took my money, but took ages to show up
once the unit finally arrived, there's been some fiddling around to get the individual tensioning aligned, compared to a previous unit i had, made overseas. I'm a big supporter of Aussie made goods, but the purchasing experience with Lifestyle clotheslines has left me disappointed. normally i would not leave a less than favorable review if i didnt have something nice to say, but they have been spamming me for feedback, so perhaps work on your customer service skills (i got a call saying my order raised 'red flags ' don't even know what that means - the guy i spoke to swore at me when i asked why on the phone - they were happy enough to take money, and my order was not shipped for weeks, and ultimately delivered to the wrong address. the fittings are not as robust as competitor brand, and i guess i'll see how long this unit lasts. maybe dial down the promises if you can't deliver, and if you seek feedback, be prepared to hear what you've asked for.
Quick and great service
Excellent service. Quick and friendly

I’ve just installed a post for one end of the clothesline, but during the measuring up process, we noticed that the barrel has all the wires pretty much punched up everywhere in there. I really don’t know how I am going to get them to be equal length’s apart in the barrel . other styles I have seen have some kind of guide, but this one appears to have nothing but a barrel and cables wrapped around it so far I’m pretty disappointed and I haven’t even installed it yet.

Best clothesline ever
Wonderful service, replied to a query on Sunday afternoon. We replaced an old pull outline and now our washing can always be where the sun is. In melbourne and with a newly built block of flats behind us this has been a sanity saver. Thank you
Lifestyle Clotheslines
That's fantastic to hear, Sally! It's great that our service could come through for you. I totally get how having that new pull-out line must be a game changer, especially with Melbourne's weather and those new flats nearby. Your happiness means a lot to us, and we're really grateful for your kind words.😊 Cheers, Millicent
