Pottery Barn Chair Look Alike

17 years ago

I'm interested in the Belmont Chair at the Pottery Barn, but I can't afford the price tag associated with it. The chair is $1200, and I need two and I only have a budget of $800 max!

Any suggestions on where I can find something similar for a fraction of the price?

The chair is located at

Thanks! Janet

I'm not sure what color upholstery you were interested in, but you might check out the "milano" collection on target.com. I grant you the chairs are not identical to the PB chair but there are style similarities and they are much more affordable! You might also check homedecorators.com, pier1.com, and worldmarket.com - I didn't see anything just like your chair but maybe you will see something else you like (and something within your price range).

Hope that helps!!

Maybe a used one? PB does sell some of their fabrics on their website. Mitchell Gold makes some of their furniture. Here is a link that might be useful: CL Connor Chair

Pottery barn slip covered chairs?
Q
Comments (8)
I love the lines of the Carlisle, and I would have bought it but its proportions are unusually large and did not work for the room I was furnishing. Compare the dimensions to other chairs and you may find the same. As for off white washable slipcovers, I love them and have been a devotee for years. When we had our first nursery, we had a slipcovered RH sofa in our son's nursery, and later on an armchair and ottoman in a girls room. Now we have a huge L in our great room that is washable off white duck, and a sleeper sofa in our little stonehouse/playhouse. In our experience, the slipcovers wash very well. You can even shout out stains. It is kind of hard work getting them off and putting them back on, but now that I am used to it I almost think upholstered stuff I can't wash is kind of yucky, if YKWIM. It is better to take the slips out when damp, they go on easier that way. I never had the PB ones, mine were either RH or MGBW. But my bet is they are all made in one big factory somewhere anyway! Goodluck.

Any reviews on Pottery Barn Irving Swivel Leather chair
Q
Comments (17)
@Runnermom - do you still like your Aiden Swivel chairs? My SO has been trying to get me to order the Irving Roll arm leather chair w nailheads for about a year - for the hearth area in my kitchen. I hadn’t ever bought anything from Pottery Barn before - until about a month ago when I ordered one of their toddler Anywhere Chairs that can be embroidered with the child’s name across the back. That purchase was great - but it was about $140 kid’s chair! My SO is purchasing the chairs - he doesn’t like my rattan furniture (with leather cushions) love seat/chair/ottoman that i currently have in that spot. I don’t use that area really - but he likes watching sports there when my daughter and I are watching something else in the family room (I just cannot get into watching golf on TV - and while I like watching ”my” sports teams play football/basketball - I dont like watching random teams). He brought them up again this past weekend because it was finally cold enough to use the fireplace - he wound up bringing my leather wingback chair/ottoman out of my study and putting it in front of the fireplace. I’ve been selecting bacsically everything we’ve bought so far, so I decided to look at the dimensions to make sure that they’d work in the space. While I liked the width/depth - was surprised about the overall height - seemed short (obviously, much shorter than my windgback chair - which I’ve had for almost 20 years - and still looks great and is super comfy). I am pretty sure that he looked at them in the store - but I dont know how long he sat in them. . . Anyway - he likes the ”look” of PB stuff - so, I thought that maybe I could get him to switch to another PB chair - and I like yours. Thanks!

Wow! You are correct sksgrad. The Casa Blanca chairs are very similar. I never thought about upscale outdoor furniture, but it is less costly, and has the same feel.

Your advice is very timely given that patio furniture goes on sale this weekend!

Thanks again.

Great! Outdoor furniture doesn't always look like outdoor furniture anymore and can work indoors. I hope those work out and look just as great in person! Good luck!!

Hey jmccon2 - if you have a BJs wholesale club around you you might check out their furniture. I saw a chair similar to the PB one. It has the off white cushions with a dark wood frame. It didn't have the wicker-like sides though. I think the chair was in the $300s. For some reason, your chair has become my mission... :)

Sksgrad - you crack me up!

I've never heard of BJs so I googled it. Sadly, they don't seem to be anywhere in the West. I live in Phoenix.

I took your advice and searched Home Depot online and LOVED a chair called the Metropolitan. The website says the chair is $112, but whenever I try to check out it is about $200. So I called the customer service line and they told me it was a mistake. They were so rude about it that it totally turned me off to buying Home Depot online. BTW, I made the call on August 31st, and I just checked again today and the website still says the same thing. They also have a $75 per chair shipping fee - ouch!

There was a similar thread on this forum that I just found and they said Thomasville had a similar chair. Though I can't believe it would be in price range. I've asked the person if they ever went to Thomasville and if they bought the chair.

I'm willing to wait for the perfect chair....

Sorry HD online was so hard to work with. Perhaps they have some of that stock in their stores or can order it to the store without the large shipping bill. I think it was the Metropolitan chair that stood out to me too when I looked at their stuff. Sigh...

Good luck!
