Koala
Please give us your elevator pitch
Koala is furniture done better. We care about your comfort. We care about the planet. We care about your home being set up and ready to live in with as minimal fuss as possible and with as little a footprint left. We’ve had it with the 12 week wait times for furniture. With the crazy mark-ups in showrooms. With stupidly long assembly times, missing nuts and screws, allen key trauma and no f*cks given to the environment. We wanted to make better furniture, better to use, for a better planet. We donate to the WWF with every mattress, sofa, bed base and sofa bed sold. We deliver all of our stuff to your door in 4 hours, hassle-free. Everything we sell comes with a risk-free 120-night trial.
Tell us three unique things about your business
1. Free 4 hour delivery

3. Sustainably sourced furniture that requires no tools or screws to assemble

Can you tell us a little about your background and where the inspiration came from for your business?
Dany and Mitch wanted to change the way Aussies went about trying, buying and using furniture. Their love for the planet, simplicity and a bit of good old fashioned Aussie fun is the centrepiece of everything they do today.
