Pros
Verdict
Overall sentiment regarding Nick Scali is mixed, featuring a distinct divide between the in-store and repair experiences and the broader logistics and after-sales warranty process. Customers consistently praise the knowledgeable retail staff, the quality of delivery drivers, and particularly the exceptional service provided by individual repair technicians like Frank Martelli and Ashley. However, a subset of reviews indicates significant frustration with delivery delays, communication breakdowns post-purchase, and challenges or rejections when attempting to claim warranty repairs.
I ordered furniture from Nick Scali and it has been an absolute nightmare. The delivery date was delayed 3 times with no proper reason. Each time I rearranged my work and home schedule, only for them to postpone again. Now, after all the delays, they can’t even tell me when my items will arrive because “their systems have been down for 1 week”.… Read more
No updates, no accountability, no timeline.
For a company that charges premium prices, this is unacceptable. Zero communication and zero respect for the customer’s time.
I would NOT recommend Nick Scali to anyone. Avoid unless you want to be strung along for months.
There was a missing cable to my lounge. It took a while to replace because Nick Scali incurred a difficulty with their computer system. I am a patient person who accepts no-one is immune from technological setbacks. Over a month I dealt with approximately a dozen different Nick Scali staff. Without exception I was treated well, kept up to date and… Read more · 1
respected. Finally Craig the technician arrived and sorted out my problem. He arrived and completed the job exactly when he said he would. Well done Nick Scali team.
Anika Mid-Century Lounge quality issues after 9 months of gentle use. 2 out of 4 headrests are broken on this product. We definitely would not recommend the build quality but the lounge itself is comfortable. Once again we are disappointed to have to chase up with dramas concerning quality control and goods that just aren't fit for purpose. Could… Read more
have used 2 stars but decided on one after the ridiculous response from service to send more evidence yet not having any portal to upload video. We are sick to the back snappers of having to do this. Just fix the obvious manufacturing defect on a 9 month insitu lounge for goodness sake. Nic Scali need to do better. People pay a lot of money for these items and they do not last.

We had a stiff control switch on our new lounge. Craig attended and was very polite, knowledgable and helpful with some battery advice. I am not sorry we bought from Nick Scali Furniture, their back up service was exceptionally good. Show details · 1
After purchase Service call - Big thanks to Frank for getting our lounge sorted! We ran into a snag where the legs wouldn't thread in correctly, which meant we couldn't even use part of the sofa. Frank was professional, figured out the fix immediately, and got it done without any fuss. He even had me test it out before he headed off to make sure it was good to go. Awesome, quick service, cheers! Show reply
Amazing customer service from Francis at Nick Scali South Wharf. We were looking for a modular lounge and he was brilliant - so knowledgeable on frames, fabric, options - showed us a great range and then allowed us to reflect with no pressure. Delighted to say we bought the Clovelly 7 piece lounge. Delivery flexible to work for us. Customer service makes such a difference for a big purchase. Highly recommended. Show details · 1

side table and 2 seater electric couch for my bedroom. Very happy
I am disappointed that Nick Scali doesn't offer a service to take away the packaging especially for the amount I have spent with them over the years.
I have just had my new coffee table & rug delivered which I bought at Nickscali. From the excellent service & help i received from the floor staff at the Maroochydore store i say a big " thankyou". They were considerate, helpful & helped me with any questions I had. The pre arranged delivery went smoothly. The delivery men were warm & courteous .… Read more · 1

My custom couch was ready weeks ahead of schedule. Looks fantastic! The delivery guys were awesome. Very friendly and helpful, quick, too! Under 30 minutes to unbox, haul up the hill and flight of stairs, and assemble. Very impressive! Show details · 1
Reached out about an area of the lounge that was lax. Repairman came on time, made the repair and lounge as good as new. Professional and courteous repairman. Very happy with service and outcome. Great job. Show reply
There are many options in stores, but what reassured me was the attentive service regarding the need to fit through narrow doorways and the guarantee of a product with excellent finish and durability. Show details · 1

