Pros
Verdict
Overall sentiment for Kresta is largely positive, with numerous customers praising the end-to-end experience from the initial in-home design consultation to the final installation of blinds, curtains, and shutters. Clients frequently commend individual staff members and installers for their professionalism, punctuality, and quality workmanship. While a subset of reviews highlights challenges such as measurement errors, communication breakdowns, and extended delivery timeframes, the prevailing takeaway is that most customers are very satisfied with their finished products.
Emilian came to the unit & measured for quote. He was on time, very friendly & helpful. The pricing was good & he suggested we fast track it which we did & it worked out well. The vertical drapes were installed 1/9 and are exactly what we wanted. Thank you Show details
The blinds themselves are pretty standard but the installation was terrible and the initial installer claimed was the only one who could do the job and had to fly down from QLD once a month due to the demand, bragged about making a lot and sending his kids to private schools (yawn/not a flex) while then adding additional fees to my order to… Read more
increase his earnings LOL - Botch the job and had to be reinstalled. Reinstallation damaged some of the blinds and my window sill! Sonya, the AUS/NZ Customer Service manager has both terrible communication and customer service abilities. Overall, would not advise on the chance that your job incurs similar issues to mine

Blinds look great! Manufacture took a while but the install on the day was quite quick and the team were polite, clean and did a great job. Thanks Sam!
Very happy with the service, it's been easy along the process. Guy who installed the shutters was very efficient. Great job looks fantastic. Thankyou.
From start to finish Kresta have been so easy to work with. Peter was fantastic helping me select colours and Carl installed everything perfectly. This is our second time using Kresta and we highly recommend them. Show details

Shutters/Blinds: Sonya and Zach were wonderful! Sonya was extremely knowledgeable on product advice and Zach did a wonderful job on installation. I wanted Shutters on the windows and Sheerfold blinds on the sliding entrance door, the end result is beautiful and not only looks great but insulates the living space and bedrooms when closed. Very happy and would recommend them to anyone wanting to beautify your space. Jo Sandhurst. Show details
I was fortunate enough to deal with Sonya from Kresta. She was very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. She made some great suggestions and made the whole experience very pleasant. The installation was done by Rath. He arrived on time and completed the job seamlessly. Very happy with the final product. I highly recommend them.
Our experience with Kresta Belrose was great from start to finish. Sam was professional, helpful, and knowledgeable with great and efficient communication. Our installer was also highly competent and detail-oriented. Thank you team!
Kresta was great! Sam was very helpful with selecting the curtains and blinds for our bedrooms. They kept us up to date on our order and installation date. Installation was very quick with no mess left behind. Very happy!
Exvellent service. Installation of blinds was efficient. Everything about purchase and order of blinds and installation was well explained and thorough. They look terrific. Worth the wait.
Charlie did an excellent job installing our sheer blinds. He was professional, punctual, and took great care with the installation. The blinds look fantastic and have completely transformed the space. Highly recommend Charlie for his quality workmanship and attention to detail. Show reply

We had Plantation blinds installed by Damien and they look fantastic! Clean and professional work done quickly. Definitely would recommend. Show details · 1
We had a fantastic experience with Kresta from start to finish. The quote from Sonya came through straight after she had come to discuss our needs. The quote was a little difficult to work out, but after a simple explanation, we understood the products and the process. The process to order was straight forward - the ordering to installation time… Read more
was a bit long but acceptable. The products are amazing. We needed a few different blind types for windows and staircase etc, others could not deliver all products. Kresta could manufacture and install all of them which was a big relief to us. The installation was excellent in my opinion. Highly recommend.
Jay the Kresta technician said he will help me in a few days to repair my blinds but his promise was better - he came back sooner with two new motors and installed the motors within minutes. He is an Australian of Maori descent and a champion. A man of his word. Kind and reliable. On repair day I was too sick to answer my mobile but he came… Read more
anyway. Most techs would just have said the client didn’t answer her phone. This man listened when I told him I was disabled. So once he had the new motors and I didn’t answer the phone he used his judgement. He came through for me and for that I will always be grateful. We need people who love their jobs and Jay certainly does. He is an asset to Kresta. I felt comfortable in his presence and he was engaging. Jay if you get to read this I want to say thank you to you and keep up that brilliant smile. After service is what makes a return customer and you’ve converted me hook line and sinker. Kresta all the way for me.
Absolutely love our new curtains the installers were friendly and professional, definitely recommend Kresta to anyone needing curtains
Excellent price and service. I would highly recommend Sam. The blinds are good quality and a great addition to our home.
Latest follow-ups
Very disappointing experience. Blinds fitted poorly with visible screws and protrusions. One blind needed to be recut and still waiting for that to happen, after five weeks. One blind too small. They never pick up their phone and rarely return… Read more
messages. They demand payment prior to delivery of goods but do not honour after-care issues. Still waiting. Very unprofessional business and would not recommend dealing with them ever again.
Follow-up · Kresta has now provided the blind that needed to be shortened. However, Kresta did not follow up with me about other issues with the fitting. Given my overall experience and the poor end product, I would not change the star rating I gave, nor would I ever buy from Kresta again.
All round great service from Kresta. The blinds were fitted by Charlie who was Punctual, friendly and helpful. Show details · 1
Follow-up · We are very happy with the whole experience. The price and quality of the product is excellent. Would recommend Kresta without hesitation.
Great customer service – Absolutely love our new sheers and blackout curtains. Really appreciated Emilians experience and guidance whilst choosing which style and colour to order. Both curtains and sheers hang beautifully thanks to his expert measuring. Big thank you to… Read more
Charlie and partner who did a fantastic job fitting them for us. Great communication throughout. Well done guys, fabulous job.
Follow-up · Had absolutely no issues with installation, it was very professional and the guys tidied up after themselves. Colours totally met our expectations and we would be happy to use this company again in the future.

