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.

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… Read more

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.

 Follow-up  · Ordering was simple. Sonya came for a site visit to discuss my options and once I had decided on products and colours it was ordered. The installation was just one day and prior to install I had no coverings on any of the windows and I have survived my first Melbourne winter after being in Qld for 30yrs thanks to the wonderful effect the blinds have had.

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.

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.

My curtain installer Zack arrived on time to install my bedroom sheers and was an absolute delight to speak with, explaining and checking with me on everything. The install is perfect and I am so happy with the job he has done. I wish all trades were as professional as Zack! Show details

We absolutely love our plantation shutters! The whole experience was stress free and seamless. The communication was great, from the time we walked into the showroom, had a quote done and had them fitted. Zac did a fantastic job fitting them. We definitely recommend using Kresta! Show details

Had to get Kresta installer back to close a 10cm gap between the curtains which is letting quite a lot of light in even when it’s fully shut. Customer service wanted to charge a call-out fee as the curtains were installed 7 months ago and I had to explain and prove that it’s an ongoing issue and was last seen by another installer 3.5 months ago.… Read more

Suggest better record keeping for customer service. Ultimately the call out fee was waived and Jay the installer came very swiftly, was very helpful and managed to resolve the issue. Overall I think Kresta stands by their product and workmanship, and provides good after care service.

My wife and I have recently had a large "Santiago" Awning installed, which was purchased from and installed by Kresta. Sonya Oberstar was the specialist product advisor who was very professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The installation was carried out by Kresta's installer, Rath, in difficult conditions, but he finalised the… Read more

installation at 7:30 on a Saturday evening. He did an excellent job, cleaned up the site, and took all the rubbish with him. I'd highly recommend both Sonya and Rath to anyone keen to get excellent product advice (Sonya) and a professional installation (Rath). All up, we're very happy with the installation and the quality of the product.

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.

A disappointing first (last and only) impression with Kresta Mentone. In early March, I arranged a quote and the consultant was knowledgeable, efficient, and provided written documentation on the spot — a great start. However, when I requested a… Read more

single contract amendment a few days later, communication stopped entirely. I followed up by phone, leaving a direct message with the consultant, and by email to the office - no response. I have since engaged another provider. The silence is telling: If a business cannot respond to a straightforward request during the sales process, it raises serious concerns about how they would handle issues after installation/warranty.

 Follow-up  · Kresta said that they would follow up this complaint and two months later, still nothing

Customer Service is excellent with Kresta all staff very happy to assist Pam in the office always lovely to speak to and Zack the gentleman who installed the roller blinds was also very pleasant to deal with not a grumble even though he was here until 6pm. the material and blinds seem wonderful my only problem is that, I had 3 twin blinds… Read more

installed, all windows along front of the house very visible, the 2 blinds in the loungeroom were fitted inside the window frames which we agreed to, and to have all windows consistent all were to be inside the window frames but the bedroom one on the outside of the frame, we have a very small home and the first time I entered the bedroom in my wheelchair I collided with the blinds which now protrude out from the wall a considerable distance. I have spoken to Pam about the problem and I am waiting to hear back and see what resolution they come up with. I don't want to lay blame but the gentleman who came and did the first lot of measurements was very young and not on the job for long. Kresta even sent out another rep. to check on his measurements. I will let you know what the final resolution is I hope they replace the set of blinds in the bedroom. I will be back to let you all know. Kind regards Judee

Many thanks to Zac Hogan for assembling our vertical blind over our sliding door. He was meticulous in making sure everything was in the right position and sat well against the wall. He did a really professional job and the blinds look great!! Thanks again Zac. Show details

Very happy with Kresta blinds. The receptionist did her best to get us an appointment despite them being booked up for when we required. The consultant had many good suggestions, and very good product knowledge. The Installer Rath was professional and friendly. Had the wall to wall curtains installed, with the sheer curtains in front. Which has… Read more

changed the look of the bedroom from drab to very smart and stylish. During the day with the curtains closed the room is dark, which is great.

Very happy with my recent blinds purchase. Sonya the consultant did an excellent job with the design and recommendations. The follow up appointment was great and reassuring that they did a second measure before proceeding to manufacturing the blinds. The timeline to getting it installed was as advertised at the time of quote. Very happy to recommend to others Show details

Jay has been absolutely wonderful. He did a fantastic job in measuring. Someone else had to install and there were some issues, but Jay came back and rectified all the issues. Jay is always very happy to help, cheerful personality, no problem too big. Lovely person and I can trust him to do a perfect job all the time. Show details

I had 2 Blockout and 4 See through roller blinds fitted to my windows at the end of 2024 by Kresta in Camberwell. I have been extremely happy with their efficient customer service, experienced and trustworthy staff and have been happy with the quality of the work carried out. They addressed any requests I made and am happy with the outcome. If I need their service in the future I will not hesitate to contact them again. Show details

Just don't bother – I purchased electric roller blinds, but the charger for the rollers was not included. Additionally, the wall adapter for the Google Hub, which the blinds connect to, was missing. I scheduled installation at least three times, but the technicians were always unavailable and only informed me midway through the day. I was told I should be grateful… Read more

because I negotiated the price. I requested a call from the regional manager but have yet to receive one. When I called for support, I was repeatedly told I was wrong. I regret not choosing DIY blinds.

KRESTA is the BESTA – The experience was faultless from the outset. The Sales Rep (Sonya) was patient and generous with her time throughout the whole process making sure that any concerns were addressed. We received great advice in terms of styles of blinds, colours and combinations. The installers were efficient and worked with a minimum of fuss being polite and… Read more

accommodating with any questions or requests that I had on the day (3 sets of blinds therefore 3+installers). We were very satisfied at every stage and the follow up has been nothing short of outstanding from both the Sales Rep and Pam at head office. I would highly recommend KRESTA for blinds.

Five Star for Sonya Oberstar – Ms. Sonya Oberstar demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout the project. Her extensive industry expertise, keen attention to detail, and valuable recommendations significantly contributed to completing the new window furnishing installation. I felt confident in her abilities as she managed this task.
