However, if you're looking for really cheap furniture, it is best avoided in favour of the old favourites, op and pawn shops, Fantastic Furniture and Ikea. It's not just leather couches, though there're certainly enough of them to go around the store. You can also get chairs, tables and the odd entertainment unit. A lot of the furniture has a vaguely art deco, modernist vibe to it, and anyone who loves white furniture is might see something that they like. The prices seem pretty standard for your long term furniture investments. Most of the couches I tried were fairly comfortable, but they all seemed to be on slightly to obtuse an angle for my particular taste, so slouchers will probably enjoy them more than people who like to sit relatively upright. A lot of the stock can also be found and purchased online.

Some of the pieces are extremely tacky and some are extremely classy. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They do make a number of replica products that are remakes of classic furniture designs across the years. This means you can get classical designs for cheaper than otherwise. They do specify that these products are not affiliated with the original designers whatsoever but still make for very interesting pieces and designs. You could easily spend a couple of hours here deciding on what suits and there are pieces to suit a number of different budgets.

One of the best places for replica designer furniture.

It also carries a stunning range of custom lighting options and dramatic wall surface treatments so you can dress your home for success. Located conveniently on Inkerman in St Kilda hints at the unique range of customers it services: clientele who know what they want and have a distinctive style and elegance. It's definitely not enough to just walk past this store if you're in the market for furniture because they carry a wide range of pieces that are available in custom sizes and fabric options to suit your design needs. I also love the quirky accessories such as the bevelled box edge mirror, cute decorative mossy elephants, gorgeous black dyed sheep skins and an assortment of cool, graphic vases.

Now delivered. Great premium product even though I ended up going to Bunnings to get clamps so it didn't fall apart. Ordered ottomans on line and they have long ago been made and delivered to king warehouse. But despite all best efforts they can't deliver them and the customer service line rings out - every time! Had to pay for them to get the couch. This is a reluctant bad review. Because, when you talk to people they are helpful and smart. The product is amazing. But the customer support, contact-ability and logistics are just terrible. Terrible. It's like a company that expanded to fast and has lost the customer in the flurry of sales. Management need a bit of a think! I'm 3k down and really doubt I'll get it back. Not because of anything other than it's near impossible after buying to contact anyone. I have got a call from their 'reputation management team' and then an email, have responded to it but again 3 weeks later no response. I guess that's why they have such a team! Stay away as communication wise, regardless of the product it's just not worth the anxiety

At one stage the sofa was supposedly on a ship docked in Melbourne, then weeks later I was told it hadn't yet left China... 3. Sofa mysteriously appeared within days of me posting a review here, approaching VCAT, and being compensated by King for subsequently removing my review. 4. Leather deteriorated on most of sofa. King informed in Oct 2022. Technician advises me he's 'seen this a lot'. New covers are ordered. 5. It is now May 2023, no sign of any new covers, and the customer 'service' continues to fob me off, even claiming the Australian Consumer Law does not apply to this company. I have offered to pay to upgrade to a higher quality of leather, but have been told this is not possible! 6. Resubmitted my claim to VCAT as I have zero faith this company cares at all about its customers or quality of product.

What a find! I completely dropped my bundle when I stumbled upon Geoffrey Hatty Warehouse along…read morethis derelict section of Johnston Street. Of course I knew about Geoffrey Hatty Applied Arts in Prahran, but as someone who doesn't have a spare $20k to drop on a 1930's French armchair every few weeks, I don't go there often. The warehouse has 'other' 20th century pieces that have been hand picked and shipped from Europe (mostly France and Italy), but that have not been deemed worthy of the flashy Applied Arts showroom. I could not believe how incredible this stuff is - there's a massive pink velvet quilted bedhead, huge industrial brass ceiling lights, ultra-sleek modernist lounge suites and a sideboard that is big enough to hide over ten corpses in. Or, you know, a lot of crockery. The building itself is pretty cool too - it really looks like an old school warehouse, the type you'd want to convert into a home and fill with this furniture if you had a spare couple of mill. The warehouse is open by appointment, or on Saturdays from 10 til 4. Well worth a visit for lovers of antiques.

On Sunday morning, while my hankering is normally for a Bloody Mary and some granola, I instead craved fresh plants. It had been a long time since I visited Northroy Nursery and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. From the exterior it appears to be your basic nursery, primarily selling pots and soil however when you walk in you will find quirky cacti, hanging plants and succulents as far as the eye can see. But what is best about Northroy Nursery is their indoor plant section. I was very surprised to see an abundance of fiddle leaf figs (if you're not in the know, these are a very cool plant right about now), which are often very difficult to find in Melbourne. While these were quite small, they were retailing for an eye-boggling 20 clams! I had never seen them so cheap before! They also stocked a LOT of fruit salad plants, hanging plants and also moss for if/when you attempt a terrarium. If you're in the market for some good indoor plants, definitely stop boy Northroy.
