I stay away from anything made in Asia since just on the surface the climate is so much more humid that all kinds of issues are seen with Asian products. IMO you could probably find a good cabinet maker who could do this for the same cost in wood and finish that will not warp and split in a dry climate.

Pottery Barn is owned by Williams-Sonoma so their pricing is likely similar.

Williams Sonoma is actually more expensive than PB, hence my question -- not interested in paying more for the same quality. I do buy PB and westelm for specific things, but I know what I'm getting into.

Patricia -- thanks. After doing our kitchen, a powder room, a laundry room, etc. etc. I really just want to do something off the shelf at this point for the console/cabinet...

I have a few dining chairs / stools. They are good quality as my husband and son are rough on them and they have held up well. I also purchased a table from them but have yet to use it. They are pricier, which is why I have fewer items from them. I really want one of their upholstered beds, but my relatively frugal self cannot muster up the financial courage to get it :)

I have ordered from Williams Sonoma several times. In general, I found its products superior to Pottery Barn and definitely West Elm. With that being said, I wasn’t equally happy with every purchase. I was very happy with the console I ordered. I wasn’t as happy with the rattan bar stools I ordered. If you really love it, I’d say take a chance—that’s what I did with my console and I had no regrets. If course seeing the quality is always the surest bet, but not always possible in this day and age.

That's a beautiful sideboard. Don't buy into the "it comes from China/Indonesia/Vietnam, so it's junk" mentality. Sure a lot of junk comes out of Asia. A lot of junk comes out of the USA too.

Funny to see this thread revived. We actually found the exact console at the WS Outlet near us for a third of the price. It has. A small scratch but otherwise in good condition. Couldn’t be happier...

I'm glad you found the console at such a good price; it's gorgeous. I also don't agree that everything made in Asia is inferior. There is so much furniture "made in the USA" that has imported components.

Molly would you mind sharing more details as to why you think it's low quality and which sofas you purchased? I was looking at their Greenwich sofa that is mortise and tenon, 8 way hand tied, made in the usa -- all generally good signs of well made furniture, but it is expensive as is all of their furniture. That being said, I bought an RH Maxwell sofa that arrived a few days ago and it seems fine, but it was NOT cheap - 4,500 for an 8 ft sofa, in stock fabric, standard fill by mistake so was looking to exchange that, but now that I'm reading more reviews (should have done that beforehand) I may just return it.

Hi, I’m happy to share my thoughts on it. I have the 96” Greenwich sofa in Wool Flannel, Heather color. It looks good and is comfortable. My issue with it is the back is not solid. There is an approximately 2-3” wood frame and inside that it is not solid. I have a temporary console behind it now and have one with shelves ordered so that makes it ok. I have a sofa from Quatrine that has a solid back that I guess I was comparing it to. Seems odd to me to have the back flimsy, only a piece of fabric. If you use something behind it, I think it’s fine. Hope this helps.

Oh that is really helpful!! That's how our old ZGallerie sofa is. We generally have it against a wall, but when it's floating it is odd and does seem flimsy.

I'm still so torn on a sofa. I was tired of the old couch and it's no longer comfortable so I partly went with RH since it was fast delivery (5 days from the order!) and I'm a member. The Maxwell has a solid back, but is not made in the USA (Made in China) which I wasn't expecting--for some reason I thought it was Made in the USA. The slope back chair was Made in Vietnam. This is the first furniture I bought from them. Before it was all bathroom hardware and a vanity. I will say that their bedroom furniture, Maison, (Made in Vietnam) is VERY well made, solid and will probably last a lifetime. We bought at the same time as the sofa to avail of the unlimited shipping, but I digress. I just wish the furniture had a warranty, of any kind! Seems hard to come by now. Lexington Furniture had a sofa very similar to the Maxwell, but it wasn't 8 way hand tied, it was Sinuous spring and the same price point plus huge lead times.

Thanks so much for your time, much appreciated!

Hi, I am considering a class-action lawsuit against Williams Sonoma as I had a horrible experienced recently with furniture I ordered which when delivered wasn't as advertised. If you are interested you can contact me at cldunaway@gmail.com.

Oh and by the way if anyone thinks the furniture is made in the US, it is not! The FTC recently fined WS with a $1 million dollar fine for false advertising in that regard. My "custom" sofas were made in China!

Purchased Carlton Square Arm Occasional Chairs (2) and (1) Yountville 109" Sofa and Berkshire Coffee Table Ottoman all Made in China - which I don't particularly have an issue with - HOWEVER - upone delivery this week Major Quality problems IMHO one of the chairs is unbalanced ( really - the quality controls is that bad a $3K chair shows up and rocks back and forth on a flat surface ) Also the Ottoman is only 14" tall and 70 lbs when the specification on their website clearly states 16.5" height and 131 lbs - serious quality control problems - plus you get to wait over 1 hour to speak with a 2nd level customer service representative. Because the furniture is out of specification - I had to send in pictures and now I have to wait 1 week for some team of specialists to get back to me on these specification issues. Additionally the Berkshire Waterfall Coffee table - specifications on their website says it should weight 70lbs - only weighs 50lbs - Makes me seriously question the quality of the furniture - like the outsourced vendor in China is taking short cuts. I'm going to wait to see wait to see what this quality team has to say - but I think Williams Sonoma Home Furniture is overpriced and a SHAM - I'm about 90% I'm going to return it all on principle. The sofa and the chairs - do look nice - but how can you trust the long term quality of furniture that arrives with these types of issues. I would be interested in getting feedback from others - perhaps I'm over-reacting - but you spend $14k on furniture and wait for 6 months and this is what you get ? Pretty pissed off right now about it

Bought a bedframe that was West Elm but when came in says "Williams Sonoma". I've bought way cheaper bedframes and have not had issues with just poor QC. Brackets misaligned and I have to haul this entire heavy box back. Luxury brand my a**.

Hi! We purchased the leather Mercer chairs and stools for our business about 12 years ago. 300 + sit in them weekly . They are still perfect!

How did u get coupons from Williams and Sonoma? I’d buy my
Dining table if I could save a couple of $$.
