We have been dealing with ForestOne for over 20 years. The name may have been updated but they still have the quality customer service. Mat has always been professional and prompt in all my dealings with the company. Always willing to help out and go the extra. Well done!

Lee McKinnon

Our business has been purchasing from ForestOne for quite a number of years now and whether it be for a small amount of product or a large stock order, it always runs smooth and deliveries are on time.

Solutions are always found easily, order changes such as moving a delivery date are never an issue and all of the ForestOne staff are friendly and easy to deal with.

I would highly recommend ForestOne as they have always been able to help with supply during times of national shortages and have been critically important to ensuring that our doors stay open and machines keep running when other suppliers have struggled for extended periods to keep material supplies coming. A big thanks to Iain and the team!

Mark Baker

We have been doing business for high end joinery products with ForestOne for a couple of years now & are being extremely well looked after. They are very easy to deal with & have quality products & outstanding after sales & customer service. I wish every supplier we use had the same commitment to their customers as ForestOne do!

Dave Chapman

Consistently Great Customer Service. ForestOne has one of the best sales teams and account reps around. They have a great supply of products and normally have them in stock and cheaper than their peer group. Any issues have been dealt with promptly and without hassle. We will continue relying upon them to fulfil our manufactured board needs in the future.

We have dealt with ForestOne for a long period of time and have nothing but good things to say regarding these guys. They have helped us (AWP) tremendously over the years and continue to do so. I can highly recommend using these guys as we will continue to do so into the future.

Brad Windebank, AWP

I had the pleasure of visiting ForestOne's new showroom in Victoria Street, Abbotsford. We have been specifying & using a few of their products in various Telstra FRE1.5 Stores over the past few years and it was great to be able to see their latest products displayed in a very high end, well designed and presented showroom, where each product is showcased in a different environment, juxtaposing colours, textures, mood lighting. It certainly makes it easier to envisage a product in its final environment as opposed to looking a small swatch samples. I can see that a lot of design though and input has gone into creating their new showroom & offices. I left feeling inspired to continue using & specifying their innovative products.

Jürgen Schirmacher

ForestOne has an extensive range of innovative and high quality products - perfect for unleashing unlimited creativity! Their knowledgeable customer service is highly responsive, very helpful and passionate about providing decorative solutions. Their Egger Feelwood product is especially impressive with a subtle and realistic pattern matching grain. It has been an absolute pleasure working with the ForestOne team on a multitude of projects and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future!

KHID Interior Design

Big thank you to the ForestOne team! It's been a pleasure working with you over the years and especially in these testing times. Your service and products continue to help us maintain a competitive advantage and reputation for delivering outstanding results for our clients. Thank you also for keeping our team posted on new products, it gives us a real edge as a manufacturer.

Jeremy Hooker, Jeremy Hype Workshop

Innovative product range! Love the awesome egger timber feel wood laminates you would swear was real. End grain edging non pattern repeats for such a real look. Love the meganite range of solid surfaces that provide ceaserstone look without the silicosis issues, and more design flexibility. Our designers love the range and the samples and helpful staff. Game changing products. Awesome new showroom to touch and feel and take clients to, highly recommended.

Gavin Morley, Icon Interiors

Been working with these guys for years, as one of my most commonly used suppliers for white board and laminates. We are assigned our own rep and Matt does extremely well servicing our account. We recommend their product and most importantly service great guys to deal with.

Daniel Lamanna, A Maze N Cabinets Pty Ltd

I have been working closely with ForestOne on a lot of commercial fit outs over the last few years. Their innovative products and helpful and extremely friendly team have been great to deal with it, especially Vicki! Keep up the good work and looking forward to working with you on the next project!