Emilian and the rest of the staff including our installer Carl were excellent from the first contact I had with them. So prompt with coming out to quite and excellent communication the whole way through from start to finish. We ended up using them for 3 separate jobs in our office. Highly recommend. Show details
Fitters installed our 4x double track curtains. On time, and gave plenty of notice before arrival. Very professional and cleaned up after install. I would definitely recommend to anyone
Negative reviews
Kresta Curtains… what a disappointing, frustrating & extremely expensive purchase (MISTAKE). Sorry I ever heard of from Kresta Curtains. If I had known the manufacture/supply took 3 months from the time they did a measure & quote, I wouldn’t have ordered the curtains. The curtains are made in China…. Sowz I had to wait 3 months for them to be… Read more
manufactured and shipped by boat from China to Melbourne. When finally installed, they were badly made... the hem stitching was so bad, I had to call Kresta to come back to fix. Kresta steamed the curtains hoping to fix the extremely bad stitching. That didn’t do anything sowz Kresta replaced them… yep another 3 months having to wait for them to be made in China & shipped yet again to Melbourne. Sowz 6 months later, 5 visits (5 days taken off from work including 2 ‘no shows’, waiting around and late arrival each time grrr!!!) from Kresta, the curtains were finally installed this week. They’re ok but certain not worth the money, not worth all the time waisted or ALL THE FRUSTRATION. From my sad experience, DON'T PAY FPR GRIEF -> DO NOT BUY FROM KRESTA CURTAINS. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. Just not worth buying curtains from Kresta who with average pricing, crap virtually non-existent customer service, crap product and appalling overall experience, UNFORGIVABLE that all the nonsense they put me through still without an apology!! DON'T PUNISH YOURSELF -> -> DO NOT BUY FROM KRESTA CURTAINS.
They are a large company and not set up for a good customer experience. No one person or role at Kresta is responsible for looking after you / your order. Once the sales person has the sale you never hear from them again. Sales will under estimate how long manufacturing and delivery/install takes. Once the sales person walks away you get contacted… Read more
by a variety of different departments that don't appear to communicate well with each other. The installers are sub contractors and not employees.
Good morning Michael, if you could provide me with some… Read more
Very disappointed with Kresta Blinds, I had made an appointment for them to come and do a measure and quote on Friday afternoon between 4-5 as that's what suited us with our work lives, at 2pm I receive a text from lady coming to measure saying she has 2 cancellations and is close so could come do mine if that suited, alternatively she said she… Read more
could come on Saturday or Sunday as she lived close, I messaged back saying that the original appointment time is what suited us, I even tried ringing but she had already turned her phone off by that stage and must have been enjoying her early start to the weekend. She had no intention of re scheduling for the Saturday or Sunday as wouldn't answer the phone call or reply to my text message, Monday came and went and I haven't heard from them either, have just received a call from Mentone office wandering if I would like to reschedule an appointment, um... definately NOT!! Would never consider using this company in the future.

Celia from Kresta Loganholme was so lovely and provided a very professional in-home consultation service. Can’t wait to get our new curtains and would highly recommend using Kresta. Show details
Absolutely love my new plantation shutters! From the initial quotation to the install was faultless. I was kept up to date regularly on how my shutters were going during their construction process. Damien my installer was very professional, friendly and fast. Would definitely recommend Kresta for any plantation shutters. Thankyou Kresta! Show details
Fantastic service from quote to install. Very professional and was kept informed of the status of order the whole way through. Thanks Charlie for the install and Emilian for the quote and fabric suggestions. Show details
