There are vanities very similar to the Pottery Barn Newport available on Amazon with great customer reviews. Take a look at a collection of vanities with Pottery Barn style, including "The Beverly" which looks like an exact replica of the PB Newport here: http://www.squidoo.com/pottery-barn-style-bathroom-vanity Here is a link that might be useful: Pottery Barn Style Vanities

If you see a backing on the rug (as opposed to seeing the weave and pattern on the underside) then it has adhesive. The back of the rug is coated with adhesive and the backing is glued to it. That is what you smell. The latex adhesive deteriorates over time (avoid sunlight, this makes it worse). I read one comment about using an iron for creases - if the rug has an adhesive this will melt the adhesive and cause staining and smells. The first 3 days are worst for new rigs with an adhesive, but VOCs can off-gas for years. Recently, PB has started using a manufacturer that uses "synthetic latex" adhesive to combat this deterioration, and latex allergies. They claim it doesn't break down but I don't have long-term experience to know how it performs. It theoretically should have low VOCs and minimize smell issues. I'm curious if anyone has experience with their rigs made of recycled water bottles. They are more affordable and are surprisingly soft.

This furniture is wood chips compressed with glue, with a slap of cheap stain on top. It's awful given how much the pieces cost and how long you have to wait to have them delivered. The upholstered pieces don't hold up to real life either. I've also experienced dye fading in expensive PB towels and bathmats with the very first wash, while using a mild detergent like Cheer to protect the colors. The spots never stop appearing. Pottery Barn would not even consider taking them back. So I buy all household textiles elsewhere. Walmart has better quality towels. We shall see how these retailers fair in the next year or so, as the economy is changing rapidly, and how responsive they are to customers when there are fewer of them.

If you can afford to spend a bit more Stickley makes top notch stuff and if it matters to you it's all made in upstate NY. The people out at Stickley and Audi in Framingham are vey helpful (maybe a bit too pushy to start with) and it's just nice to walk around. Stickley has lots of options and styles and you'll get a well made sofa.....their leather is fantastic. I've bought some Stickley furniture over the years and I enjoy it's beauty every day.
