Modular Office Desks (Pottery Barn?)
Comments (1)I am also looking for something similar for my home office, and a friend recommended Ballard Designs. I haven't decided exactly what to get yet, but I'm leaning toward that instead of pottery barn's Bedford line for a couple of reasons. One, they have a much larger selection of pieces (and you can pick exactly which types of drawers you want for a desk set up, whereas pottery barn doesn't let you do that). Another reason is that theirs is solid wood and pottery barn is not. I don't remember for sure, but I think the prices are pretty similar, or maybe a bit cheaper at Ballard Designs. Check out their web site, they have a downloadable brochure with all the dimensions and it makes it a little easier to visualize. They have a 15% off online coupon from time to time and if you sign up for their emails, they let you know when....See MorePottery Barn furniture
Comments (9)Dissenter here - I've purchased three pieces of living room furniture from PB, and been delighted with the quality and stability of all three. I've also furnished a living room in rental property with pieces from JCP and was disappointed with the quality. The pieces I bought from PB were a round coffee table, side table and couch console. They are several years old and have held up exceedingly well to vigorous family room activity. They are all solid wood and relatively heavy to move. I recently decided to alter the finish of the console, from a stained finish to black paint, and had to completely disassemble this piece to properly remove all the stain prior to priming and paint. I was impressed that all the structural pieces, (those that can't be seen when the table is assembled), were all solid wood, also. The pieces I bought from JCP were a dining table, windsor chairs, coffee table, end table, console, two windsor style bar stools and a dresser. The finish on all was not as attractive as pictured, and many parts of the dresser were not solid wood, but particle board. The JCP furniture was close in cost to what I paid for the PB pieces, so this was a disappointment....See MoreDoes upholstered furniture from Ikea, Pottery Barn, etc hold up?
Comments (18)Comparing IKEA to Lee is not a fair comparison. Lee sofas are my favorite brand stylisitically, but they are very pricey -- around here they are more expensive than PB. IKEA sofas are dirt cheap. I've owned several and some hold up better than others. Right now, we have the Karlstad line of sofas in our basement - a corner sectional and a loveseat. Both are going on 2 years old and still look brand new in spite of being in my kids playroom where they serve as trampolines and forts just as often as are sofas. But I owned a different IKEA sofa (the Ekeskog) where the cushions slid off the thing every time someone sat on it. They are also suprisingly comfy -- some IKEA sofas are not, so I would recommend sit-testing something in person before buying. If you want to go IKEA, I'd stay with a darker color (to avoid staining). I wouldn't count on washing the slips regularly because they can be a pain to get on and off and they can shrink. The upside is that IKEA tends to keep the same styles forever, so if your cover gets dirty (or you're just in the mood for a change), you can buy a new one for not a whole lot of money. If you've got the money for Lee, it's definitely a better sofa, but for a the size sectional I have in the basement, you are looking at $800ish for IKEA vs. at least $4K for Lee. Even if the IKEA one dies and I have to replace it, I can do so 4 times before approaching the cost of the Lee....See MoreAnyone ever un- and re-assemble Pottery Barn furniture?
Comments (6)In general, beds are made to be taken apart and put back together. People move, and most beds won't fit through a doorway fully assembled. I can't speak for PB beds in particular, but most beds should handle being taken apart and put back together just fine. You might want to check with PB to see if they have assembly instructions available, if you think putting the bed back together might be tricky. Or ask the seller if you can be there when it is being taken apart, so that you will know how to put it back together again....See Moremellyc123
