Still Going Strong

published

Have owned a molmic couch for ten years, it still looks as good as the day we brought it.
We have been very happy with the purchase.
As for plumping it up, people will complain about anything these days get a life!

Awful and service was ghastly

Very expensive mistake

published

My partner sat on the molmic shona product in the molmic showroom in the Airport West showroom. He reported in it was nice to sit on. Fast forward to the delivery day and the first evening we sat on it we both had to reposition ourselves every half an hour. It is (pardon the expression) bum numbing and so uncomfortable! Fast forward 3+ days and my partner now has constant back pain. At the end our busy days we just want to relax but can’t. This brand was recommended by Macedon Furniture store, who stated the brand features on The Block tv show. Just because something is on atv show that is no reason to recommend it. We are 2 months into it’s use and hate it.

Molmic sofas- you inserts may be the issue

published

For those that are not happy with their Sofa's, may I suggest you change the inserts on the lounge.
The main reason sofa's flatten and are hard to plump up, or need plumping up is due to the feather filling.
Feather filling is luxurious however it does take work to keep it plumped.
There are alternatives - Luxuria foam, with a feather wrap is a great option, or firmer foams and no feather wraps.
In my experience as a designer, Molmic are a excellent company regarding their quality.
The insert options may not have been explained to you when purchasing from where you purchased it.
I hope that helps clarify things, give Molmic a call to see if they can improve things otherwise - by the way I have no affiliation with them.

I wish I had review prior to purchasing my couch!

published

I consider myself to be still in reasonable physical condition.( I am a pensioner.) However it almost requires an Olympic standard gymnastics/wrestling medal to be able to plump the cushions! The worst purchase I ever made. Can't afford a new leather one. Looks so beautiful, couldn't wait to own it. Only wish the staff at the store had informed me of the amount of .work required to maintain the cushions

Date PurchasedAug 2016

Awesome!

published

This sofa we have had for 7.5 years and still going strong. It is soooo comfortable and it has had kids jumping on it as well as the dog and lots of people over time and it is still in great condition. Only negative is the side striped cushion covers fell apart after only 6 months but I noticed they have since changed that part of it!

Date PurchasedJun 2008

Perfect nights sleep!

I stayed on this sofa at a girls house a couple of weeks ago. I really Can't recommend it enough. Spacious, comfortable and very sturdy.....
Got plenty of sleep which was ideal for the long walk home the next day.

Don't buy a Molmic lounge, very expensive mistake

published

This has been a very expensive mistake. We bought a lounge that retails for $8,000 and as soon as you sit on it the filling in the cushions flatten to nothing. We can't even lie on the chaise part of the couch because you roll off where the cushions have depressed, not too mention how disgraceful the lounge looks with flattened cushions. The company and the retailer are not interested in resolving the issue at all and suggest we should fluff the cushions after each use (which is impossible for one person to do physically due to the size on some of the cushions) or pay an additional $1200 to have the cushion inserts re-done. Disgraceful and disappointing service from an Australian manufacturer, my advice don't buy their products.

Very disappointing!

published

I have been so disappointed with the couch as it has great depth to it and looks beautiful, but the cushions really do ruin the pleasure of it - out of shape balls with lumpy, torn velcro, fabric pulls and knotted fringes. We got an upholsterer to put foam into the seat cushions and that is much better - gives the couch more structure so it looks neater and actually feels more comfortable to sit on. We are also looking into changing the cushion fabric. All in all a very expensive purchase for what has turned into a DIY build your own couch job!

Hideous cushions

published

Worst company for follow up service ever encountered, totally belligerent staff, a nightmare and went out of their way to be sarcastic and unhelpful. Not interested in servicing their clients. Awful cushions sag easily can't be plumped up. Absolutely zero help from Molmic, surely, belligerent staff 0/10.

We love it!

published

My husband and I both have large families and when entertaining, there seems to be an enormous amount of room! So comfortable. I take the cushions as they are - we bought the couch to use afterall! I don't use the cushions for looks but to move around and sink in & get comfy! Those of you who are unhappy with your couches, I'd be keen to buy a second! Preferably a 3 seater but a 4 seater also fine. 0407 521 510

Hard work keeping the cushions in shape.

published

I have a love / hate relationship with this lounge suite. I have the 3 & 4 seater plus the ottoman. I have had it for many years now, and it still looks new. Except the cushions are so hard to control. Firstly the feathers kept coming through the covers, which were really sharp and annoying. Got new covers, but then I had cushions inside covers then the outer covers, which just doesn't work. I contacted Molnic and bought new inserts which were OK for about a year, but now they are just curling up inside the covers, so it's back to the original feather ones. Lounge suits just shouldn't be this hard!
Quality workmanship, made in Melbourne, beautiful to look at.
Cushions are terrible. Molnic have not been helpful at all.

Molmic Eastwood & DIY fix...

published

We loved this couch at 1st sight but like everyone else the cushions were a nightmare to keep in shape and comfortable.

After a bit of trial and error we found its not the cushions but the covers that are the problem. I chose a patter and made new covers out of upholstery / curtain material (heavy cotton) and now everything is perfect. Cushions only need a quick hit every couple of weeks and this is a daily use couch. If only molmic would change its cushion cover material.
The look.

Requires work but anything of quality does

Love it!!

published

Have had it for about 4 years, slept on it every night for one year. It's to be lounged on, so not to sit upright on. It is a workout to plump the cushions.
I much prefer Velcro to zips. It's my pride and joy and I adore it. I have the 3 and four seater.
Luxurious. Comfortable. Love the throw cushions.
Hard work to plump the sofa seats, and the covers to tend to curl a little- time will tell how much of a problem this is for me.

Expensive sofa - terrible cushions!

published

These cushions are a nightmare with the veclro cushion covers causing the fabric to rip and shred in no time. The whole sofa looked tatty and awful very quickly.
Need to fluff up cushions every day to keep it looking good and feeling comfortable.
Molmic was not helpful at all when we wished to order new cushions without velcro.
Very disappointing for such an expensive sofa.
When brand new it looked great and we purchased it after 6 years of searching for the perfect sofa.
Terrible cushions! Feathers need fluffing regulalry (a nightmare with velcro cushion covers!) An expensive mistake.

Completely agree. Very expensive. Looks fabulous. But not comfortable or durable. Feather spines stick through fabric, cushions lose shape, fabric tears.

Looks great, very comfortable as I often fall asleep on it.

I have the 'Valvadi' with a spare loose cover.I fluff the cushions every other day to keep it comfortable. Otherwise, the base cushions get very hard. I've shared this lounge for two years with my husband, and it still looks pretty good. I love the removable covers, I change them about yearly for a differnet look and cleaning.
I'm thinking of buying another one (differnet style) to compliment it.

The main ones do squash down a bit a d need to be plumped. The scatter cushions are great to mold. I don't mind that mine do not sit perfectly, as they feel great.

Which sofa are they talking about in the reviews? I am looking at purchasing a Molmic sofa and don't want to purchase and then find out it's not good quality.

Molmic Eastwood I think. Personally I love the whole Molmic range. Sounds like most of the complaints are about having to fluff the cushions - I just don't do it that often. I'd suggest going and sitting on the range - you'll either love it, or not. Hope this helps.
