Installation guys were great, took their time and I was impressed by the finish. Good price and plenty of options to choose from. 5 stars. Not so great are the mixed levels of customer service. Payment is required upfront - prior to installation - and if the installation is delayed (I only was informed this AFTER payment) tough luck! I was… Read more
assured that the final work - installation of bench top - would not be affected by the late cabinet installation but that wasn't the case. I was advised it would be another 3 weeks and when I spoke to a young person at the office she told me it was out of their control as it was to be completed by a third party. This is despite me signing the contract with NIK and paying them. I insisted on speaking to a manager and this time I got a decent response and felt this person actually cared. I was able to contact the bench top installers themselves who were very very good. They gave me a valid reason for the late installation - which had also been relayed to NIK - but unfortunately that was not communicated to me. I was lucky in that it was brought forward 1 week - so all in all I waited 2 weeks (was originally informed 7 to 10 days). Overall I am giving this experience a generous 4 stars which is only because I love the cabinet, the quality and the installers. Customer service not so good.
We recently had our kitchen upgraded and had a really positive experience overall. The team was good to work with and helpful throughout the process. From the initial design with Andrew through to installation, everything ran relatively well while our trades were onsite. Kristy in the office was very attentive and quick to assist whenever we… Read more
needed anything urgent.
The quality is great value for money, and we’re really happy with how the kitchen has turned out. It looks fantastic and is much more functional for our day to day family use.
We’d happily recommend them to anyone considering a kitchen renovation.
Very satisfied with cabinetry made and installed by New Image Kitchens. They provide value and attention to detail in their products. They were helpful three years later with pull out drawers in pantry and box shelf and hanging rail to laundry, everything matches and looks like it was there from beginning. The team was friendly and professional… Read more
and even adjusted doors in bathroom cabinets while they were here. No hesitation in recommending Nowra Branch.

