Caring customer service.
In times when things are rather strange I can only say how wonderful king livings customer service can be.
After having some initial (and understandable) issues with getting in to King to view their extensive furniture catalogue I was called by their Australian head of sales and provided a personal valet by their NSW State Manaager in store.
We browsed and bought and felt like nothing was too hard.
Thank you King Living. Perfect.

Surprised to see negative comments
Purchased my Jasper 10 years ago. Didn't get the extra expensive leather, just standard. I have 2 dogs & 2 cats & sofa still looks great. Wondering if we are only seeing the negative comments & there's 1000's of happy customers out there?

Nice couch but susceptible to wear and tear.
Love the look and feel of our Jasper modular sofa, but do regret buying the expensive Italian made Prestige leather given the wear it has noticeably endured since arriving at our house in mid 2022. Two cushions already have had saddle coloured leather lifted off the seat cushions and the replacement costs to have them re-covered is $500 for the smaller seat cushions. I wouldn’t recommend buying this if you have young kids and want the leather to last.

Never again
Nice Lounge and stain resistant, however after spending $7,000.00 and after 4 1/2 years old, the springs have gone on 1 cushion. After speaking to King, they advised not covered under warranty, so I need to replace seat. Still awaiting quote but I know this will not be cheap. If I had bought this lounge from Fantastic Furniture or bought a $2,000.00 lounge I could accept that I may need to buy a new lounge. We do not have young children and there is only 2 of us using the lounge. Would have not expected to have this issue after spending this much money and particularly knowing it was from King Furniture.

Honestly one of the best purchases I have EVER made
Bought a King Lounge because so many people I know have had them for 10years+. Let me tell you it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. Not only does it look incredible, but it’s so comfortable to sit on, even if you suffer from chronic back pain like me. I often fall asleep on it for the duration of the night. Fluffing up isn’t too bad and it feels brand new again every time you do it.
Almost bought a Natuzzi or a Nick Scali lounge though at King, I had an outstanding experience in store all the way to my home. I never write reviews...Read more
but I think this lounge is worthy of one because it’s phenomenal. And we should be supporting great Aussie companies. I would like to shout out to Maria from the Annandale store who provided us with world class service. She knew that I did not have a flare for design and was a bit nervous in making such a big purchase. So she took the reigns, examined my property/colours, then helped me make decisions very easily and comfortably. If she didn’t think something looked good, she wouldn’t hesitate in shutting it down (gently). I absolutely loved this about Maria and it gave me a lot of confidence about my purchase. All in all, this Jasper lounge has gotten 2 more of my friends to want to immediately buy one. I was lucky enough to get it on sale though it’s still more expensive than most other lounges. Trust and believe that it is worth the money. As the centrepiece of our home, everyone who comes over fights for the chaise and compliments us. Just to clarify - I am not in anyway a secret King Furniture employee nor am I being incentivised in any way for this review. I just know that when I love something this much, I want to evangelise it and ensure people share in the joy.Purchased in October 2021 at King Living NSW, Annandale for A$4,999.00.

Fabulous sofa!
I bought a King Living Jasper 1A package in cord material over 12.5 years ago. It's been a brilliant sofa and still looks new, although faded a bit with sun over the years which is to be expected. I'm really surprised at the negative comments. The cushions haven't sagged and no pilling. I'm selling my house at present and the only reason I'm replacing it is that the real estate agents suggested moving half of it outside to the back deck, to make the living area look bigger. There was a massive storm and the chaise got drenched. Fortunatel...Read more
y, insurance paid out and I've gone back and bought another Jasper II - 1A. I could have chosen another sofa but was so happy with the first one, why change. I still love the look of it, it hasn't dated. I really hope the new one is the same as the old one in quality as I couldn't be happier with the old model. The sales support at Fortitude Valley was amazing (thanks Ben, Dan and Richard :-)), really great service and I ended up buying an additional chair, ottoman and rug to go with it. Order time was better than expected. I've bought other items from King Living over the years and all have been great! I recommend buying the Jasper :-)Purchased in May 2021 at King Living QLD, Fortitude Valley for A$4,600.00.

Tried and tested!
I just wanted to put a review out there for those looking at the Jasper, I have had lots of different couches over the years and the one that my family and I loved the most was a brown cord Jasper, at least 15 years old and other than the colour being dated it was still in good condition. We have just sold it with a holiday property but if you can handle the back cushions slouching a bit, it is a winner. It has been the most comfy of all the couches so much I have just reordered another one. I'd recommend darker fabric for family use and I have found the after sales customer support brilliant.

