Verdict

Koala Living receives widespread praise for its stylish product range, well-presented showrooms, and attentive in-store sales service. However, a segment of customers reports frustrating experiences related to delivery delays, damaged goods, and slow after-sales support.

My experience coming into the store has been exceptional. Molly the sales assistant service today was 20 out of 10. Molly helped visualise the space and recommended another product to complete the look for my space inmy home. Molly created a visual photo of the pieces together with the lounge which i have previously purchased where i then sent to my daughter who was then convinced. Thank you again Molly.

The quality of Koala’s products is excellent. Today I had delivery of buffet and lamp which complement previously bought dinning chairs. The delivery young buys were polite and very helpful. I highly recommend Koala Living products and service.

The sofa is really nice, with high-quality leather. Very comfortable, and the size is just right for our home. The colour is browner than in the official photo. Show details

 Follow-up  · Dear Koala Living Team, I hope you’re doing well. I haven’t had any delivery from Koala Living yet, so I can’t comment on the delivery experience at this stage. My order is currently scheduled for delivery in the third week of September. I’m really looking forward to receiving my furniture and seeing it in my home. I just hope the delivery date arrives soon, as it feels like quite a long wait. Kind regards, [Name Removed]

We are so happy with our Koala furniture purchases. Great quality from Koala and great staff member Ewin who went above and beyond to assist us! Thanks Ewin Show details

 Follow-up  · Solid warranty, delivery was excellent. We paid for a superior delivery so the team delivered the goods, assembled the furniture in the right position and took all packaging away, so worth the extra service for the cost!

Love their products and providing you have no problems with the delivery or the product, everything is fine. If you do have problems, as I did, their customer services is very poor. When you send emails to sort the problems they never seemed to be received by the Koala Living customer care team. When you call Koala Living, because you have had no… Read more

emails back, you still don't get much help, all they do is refer you to someone else. This has been so frustrating that I would not buy anymore of their products, no matter how nice they are! Very unhappy customer!

Koala Living should find better contractors to work with and the customer care service is so bad. We ordered the Portobello Toffee Brown Ash Veneer Shelf and the contractor assembled it without putting the screws and left. It’s been already more than a month for KL to send someone to fix it! It was the most awful and disappointing experience… Read more

ever. The furnitures as good but the service is really not professional. They ask questions like they don’t know their product! Something has to change. It’s such a shame for a good brand like KL that the contractors and the Customer Care Service are bringing such a negative image ruining the reputation of the brand. I am not even mentioning the fact that the base part of the shelf came broken and we had to fight to reach out for replacement. There were no communication between the contractors and KL.

**⚠️ YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED – DO NOT SHOP HERE ⚠️** If I could give Koala Living **zero stars**, I would. This has been one of the worst retail experiences I have ever had. I purchased bedside tables that turned out to be **faulty**. Instead of simply taking responsibility and resolving the issue, I was put through an exhausting returns process… Read more

and then charged a **restocking fee** on faulty goods.

I disputed the charge with NAB, who initially agreed with me and refunded the money. Then Koala Living requested the case be reopened, and today NAB reversed the decision and took the money back again. After weeks of dealing with this, I am absolutely disgusted.

The quality of a company isn't measured by how they act when everything goes right—it's measured by how they treat customers when something goes wrong. In my experience, Koala Living failed that test completely.

After what I've experienced, I personally find it difficult to reconcile my experience with the large number of glowing five-star reviews I see online. Readers should make up their own minds, but I'd encourage them to also read the lower-rated reviews before making a purchasing decision.

**My advice? Shop anywhere else.** Spending thousands of dollars should buy you quality products and customer service—not faulty furniture, endless arguments and financial disputes.

I certainly won't be returning, and I would never recommend this company to friends or family.

**You have been warned.**
