Instyle India reviews and complaints
INSTYLE KUNAL is a cheater
INSTYLE is a fraud furniture company.
In any furniture exhibition you will see this as a first counter, they will attract very well with their offers, But be careful while buying.
In Hyderabad – HITEX Furniture fairs, ICE exhibition at Nizam college grounds…, I am not aware about other cities.
We bought a 3+1+1 Sofa set from INSTYLE Furniture, when there was a exhibition in HITEX Grounds, Hyderabad and it is one year. We bought it for 25000/- and they said it is 5 years warranty. We stared facing problems after 5 months with the frame and we called those guys with the phone numbers they have given, but they were not working. So we consulted the HITEX Corporate office those who give the permission. And they gave the phone number. After so many calls to those guys they told that they will come one day. After so many calls they came and fixed the problem and charged for 500/-. They told that it is home service charges, but in starting they told that any problem they will repair. Now again we are facing problem with the Sofa leather (rexin) and it is completely damaged. Its layer wise going off, there is no quality on it. Now again they are saying warranty is on only frame and foam not on leather. And they are saying you will get this quality for 25, 000/-. For changing leather they are charging 10, 000/-, and again there is no warranty on this. I.e. every year we need to invest 10, 000/- on this sofa.
If anybody faced the same problem, please drop a mail to me. Please share your experiences with me, if you faced same problem with any other fraud company that will be greatly appreciated and also will take some action. Otherwise many people will face this problem from them.

They are cheaters!
Instyle people had a stall at the furniture show at Kanteeveer Stadium at Bangalore and it was there we booked the sofa set.
INSTYLE:
Address: 1st Floor Sree Nanjundeshwara Complex Opp Nilgiris above Subiksha Kammanahalli Main Road, Bangalore - 560084) Mobile - [protected], Office 080-[protected].
I was assured that they would be delivering the Sofa set on 20 th April 2006. By 21st April, I had no clue about my sofa set. I received no call about anything from them.
21st April, i called them and asked for reason as to why they didn't inform me about any anticipated delay in delivery. No considerable answer! I call them now and sometimes they don't pick up the phone or sometimes they promise that they would give us a call back.
Today is April 25th and I have not received any updates from them.
Country of complaint: India
Initially I also faced the same issue. However, I got the address of their office from one of the staff members.
Their office address :
Name : i style
G7 Mall
Ground floor (right hand side)
Near Seven Bungalow Depot (Andheri West)
With a regular follow up and personal visits to their office 2-3 times, I could manage to get the wardrobe delivered at my place.
Lot of people in Pune have been cheated and will take suitable action . Please join and support by replying to this post.

Instyle Fraudsters in Interior Expo, Palace grounds, Bangalore
Hi,
Even I'am a victim of these fraudsters. I'am going to meet them today after noon in the expo (3-5 July 2010) and I will carry all the complaint printouts. I plan to demand money back. If not, I'am planning to give a complaint to the Expo organizers. I already filed a complaint in the online consumer court forum. I also informed Just-Dial.
Lets see what happens
Regards,
-Rajesh
Hello,
I also have booked a sofa set by paying 2K. Did anyone get the refund?
Paid them 2K and now, none of the numbers work. Their website doesn't exit at all.
INFACT INSTYLE ARE CHEATERS. The policy set up by the management is a fraud business policy. I had a experience similar to that of others mentioned in this post. I'm from Bangalore and I had ordered a sofa set 3+2 in Kanteerava stadium. The cost of sofa was 35000 and I had paid 50% advance. The product was delivered within 15 days and I paid full amount. Initially the sales persons promised that they would give 5 year warranty and anytime their service men were available.
Within 6 months of purchase, the fabric of sofa (a soft rexin) started to develop holes. I immediately called instyle. One of their service rep came after repeated calling and told that I have to bear the cost of repair as there is no warranty for fabric. But the sales men had promised warranty of 5 years including replacement of fabric.
The company has supplied a poor quality sofa which deteriorates within a few days and there is no replacement of such defects. Jungle wood is used for the frame. The fabric is china material which tears off within a few days. The customer is deceived by false promises, trust is broken and such incidents are happening with multiple customers.
I decided to file a complaint in a CONSUMER FORUM. The consumer forum ordered the company to pay back the cost of sofa and also the cost of the case. If you want more information write to at off_mail@excite.com. Your case can become strong if you give reference to the case that is won. But so far no one from company has responded and paid back the amount. I'm going to take further action. I'm trying to find the factory address so that I can catch these cheaters.
The propreitor Kunal may be in Mumbai. There is another fraudster Dileep in bangalore who goes missing. The showroom in Kammanahalli is filled with old sofa. Their business strategy is to go for exhibition making false promises and make money. After the exhibition they go missing. The showroom is present just to show to the public that they are in the city and they have a shop.
I think as consumers we all have to get together and make these crooks pay up for their mistakes. There could be thousands who have been cheated and they may have not come across these sites. If everyone wants to take collective action, please post on this site so that we can get together and plan some action.
I went to the police and police did call them then they woke up and the best part is they want us to pay the extra charges for the fabric and stitching.and our sofa is only 4 months old and as it is we have shelled out 35000 and want us to pay more.say around 10000 more.These people are trying to con the consumers .The main person of Instyle is Mr.Dilip I think they are used to this and they are taking us for granted.I will sue them for sure.-Pramitha
Hello,
Instyle people were at the Kanteerava stadium exhibition from 12 - 15th Feb & we too have ordered for a sofa & since our apartment is under construction we've asked them to deliver it after 5 months. Now reading all these review I'm concerned. Like all have stated they've taken Rs.5, 000 as advance from us. I was having seconds thoughts after making the payment because after we paid the sales guys of that company were literally grinning & I thought I'd check out online about this company. My God I don't want to be stuck with a bad piece of sofa. We've ordered for a 3+1+1+ diwan & sofa sets total cost of Rs.31, 000.
These people called us up yesterday to confirm if we need the sofa only after 5months. Should I go cancel the order? I don't want to lose the booking amount I paid...
Somebody has a solution?
We are living in Bangalore & that too near Kamanahalli! I thought I could walk into the showroom & demand to be repaid but looks like its not really a good plan.
Is there nothing we can do against this fraudsters? I got cheated too at the recent exhibition... lost Rs.4000 adv.
