Fantastic Furniture Tribeca 3 Seater
Reviewer Photos & Videos
Poor quality, will not buy from them again!
Had the lounges 3 years and now all the "leather" is peeling in all different places. Contacted Fantastic Furniture and told this is "wear and tear" so they won't cover it. Upon further inspection, I now realise this is a common problem with this range. I will be seeking further advice from consumer affairs
Purchased in January 2022.
Once again "After further investigation, this is deemed normal wear and tear." No it is not wear and tear, real leather does not peel!

Ordered some products in the 13th December with the estimated delivery time of 5-15 business days, called customer service after the delivery dates to be told they don’t know where they are and don’t know when they would be delivered just wait! When I asked why they weren’t delivered I was hung up on and again when I called back. Very poor customer service so far, after a bit a couple of items arrived but not all and the ones that did were left outside on their own with a txt sent saying they were delivered, on the 7th January still waiting fo...
Read morer one of the products I called again to be told yet again that they didn’t know where it was and when it would be delivered so I canceled the order for that product as it was well after the due date so we got a similar item from super Amart (where we should have gone to start with) delivered the next day therefore wanted a refund for that product, got a email from customer service on the 11th saying they were waiting for the product to be returned before they processed the refund. Sent another email asking about it on the 14th with no reply, sent another email on the 19th to get a reply on the 21st January saying the refund was being processed and would take 7-10 business days. Thinking it was all sorted the product turns up on the doorstep on the 25th January (it was obviously rejected by us and sent back straight away) and a email saying your product has been delivered therefore want to cancel your refund. After trying to contact customer support and being told no one was there to help us we get another email saying it will take 7-10 business days for a refund (heard that before) So still waiting for a very unprofessional and very rude team of customer service people to refund our money after 45 days of A hair pulling experience. Still thinking it’s a scam I hope no one else has to go through what we did. Needless to say we will NEVER EVER shop with fantastic furniture again.Purchased in December 2020.
By the way as per the tracking info we did get it’s been 6km away from its destination since the 21 December and try’s to get delivered on the 24th January.

Terrible quality dont buy
I to have had exactly the same issue, with our 2.5 seater. I was told it was leather. I contacted the store 2 years ago and was told sorry its out of warranty.
How can you keep selling an item that its clearly faulty. Ours has hardly been used. It looks terrible. All cracked and peeling

SCAMMED by Fantastic Furniture
****Save yourself the hassle - do not buy from this company****
We bought a 3 seater lounge and a 2 seater lounge (and later an office chair) only to have them fall apart the same way as everyone else. Sold to us as "leather" but it wasn't - it was a very thin polyurethane (they even sold leather cleaner to complete the SCAM!). I even have the original documentation and sales catalogue to prove it - they don't dare call it anything but PU or PVC now.
At first I didn't realise what had happened - the Moore Park store replaced it and said it wa...
Read mores just a "bad batch". Guess what? It's happened again because it was NEVER leather to begin with. By phone they said it should have never been told it was a bad batch since there were all kinds of problems with these and the ACCC found against Fantastic (in other words all batches are bad!). But as soon as I sent the photos they've suddenly said it's "Out of warranty"! Just like other reviews. Guess what? Scams don't go out of warranty - they were and are scams which need to be rectified. All I asked for was a replacement with something which is not this product. Next stop the ACCC, Instagram and the administrative tribunal which I'm prepping papers for right now. ****Save yourself the hassle - do not buy from this company****Purchased in January 2015.

Sofa Scam, Fantastic Furniture!!
Purchased 2 X 2 seat sofa and 1x3 seat sets from Caroline Springs Fantastic Furniture April 2017 and were delivered in May 2017. Recently, I noticed that the covers are fading and foam sagging.
At start I thought it was just normal but then I noticed that the back and base foam was breaking/distorted and lumpy inside. Our sofa sets are placed inside living area with no sun or pets in house and so disappointed The sofa sets were always used inside and we don't even have pets at home so disappointed to get this poor quality furniture after spend...

