Defective chairs, refund committed in writing then silence
I purchased a dining table and 8 chairs from Ellison Studios — table and chairs purchased as a set on a single order. The chairs were defective.
After months of failed replacements I requested a full refund for the complete purchase. This matters under Australian Consumer Law: when goods are purchased as a set and the business repeatedly fails to supply them in acceptable condition, the consumer is entitled to a full refund of the whole purchase — not a selective, partial one.
On 8 May 2026, Ellison Studios refunded both chair orders but not the table from the original order ($2,699). I followed up on 19 May 2026 requesting the table refund and collection.
On 22 May 2026, Ellison Studios confirmed in writing that a full refund of $2,699 would be processed upon collection of the table, and that their delivery team would arrange collection shortly.
No one came. No refund was processed. On 26 May 2026 I followed up again. No response. Weeks have now passed since their written commitment, with no one responding to follow up communications.
There is no phone number to call. A formal complaint has been lodged with NSW Fair Trading.
The problem is not just the product. It is a business that made a written promise to resolve this, failed to keep it, and then went silent.
Avoid.
