Testimonials
What our clients say
Tailor Inc.
“The service provided by Crestline on this project was nothing short of excellent. When we were faced with unforeseen delays on the building and challenging access requirements, the delivery team were extremely accommodating and flexible to suit. Tracy in particular went above and beyond in helping coordinate multiple deliveries, as well as assisting our client with additional out-of-scope deliveries such as the craning in of their life size cow statue! The process from quoting right through to installation of the furniture was made completely seamless, and the quality of the furniture is very impressive. Both Tailor Inc. and our client Lewis Road Creamery are incredibly grateful to the Crestline team for going above and beyond on this project!”
Nicky Wood, Senior Designer – Tailor Inc.
UBT Hamilton
Co-ordinating this project from Australia was challenging and to have such great communicators that looked for solutions and provide exceptional customer service was amazing!”
Tahua Partners
“Tahua Partners engaged the services of Platform Consulting Group as the preferred partner for the major refit of new office space and design located in Takapuna.
Tahua is progressively growing & operates primarily in the retail and hospitality space. The refit/relocation meant bringing together three businesses under one roof – so it was equally important to have the workspace, design, and placement of furniture spot on from the get-go.
The office has been a welcome Hub for all those who are employed by (and visit) Tahua Partners – a refreshing space to thrive & grow!
As part of the fit-out, a further piece to the puzzle was engaging the services of Crestline, who supplied and installed all new workstations and furniture. Throughout the project we found Crestline to be extremely professional in their dealings, collaborating with us to ensure the move was seamless – addressing any issues promptly as they arose.
Following the office move, and as the team settled into their new space and way of working, often comes some modifications. The team at Crestline has been prompt in responding to and resolving any issues from the team to ensure all are comfortable in their new space.
All credit to the Crestline team in particular Tracy, Darrin, and the team who worked tirelessly onsite to ensure deadlines were met, and also to make things happen so quickly and effortlessly.”

Tomra
“In 2020 TOMRA food began the task of designing a new Field Research Centre in Hamilton. This was a large-scale undertaking for us as we had seen consistent growth in our business and an opportunity to create a purpose-built space for our needs.
Crestline was recommended to us from a number of sources, so we reached out to them and several other companies as we did our due diligence. What we quickly found what that the expertise within Crestline was exactly what we needed.
Crestline worked alongside us as the project took shape and had the tools to help us with board presentation to senior management and adapted quickly to our changing requests.
The installation team did a fantastic job and have continued to help us as we think of new ideas and expand as our team continues to grow.
It has been a pleasure working with the team and TOMRA is impressed with the results they can provide.”
Troy Cleaver – Product Manager, TOMRA Fresh Food
WSP
“WSP tendered to 5 suppliers and right from the tender stage Eda & team were great to deal with. As the successful tenderer, they worked closely with us during the fit-out process and were ready to deliver to the agreed programme.
Our building was not completed on time for the furniture installation date and the Crestline team were flexible and accommodating even though it was a huge inconvenience to them.
Crestline furniture is of high quality and I would not hesitate to recommend them to other potential clients.”
Jo Furze – Manager Corporate Property, WSP New Zealand
WÜRTH
“We were very excited to move into our brand new building and our office furniture was going play a big part in both the final look but also comfort for everyone. We could not be happier with the support we’ve had from Crestline and are very glad we chose to partner with them. They always had loads of options and suggestions and then install was completed in a very timely and professional manner. This has meant a long-term relationship over the past years now fitting out three other locations throughout New Zealand. Even if we just need an additional chair or support with something small, the team always gives us the best service and support. No doubt we will be buying furniture from them for many years to come.”
David Paterson – Managing Director, Wurth
Cathay Pacific
“We were referred to Crestline as a good value and quality supplier, we were not disappointed. Gary and the team at Crestline took the time to understand our timeline, needs, and they exceeded our expectations in regards to delivery and service. They communicated with us at every step of the project and we are more than pleased with the outcome.”
Heather Gallagher – Corporate Account Manager NZ, Cathay Pacific
Bunnings
“Working with GHDWoodhead Creativespaces and Crestline Furniture Systems on the look and feel to our new office was extremely rewarding.
Our input was always welcomed and also the relationship was extremely important.
During a massive fitout – Trust is one of the most important values we need. This was delivered daily and made the whole process more streamlined and organised.
Being involved in the furniture options, was extremely valuable as it helped us format a vision in our heads. The story boards of colour and textures helped also.
When the furniture was all installed it just added a warmth to the space. All of our team love coming into a warm environment now and this is all because of our new look and feel.”
Katrina Nuttell – Bunnings NZ
Masterton District Council
“Masterton District Council’s move into Waiata House – specifically relocating to the land it sits on – is fitting as it was originally the site of Masterton’s first Town Hall in the 1890s.
The project to get the building prepared and ready for moving in was not a fast one, but required time and consideration to ensure it suited the needs of Council staff. Open-plan working was a change for many in the organisation. We needed to ensure the fit out designed by Spaceworks Design Group, and furniture from Crestline Furniture Systems, enabled flexible working while also providing space and privacy. For some staff, simply walking into the building, seeing and experiencing the environment, changed their minds about how the space would work. While there will always be teething issues, initial feedback has been positive and staff are happy about coming to work in a modern environment.”
Henriette Barnard – Projects Coordinator, Masterton District Council
Brett Norris Lawyers
“Several options were given for many of the items to allow for our budget. It was great to be able to look at the furniture in the show room with Amanda before some choices were made. The new furniture looks fantastic and it was great to have it all put together and installed. We are extremely happy with how the space looks and functions. It is much easier to work with uncluttered spaces and it also encourages staff to keep work areas tidy….we would also recommend the furniture which was priced competitively, very good quality, and delivered and installed on time.”
Brett and Michelle Norris – Principal, Brett Norris Lawyers
Rangiora Eyecare
“Great communication, easy to deal with and as always you guys go above and beyond trying to find the right solutions, I know Gary sent me about 20 chair options before we found the right one!”