"My dream kitchen" – So happy with our new kitchen thank you Andrew for your patience and redoing our plans a couple of times!! The results and your advice was spot on. The product also is top quality and very happy with our soft closing draws and cupboards. The little touches of the under cupboard lighting and the light in the pantry make all the difference. Great team to work with from Kristy in the office to all your trades. Would highly recommend you. Thank you!
Best Kitchen Ever – Great customer service. Great design. Great product. Best kitchen ever. Great team.
Love our new cabinet – We had an awkward space in our new home where we wanted a gaming computer and a tv cabinet to sit. We worked with a Craig at New Image kitchens to come up with an overlapping desk and cabinet (inspo from Pinterest), and it turned out great. The computer monitor and cords are all perfectly hidden and the cabinet looks great. It was worth spending a… Read more
little extra getting the perfect fit for the room rather than living with ready made, ill fitting furniture.
Positive reviews
Cost Effective & Excellent quality – We chose New Image Kitchens for multiple reasons. From cost effective to great service. Andrew conducted a thorough site inspection and knew exactly what we wanted. His knowledge and customer service are second to none. Dealing with Kristy on the administration side was an absolute pleasure also. Kristy was well organised and maintained… Read more · 1
excellent communication throughout the process.
We cannot fault anything about the experience and will be recommending New Image Kitchens in the future.
Thank you Kristy – The customer service was great. Kristy was so patient and understanding of my needs and requests. My kitchen is small and was difficulty to design, Kristy and the design team assisted without of the box ideas. Thanks to Kristy and team I’m really happy with the end result.
Replacing cupboards with drawer units – We had a Reno to our kitchen by replacing existing cupboards with drawer units. The drawers fitted perfectly due to the care taken by both the designer and the installer. Very friendly and professional. Our kitchen now works better with lots more usable storage. Would recommend New Image kitchens for price and quality.
Negative reviews
Just Do Better – From the get go it should be known I’m more about posting positive reviews not negative ones. However due to numerous issues, I really need to pass this on. The expected 2 week project timeline blew out significantly and resulted in no functional kitchen for 5 weeks Following are a list of issues: Despite two assurances from the New Image… Read more
measurer (James) the resulting new kitchen didn’t cover the old kitchen footprint. So New Image had to remedy the counter location and remanufacture drawers and cupboards. Cupboard material for high cupboards wasn’t ready at commencement despite me locking in a commencement date and paying all required monies 10 weeks before project start. Mismeasure on high cupboards meant that when the material did arrive the cupboards had to be made again. Unsightly finish under high cupboards was covered only on request. Apparently it’s not part of the New Image business as usual to cover unsightly joins. Granted we weren’t charged extra, but for mine this talks to a professional finish. Mismeasure on range hood cavity. The plumber emptied our solar hot water for no apparent reason during range hood motor installation on the roof. Location of the range hood motor didn’t reach the power for the actual range hood unit in the kitchen. Broke a roof tile whilst walking on the roof. Plumber didn’t tighten a connection under the sink which resulted in water leaking in to the cupboard for a week after installation. We had to request a compliance certificate for gas disconnect / move of connection / reconnect. This should form part of the clients document suite as a standard. Check the plumbing team are appropriately qualified. Electrician and tiler were excellent, both were professional and had fabulous communication skills. However, overall communication throughout between New Image and other stakeholders was very poor. New Image had to constantly be prompted on project progress, updates and outstanding actions. Fluidity of communication between stakeholders and action timelines during a new build might be okay but that communication during a kitchen renovation where the client has no functional kitchen does not translate well at all. Communication from management despite being copied on early correspondence re the numerous issues, was very late in the piece and only when prompted. When I raised issues I was told ‘we’re only human mistakes can happen’ and ‘It's not uncommon for minor hiccups to arise during significant renovations, and unfortunately, you've encountered a few such instances.’ I’d warrant the list of hiccups I experienced was way more than the average. I’d also claim that a kitchen renovation where the same footprint was being used isn’t a significant renovation but a straightforward project.
I note on Product Review, that New Image Nowra react strongly to negative reviews with no semblance of responsibility on their part. However, no comments are forthcoming on the positive reviews. I’ll warrant the same will occur on publication of this review. Speaks volumes.
Customer service from management rude, abusive and threatening – This company designed and installed my kitchen. When I discovered that the fridge door wouldnt open fully because the island bench was too big, I contacted them with the issue. I was told I had designed the kitchen, and it wasn't their problem. After several weeks, many phone calls where I was verbally abused, threats of removing the kitchen, the… Read more
island bench was reduced by a third. There was no reduction in price!! Overall I'm disillusioned with the whole process. My recommendation is give this company a very wide berth!!
There are two sides to every story, south… Read more (+1 reply)
Shoddy poor workmansip – Unfortunately things went wrong right from the beginning. When cupboards arrived for installation were too big for space and had to be cut down. Then tops didn’t fit and also had to be recut but joins didn’t meet properly. Also cupboard above fridge had to be redone - wrong size. Push out catches on another high cupboard were extremely dangerous.… Read more
That was in May 21. - it is now nearly December 21 and joins in tops still not fixed nor suitable catches supplied for high cupboard Production manager bulling with absolutely no customer service. Not recommended. A big waste of money.
two sides to every story apoligies if it hasnt met your expectations

Excellent Professional Work – We had eight kitchens installed in our cabins, all were installed within 3 days and all were built to speck. Not a single issue with any of them which is great to say it's guests using them not a home use so they do take more use. We have no reservations in recommending New Image Kitchen's to both home and commercial projects and with Andrew as our project co ordinator everything progressed smoothly.
Great experience – We wish to say what a great experience we had dealing with New Image Kitchens Warrawong. From the start Andrew was very helpful with our kitchen design and finishes in kitchen, storage cabinets and walk in wardrobes. Followed by expert installation by Jeremy and Brett. Special thanks to Kirsty for her speedy responses and follow up. A very professional team 5 stars We highly recommend these guys T&J Gerroa Show reply

Customer Support – We had our Kitchen installed about Seven years ago at the time we where impressed with the service and the Quality I have just had a minor issue with a couple of hinges Andrew came out and replaced them it was doubtful if it was a Warranty issue but they replaced them anyhow rare to see this type of support these days glad to see it is still out there with New Image Kitchens