Poor Quality, Peeling issue
I had bought 2 sofa sets from Fantastic Furniture and those were delivered sometime in mid-2014. Towards mid last year ( around Jul 2018), I noticed that the covers had started to peel off. Initially I
thought it was just fading but then I realized that the bonded leather was coming off. The sofa sets were always used in gentle manner and we don't even have pets at home so it was disappointing to see poor
quality furniture. I thought that the warranty had expired, because I was told at the time of sale that it was for 3 years so did not check...

Leather scam!! Beware of Fantastic Furniture!!!
I was sold a two and three seat leather couch in 2006. Back then I paid a fair bit and was told it was genuine leather. The couches have sat in our occasional lounge, out of the sun and rarely used and they just peeled - like everyone elses about 5 years ago, I am currently too sad to replace them so about 2 years ago I just purchased some ALDI couch covers so I don't have to look at them. You expect to have a leather couch that you look after and don't use much for a long time - hence why we bother to buy leather. I just feel ripped off because I was lied to by the shop assistant. And as I am not the first one reporting the hoax, the practice is obviously endorsed by management and has been going on for a loooong time.
Purchased in November 2006 at Fantastic Furniture for $1,600.

We purchased a two and a three seater tribeca. It was sold as a leather lounge at a leather price. It has been peeling for a while and decided to look in to it, it's out of warranty. Definitely not leather. Very disdisappointed. Won't buy from fantastic furniture again.

Downtown sofa with bed
Can anyone tell me if they have bought this couch?
It looks good, however it seems to slope down in the front & is so hard, I ache after sitting on it a while, also the fabric buckles up after sitting on it for 1 week.
I would be interested to hear if anyone else has had the same problem.

Disaster - so called 'leather' peeling
I am very disappointed with this sofa (I have a Tivoli 3 seater which is of the same type as Tribeca). I bought it on 31/10/2015 and was told it was a leather sofa. Obviously it is not. So called 'leather' started cracking, bubling and peeling very badly.
For this price i would expect better quality! I know i bought it 3 years ago, but by looking at all reviews here my sofa is not sole example of issue with it and i expect it to be take care of. After 3 years it looks terrible and it is a shame to have it at home!
I have bought a lot of furniters at Fantastic Furniture and am pleased with all of them - this is the only bad, very bad, terrible product i have from them.

PEELING!!!
I purchased the Tribeca Chaise 3 seater on 18/06/2015 from Fantastic Furniture Tuggerah with added bonded leather warranty. I have only every used the Guardsman Cleaning products purchased with the lounge.
I only wish that I had read these review before purchase because I like many here have problematic peeling that started approx 21/2 years after purchase. I would expect that a lounge that cost this amount of money and is well looked after would last longer than 3 years. So disappointed!!!
Hi Anika, we're sorry to hear you're having issues with your Tribeca sofa. We've received your email and have arranged for the Tuggerah store to contact you directly to assist with a warranty claim. Regards Annie and the Fantastic team

Horrible - never buy this or any other leather look sofa from fantastic furniture
I have the same experience as the other reviewers. Purchased Tribeca 2 + 3 seater lounge in June 2014, before I could finish 4 years it started to peel. Now I have to replace it.
I contacted the store and told them what happened - same reply - Sofa is out of warranty. Spent $1600 on two sofas and now those need to replace those in less than 4 years.
Very very disappointed. And it seems it is a problem will all fantastic furniture leather look lounges.

Not once but twice!
Bought the Tribeca 2 seater and 3 seater set back in Dec 2011 and paid good money for it. In March 2015, the 3 seater started to peel everywhere. Took it in-store and they replaced it with a new one under warranty (that was also a hassle and a half). 3 years down, the same issue all over again. These couches seem to be on a timer and self destruct every 3 years.
Now obviously the store is refusing to entertain me because I am "well out of warranty". I emailed the store asking what can be done to restore this. I didn't ask to be covered under warranty. I got a response saying what I know already - that the couch is out of warranty. End of story. Deeply disappointed and angry.
