Pottery Barn Furniture

Has anyone ordered furniture from them? I am planning on ordered a buffet but I want to make sure people have been happy with them.
Thanks.

Re: Pottery Barn Furniture

I love their style but was just complaining to DH about our DR table and buffet. It nicks and scratches so easily. You pay a fortune for their stuff and I don't think it's the best quality.

If I do buy anymore Pottery Barn stuff I'll only shop at the outlet now or buy clearance stuff at the store.

their prices are (IMO) reasonable but the shipping costs are very expensive. 10% is applied to items over $200 plus a surcharge for bulk items.

I thought that too... for a piece of furniture that $999 they want $150 for shipping....
I should just look around for something else, but I'm being lazy.

$150 is probably just the surcharge (bulk item). keep in mind that an additional 10% is added plus tax. the total on a $999 furniture item will most likely be close to $1,300. call the 800# and ask what the total cost is including shipping and tax.

Re: Pottery Barn Furniture

I have the Pottery Barn Signature Bar (I think it's discontinued now) and I love it. I get tons of compliments on it.

I don't believe that their drawers are dovetailed. I won't buy stapled drawers but I do love the Pottery Barn. I have a lot of their things but nothing with drawers!

the outlet has tons of furniture, I was there today. They always have stuff that is offered at such a reduced price I think its worth it. Some of their regular priced items are more expensive then true quality furniture makers.
IMO a pottery barn table should not be as much as an Ethan Allen table.

That is the exact buffet I want!!!

I have to get out to Riverhead... hopefully they still have it!

Did you have to bring it home yourselves though?? We don't have a truck....

Yes, you have to go past Tanger 2- someone more familiar with the area may be able to describe it better- but it's not part of the Tanger 1 or 2 sections, so it might be hard to find if you do not know where to look.

Re: Pottery Barn Furniture

We have Pottery Barn dressers. They are a bit more expensive, but we looked at about 6 other stores before going back to PB. IMO, the quality was much better than all of the other stores we looked at and we had a VERY difficult time finding anything both of us liked. DH was not interested in looking at the outlet store, and there was only 1 style that we both agreed on, so it was worth it to us to spend the extra $$.

PB was a pleasure to deal with as far as delivery too. I have heard a lot of horror stories about furniture, but they were great - good customer service and they gave a 3 hour window that they would deliver in, and showed up 1/2 hour into that time frame.

ETA: shipping costs are added on to catalog prices, but the prices in the store (higher) include the shipping charges. I also looked on the website and it says my drawers are dovetailed, nails and glue Chat Icon