Les Mills
“…Through this process we partnered with Gary Wade of Crestline to deliver the project vision.

Attwoods
“Crestline really are a great design partner as their offering is incredibly flexible. We worked closely with Crestline to modify furniture and create custom brand pieces that captured the brand story well. The end result is an engaging office and refined showroom environment that communicates the client’s values and culture.”
Alexander Wastney – Design Director, Designwell
University of Waikato – Tauranga Campus
“Building the new University of Waikato campus in the heart of the Tauranga CBD provided opportunities to trial new and innovative teaching styles while creating functional, creative spaces for students, staff and the community to enjoy. As you walk through our stunning building you see varying spaces tailored to multiple users and understand how furniture brings this building to life and encourages people to stay, work and study.
The University wanted to create a “sticky campus” whereby students and staff are encouraged to stay on campus and give the place a sense of vibrancy. By creating collaborative social learning spaces outside classrooms and throughout the campus, it is the furniture choices that make the spaces inviting, each offering an alternative look and feel.
Selecting Crestline to fit out the University campus has been a very successful venture. Crestline’s product range met our standards for robustness and longevity, whilst providing a modern range of furniture that was comfortable and vibrant.
Crestline worked with us to achieve our goal, offering solutions along the way while always providing a consistent professional service from furniture selection through to the phased installation on a busy construction site.
I have no hesitation in recommending Crestline, they are a great team who deliver what they promise.”
Sally Davies – University of Waikato
Hansa
“We recently completed the office fit-out for our new Manufacturing Facilities in Te Kowhai Road East, Hamilton. I was impressed with not only the service we received from Eda and Crestline from start to finish, but also the time taken to truly understand our Company and how to bring the Hansa brand alive through the furniture used. On the day our office fit-out was completed our offices turned from an open plan space, into a home where our team can love coming to every day.
Eda was customer focused and solution-based, and we are grateful for the time he took to meet our requirements. Thanks Crestline, it’s great to have an office space that will help us to Hansform Landscapes for Good!”
Kate Vogel – Finance Director, Hansa
McCaw Lewis Lawyers
“We had the pleasure of working with Crestline over what was a relatively rushed office move. What set Crestline apart was firstly their desire to understand how we work, and then their willingness to get things done and solve whatever challenges we threw at them. Their friendly and accessible team went over and above to ensure they delivered what was promised, despite the challenges of tight time-frames and moving targets.”
Daniel Shore – Director, McCaw Lewis Lawyers
Uber
“Crestline were open to meeting the design brief; sit-to-stand desking with custom finishes, breakout furniture that needed to be agile, offering hardwearing pieces, that all had to be delivered and installed in a very short lead time. A commitment which Crestline stuck to, with open communication throughout the whole process.”
Matisse Whittfield – Senior Interior Designer, Cachet Group
Textile Lofts
“Textile Lofts chose Crestline Furniture Systems to deliver bespoke tables and lockers for our co-working environment because of their ability to deliver bespoke items with such a wide range of options and a focus on detail. We enjoyed working with Gary Wade & Diego Betanzo, who have become more than just suppliers and look forward to using Crestline on future projects.”
Tim Wylie – Textile Lofts Director