Great Product but very Poor After Sales Service
Received our Jasper lounge after a long wait, however, one of the shelves were damaged. Replacement was organised a fortnight after, but wrong replacement was sent. We were told that another replacement will be organised..did not hear anything so we called them a few days later. Sounds like the driver did not tell the after sales team as they only organised for a replacement when we called them. Overall we had a great sales experience when purchasing from Chatswood, product is great, but just very disappointed with the after sales service, who does not seem interested in service recovery.

Falling apart after 2 years (after 6 months there was already issues)
This lounge has been the most disappointing purchase. Spent over 11k, having the service guys out after 6 months. It is only two years old and now out of warranty - we are having to glue it back together ourselves. We followed the guidelines about keeping feather lounges and it still has looked horrible and like it is 10 years old. The expected upkeep is also ridiculous, something they dont mention until after you have bought it. Takes about 2 hours every week to shift them around, fluff up etc. Please do not waste your money and choose carefully.

So disappointed
I wish I had read the reviews before buying. 2 adults who work full time so not heavily used. I rotate all seating, cushions and chaise weekly so for 3 years all looked fine but now the chaise has sagged so badly it is most uncomfortable. On contacting King I am told I need to pay $120 for someone to inspect and advise the repair costs. Seriously!! My last lounge was 10 years old and passed on to someone else as it was quite good. The frame may have a lifetime warranty, but the rest comes at a cost. Don't be fooled. I can not recommend the Jasper

Wish I read all of the online comments prior to purchasing
We have had our lounge for a couple years and I'm looking at replacing it already. Almost immediately the cushions saged and it looked very old and worn (even with plumping daily). To be honest who has the time to plump their lounge cushions every day, it is quite frustrating. I wonder if they were filled with more filling if they would hold their shape more? The side shelfing (we got black) is also looking very worn. I am shocked because the price we paid doesnt reflect the quality you'd expect. I loved the look and design of the lounge however the quality and function does not fit our needs, wished I researched more and read other comments made about the lounge.

Pilling Fabric Within The First 6 Months
We spent over $9,000 on a Jasper II with chaise covered in Palm Beach Whitewash fabric, already pilling in the first six months. Definitely did not expect this to happen given the price point and celebrity endorsement. Waiting for Customer Service to reply to my email and photo.

We maintain leather cleaning and conditioning, and it looks and feels fantastic. We get a lot of compliments for it.

Allergy suffers - do not buy
We purchased our Jasper 13 + Chair T104 in 2014. The fabric, which has stood up really well over time and is easy to spot clean and the feather cushions are very comfortable. After purchasing the couch I started getting terrible allergies every time I walked into the house. We eventually worked out it was an allergy to THE JASPER couch feathers and possibly the King Guard. After spending over $6,000 we couldn't bring ourselves to get rid of the couch, we looked into having it re-upholstered in leather for an added barrier and to stop the feathe...Read more
rs poking through the fabric. We were quoted over $9,000 + $250 installation to have this done! We couldn't believe it. We could purchase the whole couch in leather NEW for this price. The customer service and after-care in the Nedlands store has never been great from the time of purchase to-date, and representatives weren't very helpful in offering any other solutions (such as different inserts). The back cushions are out of shape and take a lot of encouragement to get back to normal and the wooden shelving chips easily. It's been nearly 2yrs since we started investigating our options and my allergies are still really bad whenever I lounge on the couch for prolonged periods. DO YOUR RESEARCH before you spend the money. If you have allergies DO NOT purchase this couch with feather inserts.Purchased in June 2021.

Waste of money
I have owned a King Furniture Jasper lounge for several years now and absolutely hate it. The back support cushions have lost their shape and my couch looks terrible, the cord fabric has also become very worn and stiff over time. When I complained to king furniture the advice I was given was to throw the back cushion on the floor several times to get it back into shape. In reality I would need to do this everyday. Also I am constantly picking up feathers that keep popping out of the cushions. Never ever again will I purchase another lounge from King Furniture.

The trusted name can’t be trusted
I bought the Jasper II and got delivered on 23 Oct to my new unit. Delivery isn’t perfect as they didn’t show us how to as some reviews mentioned. Also, they didn’t mention missing items - 2 bed brackets and the magic joiner. I asked for the bed bracket when couldn’t see it any where, they just ask me to ring the office. Later on I find out that there is no magic joiner put in either. These items were out of stocks, we should be notified ahead instead of dealing in this manner.

arts which I am surprise of the poor quality. They put one shelf up & the other low, There is no bracket put on so I wonder if this is properly assembled. It is only 3 weeks since delivery and the shelf didn’t last, this should be fixed or replaced at no cost, also they need to send someone to show us how to put the magic joiner and other assemble tips. It is just a normal delivery and not as good as mentioned in some reviews, may be bad luck.3 comments

Comfortable cruelty
I do sadly regret buying a jasper, we find it super comfortable but cleaning is a strain. Piling occurred within two weeks and we were barely using it, customer service were no help and no knowledge or advice on fabric from the sales rep. I have had quotes to clean it - very expensive and they cannot guarantee the result even with the protection guard. I wish we did more research before paying $5500.00. Previous lounge of 10 years was from Harvey Norman super comfy and never had an issue at half the price.

