I am writing to express my concerns
I am writing to express my concerns regarding my recent bad experience with Koala living I purchased a mirror and three stools from the Alexandria shop While two of the stools arrived in perfect condition one stool was delivered with a mark on the seat caused by the metal legs frame I have attached a photo for reference When I contacted your company I was informed that an exchange was not possible because the delivery box had not been opened immediately on the delivery day As I was in the middle of a home renovation I kept all the items in their original packaging which I understand is a policy issue but it s been quite frustrating to deal with Now regarding the mirror the Alexandria shop scheduled its delivery for December 12th and I have been eagerly waiting for two months However no one reached out to me to confirm the delivery details When I called the company I was informed that the full payment had not been made I am quite puzzled as to why the full payment was not processed at the time of purchase especially since I was prepared to pay the entire amount upfront Furthermore I was not contacted about any outstanding balance and now the delivery is delayed again This is causing further inconvenience as I was hoping to complete my home before Christmas While I ve had a positive experience in the store itself I am disappointed with the lack of communication and support following the sale It s been frustrating to have to navigate these issues on my own

Koala living furniture cheaply made in China
Koala living damaged my new furniture then sent out a specialist to fix but the specilist made it worse breaking a zip in furniture headrest A month later they sent out another specialist to fix but this specialist didn t know how to replace a headrest As he had never done this job before after a hour of persistent he gave up taking the damaged headrest to another specialist

BEWARE WHEN PURCHASING ON-LINE FROM
BEWARE WHEN PURCHASING ON-LINE FROM KOALA LIVINGBEWARE WHEN PURCHASING ON-LINE FROM KOALA LIVINGI am very disappointed with my experience in trying to purchase furniture from this company I found barstools on their website and wanted to know if these chairs were on display in any of their stores in Sydney NSW so that I could see the product before committing to an online purchase It turns out that you can t call the store directly you have to call a central call centre and the operator can only email the store with your request I waited 24hrs for someone to get back to me which they never did So again I called the call centre and the operator informed me that there were no chairs on display anywhere I then asked what the refund policy was and here s the kicker If you purchase a product online and then change your mind because it doesn t work in your home you have to pay the return delivery fee which is fine BUT Koala will then take an extra 30 from your refund because you changed your mind Nevermind I wasn t able to see the advertised product on display and that I was the one taking a chance with the purchase I m expected to purchase blindly and forfeit a portion of my refund I won t be buying from this store

2 years and still waiting for the
2 years and still waiting for the refund Koala living had no stock and has kept my money for over 2 years not having chosen to do the right thing and provide a full refund not a part refund for one item and full for the rest Fingers crossed someone with customer service common sense gets this and rectifies it

Worst company ever - DO NOT BUY
Worst company ever please do not ship from them I ordered a beige chair and they delivered me a green chair I went back requested that my chair be replaced from what I saw in the store which was beige they kept telling me what I have received is beige besides sending them several pictures They don t call you just send you nasty emails instead It s quite tortourous to deal with them won t accept their mistake Please DO NOT buy from them - complete fraud Their sales assistant said terrible things to us like we have change of mind so we want to send it back - besides us asking for replacing chair and not asking money back Horrible horrible sales team - save yourself the headache please as you can see all reviews below advise the same

Awful experience Sent us the wrong table top colour TWICE Eventually they just say that the colour received was correct and blamed it on us There is obviously an issue with their factory delivery process DO NOT BUY