We have worked with Crestline on a number of projects over several years and their commitment to deliver a high-quality service and product is impressive. The Crestline team are extremely customer-centric, organised and efficient and it’s these qualities that creates value for us. The team is always very professional and helpful to deal with and we never hesitate when referring them to others.”
Steve Lewis – Genesis Energy
Datacom
“We worked closely with Crestline and Gaze Commercial to find the right furniture to meet the needs of our space and our 1200 employees. Crestline supplied us with soft seating, breakout and meeting room furniture, focus booths, leaners, storage units with planters, quick folding tables with flip lid power boxes throughout the project and a custom boardroom table with power/data modules. After extensive analysis and on-site trials, the Sidiz T50 operator chair was also chosen as one of our ‘chairs of choice’ going forward. Throughout the course of this project, we have purchased over 1000 T50 chairs and we continue to choose this chair because of its unparalleled combination of ergonomic features, comfort and value for money. There were also particular challenges for Crestline with gaining access to our site which meant deliveries needed to be well planned to fit into very specific and tight time slots. The Crestline team were always proactive, professional and responsive with this. With their communication and project management, Crestline are leaders in the commercial furniture market. Their products are great and customer service is exceptional. There is nothing that this team needs to improve on, they just need to keep doing what they are doing!”
Emma Platt – Datacom NZ
Lion Brewery
“Jon and the team at Crestline were a pleasure to deal with. The time frames we were working to were tight and these guys worked hard to ensure our office fit out was done to a high standard, and on time. The needs of my team were considered when working with Jon on the fit out and what the Crestline portfolio had to offer. The end result was that we have the best furniture for our needs. There were a few minor setbacks with installation and I was very happy when these were rectified quickly, causing no disruption in the wider process. The team at Lion Wellington and I are very happy with our new office and look forward to showcasing it to our clients in future.”
Aaron Hodson – Regional Sales Manager Wellington, Lion Brewery
Euro Corporation
“We first saw Crestline Furniture when we visited Wilson Precast, and immediately we were very impressed with the style and quality, so it was an easy decision for us to choose Crestline Furniture to complete our new offices in Otara. The team at Crestline are great to deal with and nothing is too much trouble. They worked closely with our Interior Designer to make sure our colour palette was warm and welcoming, whilst looking professional and polished. We even had some bespoke furniture requirements which Crestline took on without any fuss and now everything is in place, it’s such an amazing workspace and everyone loves it. We have had customers come in for meetings and ask us where we got our furniture from, so of course we have had no hesitation in recommending Crestline for their great service and superior office furniture.”
Lynne Solly – Euro Corporation

Bauer Media Group
“Bauer Media Group moved into new premises at Shed 12, The City Works Depot, 90 Wellesley Street West on the 12th July 2013. Our move date was achieved within the challenging budget and timeframes we set. Bauer carried out a comprehensive and detail review of the market and furniture suppliers in NZ. Crestline was selected to supply our Desks, Task Chairs, Café Seating/Tables and the Breakout Sofas and Leaners. Crestline helped us achieve our key objectives in supplying suitable quality, cost-effective furniture. Delivery was professional, installed on-site on time.”
Wayne Fletcher – Chief Financial Officer, Bauer Media Group (NZ)
“Crestline Furniture Systems were engaged by Bauer Media to supply and install new desks, office chairs and other furniture for the fitout of their new offices at Shed 12, City Works Depot, Auckland. Beca were engaged by Bauer to Project Manage fitout of the new premises, this included the procurement, engagement and coordination of the works that Crestline undertook. The project was of significant size with approximately 350 staff and a gross floor area of 4500m2. The programme for the project was also tight with a fixed end date that had to be achieved. Crestline’s works were a critical component to achieving the successful move of the Bauer team from their previous premises on time. Throughout the contract, the Crestline team were easy to deal with, kept their promises and communicated regularly and clearly. Variations were minimal and were always discussed and confirmed prior to being incorporated in the final design and scope of works. The final installation on site required Crestline to adapt their plans and work in and around a number of other contractors. This was done without complaint and the full installation was completed on time and to a high standard. Our client is extremely happy with the outcome and Crestline were a key contributor to the success of the project. The quality of workmanship has been exceptional with no defects reported to date, some six weeks post completion. I would not hesitate to work with Crestline again in the future and would recommend them to others without hesitation.”
Matt Walls – Project Manager, on behalf of Beca Carter Hollings & Ferner Ltd.
