Verdict
Overall sentiment is largely positive, with customers expressing high satisfaction regarding the quality and comfort of the furniture, alongside the professionalism of showroom and delivery personnel. While many report a seamless purchasing journey, a segment of buyers encounters frustrating delays and communication hurdles during delivery and after-sales support. Ultimately, when issues do arise, dedicated support staff often succeed in turning the experience around, though consistency in backend logistics remains an area for improvement.
Disappointing Warranty Experience with King Living I purchased King Living furniture expecting a premium product backed by premium after-sales service. Unfortunately, my experience with the warranty process has been extremely disappointing. The seat inserts had previously required replacement in August 2022. More recently, a King Living… Read more
technician inspected the furniture and found one 900mm seat insert to be “quite soft” and the other “slightly soft.” Despite this, King Living has rejected my warranty claim, stating that the condition is normal wear and tear and that no manufacturing, material or structural defect was identified.
What concerns me most is that King Living has declined to provide me with a copy of the technician’s report, saying it is an internal document. I am therefore being asked to accept their conclusion without being able to review the report on which that conclusion is based.
I also asked what reasonable lifespan King Living expects from its replacement cushion inserts, but was told that they cannot provide a fixed lifespan because it depends on use, weight distribution and care.
For furniture marketed as a premium product, I expected greater durability, transparency and customer support—particularly when components had already been replaced previously.
Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that prospective customers carefully consider the warranty terms and ask specifically about the expected lifespan and warranty coverage of cushion inserts before purchasing.
I hope King Living’s senior management will review this matter and provide a fair and transparent resolution.
Have bought many items from King Living. Can’t fault their process from the sales team to delivery. Yes there were some issues but these were rectified so efficiently that you forget that they even existed. Show details · 1

Very happy with my new Jasper suite. It looks fantastic, is extremely comfortable and feels very well made. The design is stylish without being overdone, and it works perfectly in my space. Very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it. Show details · 1
Received my King Cloud recliner on time but 2 brackets were missing in the package. Rang customer service and she was very good and efficient. Next minute I received a call from Anya the sales representative and she investigated and had 2 brackets ready for me. It's a very nice and comfy recliner and the colour is fantastic. I would give the… Read more · 1
thumbs up to the logistic team especially Angela who follows everything through and Jane who posted me the 2 brackets eventhough I have collected from their warehouse in Altona. Nina from customer service was very patient and cheerful and ensure that I get through to the logistic team to confirm my delivery schedule. Well done team though brackets missing!

Alan from King Southbank was so helpful and really patient with our millions of questions and advice of fabric choices . A+ I’d highly recommend ask for him .

We visited the Fortitude Valley showroom and Richard, the salesperson, was extremely helpful in providing information about the Delta suite we were interested in. We loved the versatility of how the suite could be assembled. We were advised an approximate delivery date after ordering and paying the deposit. Several weeks prior to that date we were… Read more · 1
advised the lounge was ready and we should make the final payment. After payment we were told that the delivery team would contact us to organise delivery. We did not hear from anyone so after a week I contacted the delivery team and arranged delivery for 11 August. We were told that we would receive communication the day before with a 3 hour delivery window. We did not get this communication so I contacted the delivery team on the morning of 11 August and spoke with Bryce. He was wonderful and followed immediately after discovering the lounge would not be delivered on 11th even though he could see that it had been scheduled for that date but he had rescheduled delivery for 13th. He contacted me several times during the next 2 days ensuring that I had received confirmation of delivery. He really gave me confidence that everything was now arranged. Bryce is a real asset to the delivery customer service team. Our lounge arrived on 13 August and we were very happy with the two men who delivered the lounge and set it up for us. We love our new King Living lounge.
Jimmy was excellent he was very meticulous with assembly of our lounge and supplied felt pads so as not to damage our timber floors. He was friendly and gave us a few helpful tips Show details · 1
From the visit to the showroom and time with Amy, to the delivery and installation by Diego and Danny, our experience with King has been amazing. It's probably the best purchasing experience we've ever had. I should mention that we absolutely love our new lounge! It has arrived today and we've basically been sitting on it ever since.

was a significant purchase for us but feel the quality and value precisely match.
Here's to more years of sitting with our family and loving this space!

We purchased a King sofa over 15 years ago and since then we’ve had two teenagers, 3 dogs, 2 cats and a couple of toddlers use it. It now resides in our bedroom and will for many years. When we were doing a small interior renovation and wanted new furniture our only choice was King Furniture. We purchased a Jasper in premium leather, a marble… Read more · 1
coffee table and some Bongos and the look great. Sabine from King Brisbane was awesome and spent so much time with us even to the point of taking leather swatches outside so we got a real perspective on colour. We liased with Fria from King logistics who made it possible to get our furniture a week early the very day we got home from holidays…she was so helpful. The delivery guys arrived slightly earlier than arranged and the furniture in place, rubbish cleaned up and were gone in a flash…King furniture isn’t cheap buts it great. If you want stuff that’s going to go the distance the check out King Furniture…seamless process from start to finish .
Great service, delivery and we’re LOVING our new lounge. It’s perfect for our living room and so comfy. The fabric feels really lovely too Show details · 1
I recently bought a Leather 3 seater King recliner in a clearance sale. It arrived without the cables. I wasn’t sure as it was on clearance if I would get much assistance.

