HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
by acl116, October 17, 2007
Worst Customer Service EVER!! We registered online for our wedding, along with several other big name places, and this is the only place that gave me constant headaches. They had a lot of glitches with displaying our registry. If our guests didn't put in     Read full review...

Pottery Barn - Not recommended!
by thumbdown, July 20, 2007
I ordered a Greenwich chaise two months ago and no one contacted me for a delivery date. The only delivery status I received when I looked it up on their website was in one vague word. "Shipped!" Today, I called customer services four times and received four different beat- around-the-bush answers! No one seemed to locate where it was and no one could give me a straight answer of a delivery time frame! When I couldn't put up with customer services putting me on hold, raising their voice at me, and sending me around in circle, I called again to cancel it. Cancellation with Pottery Barn is impossible unless you're willing to loose your money on shipping costs/restocking fee. In my case, I lost $204.90 plus valuable time that I could have spent on something else! My whole shopping experience with Pottery Barn was horrible! My advice is never order any furniture from them.

Bedford Office Furniture is Junk
by mrshred, June 11, 2007
Ordered the Bedford Modular Desk system for our home office - 4 filing cabinets, 2 desktops, and 1 swivel chair. The filing cabinets are poorly made and designed. The file drawers do not open fully, so that you can insert and remove hanging files easily. You have to twist them in on an angle, and as such you can only load them to about 80 percent capacity. You have to leave "wiggle room" to get the files in and out. What a major pain. Every time I have to file something I curse Pottery Barn. The extension glides on the drawers are cheap and non-removable, so if something slips behind a drawer, it's a major fishing expedition to get it out. The finish on the swivel chair is cracking after less than one year's use. Also squeaking like mad too.

They cannot ship tables that arrive unscratched!
by cathyema, April 17, 2007
I have tried desperately to receive a table from Pottery Barn without scratches or marks on it. I am about to receive their fourth attempt. The table is oversized 60" X 60" and delivered by their so-called elite delivery service - in the suburban Boston area. I am not sure if it is the shipping company or the packers, but at these prices,(the table plus shipping costs) this shouldn't be a problem. They don't come out to take care of issues, just reship the products instead. I have spoken to two others who have had the same experience. What is their problem!!!!

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MISLEADING WEBSITE
by sallyna, January 16, 2007
We recently purchased an Classic Console Double sink from PB. We sought a refund though b/c it was too big for the bathroom. PB refused to refund us for the shipping costs (approx. $220) even though the item never shipped to our home! Their website makes ABSOLUTELY NO mention of not refunding shipping and in fact, states the opposite, ""We make it easy for you to return a product¡¦We won't charge you a restocking fee or any sort of penalty. We want you to be completely satisfied." This is totally misleading! I will never order anything from PB online again and recommend that everyone steer clear of the store. Most of their furniture products are not even made of solid hardwood and are NOT worth the price!

Service good, furniture disappointing
by shannsmom, June 27, 2006
I ordered the PB basic couch and two chairs for my living room - the one that comes with slip covers. The items looked great when I saw models of them in the store. However, when they were delivered, the slip covers did not fit well at all. Customer service was very helpful and sent a new chair slip cover to see if it was a better fit, but it wasn't. Now I'm stuck with slip covers that always look wrinkled and don't fit properly. They assure me that the store models are not altered to fit, but I'm not sure I believe that. I wouldn't buy furniture from them again. Experience with the delivery company was not great either.

Pottery Barn furniture delivery sucks.
by jenlaushe, December 27, 2005
I will NEVER shop at Pottery Barn again. I have ordered Pottery Barn furniture both on-line and from the stores. Last year I ordered a set of media cabinets and finally received it after 6 months! They tried delivering once and the vendor found at the last minute that the furniture was damaged in the warehouse. We ordered two couches this Sept. and one got lost (how does a business lose a couch?) in shipping and we still haven't received it and they can't give us a date on when we will receive it. There's something wrong with a company when they can't track their orders, when they can't meet their dates or at times have no clue when their vendor will have furniture ready, and for this to happen to a repeat customer twice is ridiculous. My advice is to never order any large furniture from them- if you're into that kind of furniture, go to Crate&Barrel.

Love the Products but Disappointing Experience
by smurfnjess, December 9, 2005
I love the furniture at Pottery Barn, so when I bought my new home, I purchased several items that included the map console, media center, and entrance way locker. I spent a great deal of money on these items and the shipping cost was about $200. Not     Read full review...

I do most of my shopping online, and I am a frequent visitor to Pottery Barn's website. It is clean, laid out well, and easy to navigate. One problem with the general look of the site is that the thumbnails are too small, but they have great pictures     Read full review...

Excellent service and quality.
by omsoft, November 20, 2003
I have in the last two years bought items from Pottery Barn Online Store. This included a dining table set, rug and media stand. The products have been of very good quality. I have asked them lots and lots of questions through their web site and always received replies back with good information in one or two days. Once when their delivery contractor could not deliver my dining table, they went out of their way to deliver it over the weekend. I was quite impressed by that. <br> Generally, extremely satisfied with customer service, online experience and product quality.

POTTERY BARN- THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED
