Product range and quality: Furniture and homewares are stylish, modern, and visually appealing with a luxury aesthetic.
Showroom presentation: Galleries and stores are clean, beautifully laid out, and well-presented to help customers visualise items in their homes.
Cons

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. Overall sentiment is divided between positive in-store purchasing experiences and challenges encountered during the delivery and resolution process.

Aditya A is the best salesman in Koala Living. He is very thorough and walks you through all the items and gives you a clear understanding of everything with no hesitation. His attention to detail is second to none and is very immersed in helping me all the time. I’m his best customer and he’s my best salesman

We are extremely happy with Syeda’s professionalism and the exceptional service she provided.

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

Easy to navigate and lots of pictures of items from different angles.

 Follow-up  · Changed my review down to one star as products took months and months and months to arrive, didn’t look like the pictures, and the company was very difficult to deal with and wouldn’t return/refund.

Paris was extremely professional and helped us finding a beautiful clock for our house. Paris was very helpful and cheerful and even though we had not been able to find the same clock last time she helped in looking for it and ordering for us. The service was really nice.

We bought bar stools, dining table and chairs, bedroom floor mirror, large rug and an occasional chair. The rug and occasional chair I am still waiting on after 6 months which is ridiculous. The mirror shows you as though you are in a fun house, from a distance you look distorted and long which actually makes you feel nauseous but the most… Read more

annoying part is that it has been over 1 month and they are giving me the run around in replacing the mirror. I have had enough with them as they are very good at getting your sale but horrible at resolving any issues.

After sales online service non existent. The worst service - if you can call it that- I have ever encountered. I purchased a gorgeous vase for my dining table which was too large and requested exchange for the smaller size. A change of pick up address was requested and confirmed by Jam, yet courier not sent to correct address. I have emailed over… Read more

two dozen times, daily requesting an update. 10 days later a response to say she was on her ‘rest’ day. Two months later, still not resolved. A totally incompetent service assistant. Will never purchase this brand again

Terrible customer service and ridiculous policies on a $10,000 order! I placed an order for 7 items totaling around $10,000. Because they didn't have the items in stock, they had to split my order into three separate deliveries. That was just the beginning of the headache. One specific item, worth $3,000, was delayed for more than 10 weeks. After… Read more

waiting all that time, I finally contacted them to cancel that item and request a refund. Miraculously, the very next day they suddenly claimed the item was ready for delivery! I told them I still wanted to cancel and get my money back, but they refused, hiding behind their 'store policy.'

To make matters worse, I asked them to provide a $100 voucher they had previously offered to make up for the hassle. They actually rejected my request, stating that since the item was now ready, the voucher was no longer applicable. They then tried to act generous by telling me they would 'waive the delivery fee' for this final drop-off. Are you kidding me? The only reason my order required three separate deliveries is because THEY didn't have the stock! Acting like they are doing me a favor by not charging me for their own inventory problem is an absolute joke.

Save yourself the stress and spend your money elsewhere. Once they have your money, they do not care about customer service."

Marvin provided exceptional customer service. We’re currently renovating our house and needed a full set of furniture, and he was incredibly patient, understanding and helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to listen to what we needed, offered great advice and made the experience so much easier. We truly appreciate his professionalism and wonderful customer service. Highly recommend Marvin!