Exceptional service from Nax and Diego, very quick and so helpful in showing us how to use the special functions of the sofa. They took all the rubbish with them and from an earlier delivery too. Definitely recommend King and their team. Show details · 1
Follow-up · Absolutely love the sofa and the chairs we bought. The fabrics are great. The functionality of the sofa is excellent, so smooth and easy to use and it’s very comfortable. Would definitely recommend to others.
There was a lot of furniture to deliver, 2 trucks, 4 men and they were very professional and obliging, worked together to get the job done, after assembling some pieces they took all the boxes with them. Would recommend King Furniture and their choice of delivery men. Show details · 2
Follow-up · Assembly time was efficient all men worked together well. Booking was professional and on time Packaging was great, the cherry on the cake is they removed all the packaging and left the area clean of any mess.

We recently experienced an issue with our King Living sofa, which had become discoloured over time. Naturally, we were disappointed, but from the moment we contacted King Living's aftercare team, the experience completely exceeded our expectations. Oliver Sedillo and the customer support team were exceptional throughout the entire process. They… Read more · 1
were professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to finding a solution. Communication was clear and consistent, and we were kept informed every step of the way.
What could have been a stressful situation was handled with care, understanding, and a strong focus on customer satisfaction. King Living not only resolved our concerns but also provided us with options that left us feeling valued as customers. The goodwill gestures and level of support we received were above and beyond what we expected.
A special thank you to Oliver for his patience, kindness, and dedication. It's rare to encounter this level of after-sales service, and it's a credit to both him and King Living.
While the original issue was disappointing, the way King Living stood behind their product and looked after us has given us complete confidence in the brand. We are extremely grateful and would not hesitate to recommend King Living based on the quality of their aftercare service.

***update: had a phone call from king within 3 hours of opening the day after my review and they have addressed all 3 of my issues including ordering replacement speaker stands, couch leather and arranging technicians to come and fix the stool. This has done a lot to increase my confidence in the brand. I was assured that the leather issue is… Read more
likely a rare fault to do with a potential blemish on the hide itself which could have led to the blistering of the stain, the speaker stand issue they assured is not something they have had reported previously but have sent replacements regardless. I have increased the rating of my review from 1 to 3 stars while I await complete resolution of the issues raised, and will update once again on satisfactory resolution of the issues identified. The replacement parts will still take quite some time to arrive, but the items are functional to use in the meantime (aside from the speaker mount). I am genuinely impressed by the speed and completeness of king livings reaponse following my raising these issues.
We purchased several King Living products for our home, totalling approximately $15,000, believing we were buying premium Australian-designed furniture that would provide many years of reliable use. Unfortunately, our experience has been extremely disappointing.
The King Cloud Recliner in Origin Tan alone has now had three significant issues in less than seven months of domestic use.
First, the electronic touch reclining mechanism intermittently failed to operate and would sometimes become stuck in the reclined position. We lodged a warranty claim and replacement mechanisms took several months to arrive. When the technician eventually attended, he told us this was a known issue and that King was continuing to supply lounges with the existing mechanism, replacing it only when customers subsequently reported the fault. He said he had replaced many of these mechanisms. The replacement has fortunately worked correctly since.
The second issue is considerably more concerning: the leather on the centre seat cushion has begun blistering and peeling after less than seven months of use. A technician has advised that it cannot be repaired or patched and the entire leather cover needs to be replaced. We previously owned a King Cloud purchased in 2016 and never experienced a single leather problem. When we asked whether this was a known issue, the technician told us King had changed the staining/finishing process used on newer lounges and that he had seen this type of problem recurring. This is particularly disappointing given the Origin Tan leather is advertised as hard-wearing and soft to the touch.
Then, just this week, we experienced a third failure — the genuine King Sonos speaker mount attached to the arm of the lounge completely broke. The speaker fell when I was simply plugging its power cord into a new power board underneath the lounge. There was no impact or accidental damage. The component holding the speaker mounting plate appears to be plastic and failed under the weight of the speaker it is specifically designed to support. The speaker is now unable to be safely mounted.
We have also purchased two Cassia counter stools, which have been equally disappointing. Once assembled, they wobble with gentle pressure despite being tightened as much as possible, and the footrest pole falls out under slight pressure. They are technically usable, but we now use them with extreme caution because we cannot trust them to remain stable under normal movement.
The contrast with our previous King Cloud, which we owned for years without any problems, is particularly frustrating. We genuinely believed we were buying a premium product and expected it to provide many years of reliable use.
We have four other King products that have so far been fine, although they receive considerably less daily use. Unfortunately, the products we use most — the lounge and stools — have been a completely different story.
Our warranty claims for the blistering leather and broken speaker mount remain unresolved, and we are now considering seeking a full refund for the lounge rather than accepting another replacement, given the number and nature of the failures after such a short period.
The problems themselves are disappointing, but so is the process: months waiting for replacement parts and lengthy delays before repairs are carried out turn what should be a premium purchase into a significant ongoing headache.
We paid a premium price because we expected premium quality, durability and reliability. At this stage, we have serious concerns about whether this lounge will come anywhere close to the longevity we expected when spending this amount of money.
I would strongly recommend that anyone considering a significant King Living purchase research the current quality and warranty experience carefully before spending their money. Our previous King Cloud gave us complete confidence in the brand; unfortunately, our experience with the newer products has significantly changed that view

