Furniture and homewares brand Castlery has launched its Black Friday sale early, offering discounts of up to $550 off sitewide. The sale runs from November 3 to November 9, 2024, allowing shoppers to save on a range of items including sofas, ottomans, dining tables, beds, and accessories.
Among the top deals is the Mori Performance Fabric 3 Seater Sofa, reduced from $2,499 to $1,999. The sofa features feather-filled seats and a low, laid-back profile, suitable for sunrooms, living rooms, or dining spaces. Another highlight is the Belmont Travertine Rectangular Dining Table, priced at $3,999 with up to $550 off, offering a minimalist design for everyday meals.
The sale operates on a spend-and-save model, meaning higher spending results in greater savings. Castlery's early Black Friday event comes as new research from Afterpay shows that 56% of Australians are spreading costs, and 45% are waiting for sales on big-ticket items. Nearly 40% took advantage of Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals last year, with Black Friday emerging as the biggest shopping day of 2024.
Clothing and shoes top wish lists at 52%, followed by toys (34%), books (33%), and interior décor items (32%). Afterpay's Country Manager for ANZ, Katrina Konstas, noted that cost-of-living pressures have made Australians more strategic, shopping earlier and using flexible payment options. This year, Black Friday falls on November 28, but retailers are expected to start discounts from late October.
