Nightmare Experience – Avoid Koala Living Purchased our house furniture from Koala Living in April/May last year – a nightmare from start to finish. Prepaid delivery and installation arrived in September, but our dining and coffee tables were damaged during installation, and Koala didn’t inform us. After 8 months of repeated failed replacement… Read more
attempts, the tables were finally fixed. Counter and dining chairs are wobbly despite multiple adjustments. Completely unprofessional, unresponsive, and frustrating service. Worst furniture purchase ever – do not buy.

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
The best customer service provided by the staff members. The showroom is beautifully organised, everything flows nicely. Show details
Don’t be fooled by koala living delivery.I ordered koala living furniture and delivery guy suggested me to keep it in the boxes until my newly built house ready and call koala for installation anytime. Now they are refusing to assemble my furniture and demanding extra money for it and also if I paid extra money they will come to install after one… Read more
month (what a joke). I already paid for delivery and assembly. It’s a really bad experience from Koala living. I never experienced anything like this before.Now I am living in a new house with furniture in the box.

Negative reviews
Store service was quick, sales person polite and knew her product range, advised the warehouse would call when items are ready for delivery. Delivery was expensive, considering it is in the same price range as Nick Scali and their team deliver and put together your items. Did not hear from them so made a phone call, customer service rep was… Read more
belligerent, stating that they don’t call, you call. She went on to say because I hadn’t called at the advised ETA mark, delivery would not be until September. I informed her that I hadn’t know this was the process to which she responded, so, do you want the date or not. Disappointing, it seems your customer service that is not face to face is letting the good work down of those in store. I hope that the equipment standard matches my experience in-store and not of your charming rep over the phone.
Easy deposit made in store now in a world of pain trying to get someone to reply to my emails and answer their 1300 number. Staff in store were to send a Whatsapp number to text and they would call to complete the purchase - number not received. Looks like I have to waste my time and go back to the showroom to complete the purchase. Leaves me with… Read more
little faith in this process. I work in the design industry and will suggest clients avoid this company as there are others that offer a much more reliable and responsive service. Your product is marketed to a certain level of clientele and your service needs to match this and with my experience I can't say that it does. There is more to sales than the initial in store experience.
I am taking them to NSW Fair Trading. This is a terrible brand. Their cancellation policy is so unfair and customer service hopeless. We bought a large painting which meant to be delivered in 6 weeks. But then we realised it is too big for the space so we let them know less than 24 hours. they refused a refund first, just store credit. Then they offered to refund but less 30%.

*1/5 stars - A Cautionary Tale* I'm torn between praising the quality of the products and slamming the appalling delivery service. Unfortunately, the poor delivery experience outweighs the good products. The furniture is well-made and good value… Read more
for money, but that's where the praise ends. The delivery team, on the other hand, is a nightmare. Products are dropped from the truck like they're disposable, showing a shocking lack of care for customers' hard-earned purchases.
We've had multiple failed deliveries, with the team turning up late or not at all. One time, they arrived before the scheduled time, but we've had instances where they've taken the delivery back without notice. The communication is abysmal, and the drivers' attitude is downright rude.
To anyone considering purchasing from this shop, beware: your beautiful new furniture might arrive damaged, and you'll be left to deal with the hassle. Until they sort out their delivery process, I'd advise you to look elsewhere.
Follow-up · Koala Furniture contacted us via email requesting the reason for a one-star review. We explained everything about the transport and they checked with the driver who admitted fault. They apologised and refunded the freight charge.
Fantastic range of home décor and furniture. The Marsden Park location is easy to get to and has plenty of space. Customer service was excellent and made the whole process stress-free. Very happy with my purchase.
