanks to Mark. From the moment I walked in, he made everything feel effortless, attentive without being overbearing, genuinely warm, and incredibly helpful. He created such a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere while still being so professional. He went above and beyond to help, and it completely made the experience. Already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Mark! Show reply

Popped into the Geelong store today and dealt with Shenae. She was super friendly, really knew her stuff and made us feel confident about the couch we chose. Didn’t feel silly asking anything, she guided us, made great suggestions and just made the whole experience easy and enjoyable.