Exceptional Quality, But Even More Exceptional Service We recently purchased a King Living Max Modular Couch, and from the moment we received it, we knew we had made the right choice.

that has been designed and crafted to be enjoyed for many years. You can genuinely feel the quality in it, and it is wonderful to purchase something where the workmanship lives up to the reputation of the brand. But while we are absolutely delighted with our couch, there is one person I feel deserves a very special mention — Jessy. Jessy went far beyond what we could ever have expected from a customer service representative. They took the time to listen, understand what we needed and genuinely cared about helping us. Their patience, kindness, professionalism and willingness to keep helping made such a difference to our experience. What really touched me was that Jessy never made us feel like we were just another customer or another number. They treated us with genuine care and respect, and they stayed committed to helping until everything was sorted. And sadly, that kind of service seems to be becoming increasingly rare. In a world where customer service can sometimes feel rushed, impersonal and difficult to find, Jessy reminded us what outstanding customer service actually looks like. People like Jessy deserve to be recognised. They didn't simply do their job — they cared enough to go the extra mile, and that meant a great deal to us. I sincerely hope this feedback reaches the people at King Living who need to see it, because Jessy's effort should absolutely be acknowledged and congratulated. Having someone like this representing your company is something to be proud of. So, a huge thank you to King Living for creating such a beautiful, high-quality product, but an especially heartfelt thank you to Jessy for the care, patience and support you gave us. We couldn't be happier with our Max Modular Couch, and our experience with King Living has been made all the more special because of the way Jessy looked after us. Exceptional product. Exceptional workmanship. And exceptional people.
Thank you to the whole King Living team — and especially to Jessy — for such a fantastic experience.

I recently made an order for a small part for my couch, and was assisted by Jessy who was wonderful to deal with. I appreciate excellent customer service, thank you for your help Jessy ♥️ Show details · 1
Delivery of the product was great through BG delivery. Customer service trying to change delivery not so great - don’t want to be talking to an AI chat bot that doesn’t understand, books in a phone call with a person that doesn’t call back. Why can’t we just call the store directly? Show details · 1
We recently ordered a shelving unit from King Living. Once we started assembling the shelves, we noticed some parts (brackets) were missing. I contacted Jessy via their support email and explained our situation. Our issue was handled with urgency and the missing parts posted to us. We were able to complete the install and the unit looks great! I truly appreciated Jessy's prompt attention and rectification of our issue. Show reply

We submitted a concern for a faulty bed part back in June which required a small piece in the bed to be replaced and we are now in September and the service team continue to string me along, say the part is in the WA warehouse one week and then claim it hasn't arrived when I follow up. I still havent had my bed fixed almost 3 months later and when… Read more
we try and phone the service department they continue to hang up on us and there is no follow up on urgency in addressing or fixing our faulty bed. For a company that sells furniture in the thousands of the dollars, the service has been exceptionally disgraceful and im still left with a broken bed. Do not shop at king living.

1/5 Stars: Absolute Customer Service and Delivery Disaster – Avoid King Living!I have never experienced such a shocking level of incompetence, broken promises, and sheer disrespect for a customer’s time. King Living has failed to deliver my items three separate times, despite me having both explicit verbal and written confirmations with scheduled… Read more
dates for every single attempt.The worst part is not just the failed deliveries—it is the complete lack of accountability and communication. King Living did not call me once to apologize or notify me of a delay. In fact, their logistics team didn't even realize my items hadn't been delivered until I spent hours proactively calling them to track down my order.Every interaction with their customer service department results in nothing but continued failed promises. They take your money, lock you into a delivery date, make you stay home to wait for them, and then simply vanish without a trace. When you call to complain, you are met with empty excuses and zero resolution.For a brand that markets itself as a premium furniture retailer, their post-purchase support and delivery operations are a total circus. Save yourself the immense headache, the wasted days off work, and the endless phone queues. Do not buy from King Living. Their beautiful showrooms mask an absolute nightmare of a customer service department.

Booked delivery for 27/8. Delivery was scheduled for 20/8. Whilst overseas on holidays I received comms saying I “confirmed” my delivery for 20/8. Given that I’ve barely had any reception for 2 weeks, there’s no possible way I could have “confirmed” an earlier delivery. I have a whole household of king furniture and after ongoing issues with this brand I’ll be future planning to change over to something more reliable.