Follow-up · The deliver now is approx 9 week, not good enough, still waiting for account, still waiting on accounts to contact us regarding compensation, we will never buy from your company again, your customer service is terrible

We have just had Riaz here to fix our couch which had a creaking noise in since new. He was very efficient and found one piece of the 3 pieces hadn’t been clipped together from setup. He clipped it in and the noise has gone. Very happy with Riaz, very pleasant and friendly guy, a pleasure to have him fix the problem. Highly recommend him. Show reply
Follow-up · It did fix for a few weeks but still creaks and pillow feathers have flattened quite quickly

George serviced our sofa today, it just needed a few nuts and bolts tightened. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Thanks again George for your friendly and efficient service. Show reply
We bought a plush recliner which is only 2 yrs old and we had a problem with the cushion on one side which had sagged ,Frank Martelli came out on time & adjusted the problem it is like new again , great service thank you very much Show details · 1
Frank Martelli was fantastic. I had lost my hearing aid down the side of the recliner, but couldn’t find it when we pulled the lounge out. Frank found it easily when he disconnected the recliner. He was efficient, polite and a really nice guy. Thank you Nick Scali, your after sale service is brilliant. Kind Regards, Jan Whitaker Show details · 1

Really disappointing experience with this store. I bought a couch in May and was told it would take around 10–12 weeks. At week 11, I called to get an update and was told it would actually take another 4 weeks. They said this was mentioned on the invoice, but that wasn’t what I was told when I purchased it. At week 15, I called again and waited… Read more
almost 50 minutes for someone to answer, just to be told I would need to wait at least another 2 weeks. I told them I was really unhappy with the lack of communication and updates. They said their system had been down for weeks, which honestly shouldn’t be the customer’s problem. I even said, “If it was time for me to pay, would you accept it if I said my bank had been down for weeks?” They didn’t really have an answer. Then the call got disconnected or was hung up, and no one even bothered to call me back. I understand delays can happen, but keeping customers updated is basic customer service. Really poor communication and customer service overall, and a very frustrating experience.

The men who delivered one of our three sofas were outstanding. Five stars to them. We were kept guessing for weeks on end after that. The people at the show room are also very fancy. Put together. Really good service. The other end of delivery was absolutely pitiful. Weeks without any solid information. They have many… Read more
different on and off shore call centers, filled with outstanding people who cannot help you. Their systems were down for weeks. We learnt about "The cyber attack" in the news. They never informed us that our phone number, names and addresses were compromised. Just said for weeks on end : "Our systems are down".
The news showed their comments that mentioned no customer details were compromised.
Even though our address, phone number and put names are all out there now.
It reminded me that I should change my last legal name, every once in a while. Perhaps I will just use Scali next time. For the most recent data breach.

My experience with Nick Scali in 3 words - Deceiptful, Deliberate misrepresentation, Liars. 5 year extended Warranty and fabric cleaning products at a cost of $399 absolutely rubbish, save your money and give this a miss. Nick Scali has highlighted to me that it is nothing more than a mid level furniture retailer, that tries to brain wash buyers by extensive media advertising. Stores like Fantastic Furniture, Focus on Furniture much better.

I ordered a couch and bed from Nick Scali and chose specific items for being in stock. Sales assistant guaranteed us delivery for the 12th of August which was then pushed back to the 18th and now no one can find my order or guarantee me a delivery date. I'm 30 weeks pregnant and moved into a new place with no couch and a mattress on the floor.… Read more
They keep saying they are processing orders as normal and delivering which is a lie because they cannot give you a delivery date or won't return your calls. I've never seen such bad service and they have been using the excuse of systems being down for three weeks. My items were suppose to be in stock which was a lie. Stay away as they are just taking deposits at the moment and then not delivering.

DO NOT BUY FROM NICK SCALI. I ordered a sofa online and Nick Scali took the full amount over the phone. The delivery date came and went and now nobody can find my order. I have contacted them multiple times and each time I am told somebody will call me back that day and nobody does. So they have basically taken my money and appear to have no intention of delivering my sofa. I am going to go to the Office of Fair Trading to lodge a complaint. Show details
