Caring customer service.

published

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

published

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?

Purchased in August 2021 at King Living VIC, Nunawading for A$7,000.00.



Nice couch but susceptible to wear and tear.

published

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

published

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.

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

published

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.

Paid more for the leather

published

Leather has looked worn, and scratches very easily, was told if I bought the more expensive leather it would last for a lifetime.
Looking to replace soon .Costs over $500 to get it looking okay again

Falling apart after 2 years (after 6 months there was already issues)

published

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.

Purchased in December 2021 for A$11,000.00.

So disappointed

published

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

Not sure how to private message. I had already emailed customer care and that is how I know I will need to a $120 call out fee and who knows how much for repairs that only last another 3 or 4 years

Wish I read all of the online comments prior to purchasing

published

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

published

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. My best advice, don't do it.....not worth the money!!

Waste of money

published

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.

Comfortable cruelty

published

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.

Foam is very cheap

It looked good in the showroom. After two weeks at home we are very disappointed. I unzipped "the removable covers" and to my horror discovered very cheap foam. I want a refund.

Jasper Jasper

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?

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.

King Living
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]

Jasper Jasper

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.

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

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 ?

Sorry meant ‘cushion ‘ not ‘vision’

King Living
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!
