Leather Gallery
Based on recent customer reviews, Leather Gallery is facing significant customer dissatisfaction, particularly around product quality and after-sales service. Customers consistently mention issues with defective couches, recliners, and beds, including loose stitching, sinking cushions, faulty mechanisms, and dye problems. A recurring theme is frustration with unresponsive complaint handling, prolonged delays in resolution, and a perceived unwillingness to honour guarantees or process refunds. While isolated positive feedback highlights friendly in-store assistance from individual staff members, the overwhelming sentiment reflects disappointment given the premium prices paid.

We ordered a lounge suite from Leather Gallery, Shelley Beach. Kzn , signed the quotation and paid a deposit after selecting a color from the options they provided. Shortly afterwards, we were informed that our chosen color was not available and had to select another one. A few days later, we received another call advising that their fabricator had run out of material again, requiring us to choose yet another color after we had gone through 3 colors. To make matters worse, Leather Gallery then wanted to charge us more than the signed quotation price for the same material, simply because it was a different color. This is despite us already having a signed quotation in place. If a customer decides to cancel due to these ongoing issues, they insist on keeping 10% of the deposit. This creates the impression that customers are being trapped into either paying more than agreed or losing part of their money. We were told that someone would get back to us to resolve the matter, but we have heard nothing. We have sent emails and attempted to follow up, yet no response has been received. This whole experience has been extremely frustrating and raises serious concerns about how this business operates. We expected professional service and honest communication, but instead, we have experienced delays, changing information, additional charges, and poor customer service. I would advise potential customers to proceed with caution.

I bought a full leather recliner from Leather Gallery in October 2025. By April 2026 the dye in the headrest had come out. Leather Gallery has refused to replace the chair even though it is still under guarantee.

Poor quality product at high prices, still awaiting for uplifting of defective couches since July. Once the sales person seals the deal its game over. Poor customer service and definitely not value for money. Gabby and yhe team really need to do better for their clients. We are more than securing sales