Questions & Answers
Rachael D.asked
i would like to know if there is anything being done about the material and the veneer wearing and aging sooner rather than later.
We are trying to decide to invest in a quality product like this but the problems expressed here are quite concerning considering the amount to money to purchase this product?
3 answers
I'm happy with the material, I've had to touch up the vaneer after we didn't use coasters initially. If the back cushions held their shape better and we didn't still get feathers poking out of the fabric I'd still love the lounge. It's super comfortable but it doesn't look great, it looked old and worn after a couple weeks
King Furniture sent me a fabric de-pilling tool, and said pilling is normal to be expected, but they don't tell you that before you part with your money.
Elizabeth R.King Living
Hi Rachael,
Thanks for your message. Timber veneer is a product which does require care to ensure it says looking fresh and new. We recommend always using coasters, as any liquids spilt may cause bubbling / peeling if they get under the veneer surface. If placed in direct sun, veneer will fade, and can also be susceptible to peeling at the edges. It is important to be aware that these are natural occurrences, and taking care of your furniture and where it is placed in your home can help to minimise and prevent these from happening.
Similarly, some fabrics are susceptible to pilling, depending on use. We do recommend using a de-piller if this occurs, and this will have your sofa looking fresh again.
If you have any further questions you are welcome to let me know directly by contacting [email protected]
Sallyasked
Hi
I have just purchased a King Living Jasper Lounge & have a number of concerns both with the product & service. Each individual I have dealt with has been fine. Rather these are systemic issues.
The cushions are the feather filled ones. I find they make a crinkly noise when I lean into them. This is rather annoying & I don't remember it happening in the shop. Does the noise go away? Also I find the back cushions are over filled & impact the depth the seat cushions. Will they flatten over time to give us more leg room? Also the product information cards that they hand out at the showrooms are not adequate - they lack measurements of each component. I found some of the information myself later online. But why make it difficult? Originally we were going to purchase the Jasper A1 model & ended up with a package 9 - 13, as we worried about fitting it into our living room. The differences between the two were not adequately explained. It is difficult to gauge some of the differences when you can't try out the various models in the showroom. From the information I received from the salesperson I thought the depth of the seat was pretty much the same on both models but it seems significantly smaller on the Jasper 9 sofa we now own.
Also a seat cushion was missing from my delivery, which I will have you pick up from the showroom. Not particularly impressed by that! The delivery guys were lovely & I don't think it was their fault.
Also I wanted a final receipt sent to me via email, requested on Monday & Tuesday and I am yet to receive one by Saturday. Also I would have liked a complete break down of the number of components I received/ meant to receive (at time of delivery), which I didn't.
When you spend over $5000 you want to be really happy with your purchase. Instead I am full of misgivings.
4 answers
Hi Sally, I think you need to direct your questions to the company- I'm just a fellow customer.
What I can tell you is that after 3-4 years of usage, the back cushions are still quite puffy and floppy and I've noticed the amount of leg room is limited. I don't have a crinkly noise though.
Leg room is a problem.. when I sat down on the lounge I'm buying elsewhere it felt far more comfortable sitting up.
Still, the Delta is fine if you like lying down- just sitting up kind of sucks.
Best of luck David
Thanks David. I will also email King Living. I also hope to warn fellow customers of particular issues.
Although King Living have had trouble answering emails re my receipt & order.
Bronteasked
Thinking about buying the king furniture jasper in palm beach fabric - not sure which type of vision to select, feather or memory foam . Any advice ?
4 answers
Sorry meant ‘cushion ‘ not ‘vision’
Elizabeth R.King Living
Hi Bronte, thank you for your question. The seat cushions are a multi-layer HR foam, with King Flex suspension and King cell springs within the seats. Feather seats have added 100% feather overlay to this for additional softness. Kind Regards Elizabeth.
I bought Jasper in leather with the feather, and it has been most disappointing! Memory foam would have to be superior one would hope, because the "body/guts" so to speak has been hopeless in the feather. Our suite left the seating dented and lacking any substance within 4 mths of purchase, and this on a suite that did not get a lot of wear, as there was only my husband and I and he had a separate King Cloud chair (which did not deteriorate like the Jasper!!!). Sadly the follow up and service of King also left a fair bit to be desired!! Would I buy another King, NO quality not there for the huge price tag!
