This store has a great selection and a friendly, helpful staff. I went in to return an online order, and the process was smooth thanks to their excellent customer service. I do wish they carried Pottery Barn Teen merchandise, as I love the vibrant colors and variety. While the regular Pottery Barn designs are elegant and high-quality, they tend to be a bit too neutral for my taste. read more

Teak shelf 24" (Order No. 353423051286) I am really disappointed with the quality of this product (24" teak shelf). It clearly has saw marks left in the finished product. None of the example photos for this product look this way. I attached photos showing the saw marks. I really thought Pottery Barn was known for better quality. In addition to the poor quality of the product, the customer service options are non existent. That product is not returnable or exchangeable. read more

If I could give this company zero stars, I would. I ordered a book bag for my son, and the embroidery arrived completely crooked. When I reached out to customer service, they suddenly claimed the bag was out of stock and said there was nothing they could do. I explained my concerns and asked for options, and at that point, they told me they would comp any replacement book bag, given the inconvenience. I was told to go ahead, choose a new one, and call back to process the exchange. But when I called back later that day, I was told I could only choose a book bag within $5 of the original price--completely contradicting what was promised. After a frustrating and lengthy conversation, they finally agreed to honor the original commitment. They had me place the new order and pay out of pocket, saying I would receive a $22.03 credit once I called back in 72 hours. But when I followed up after waiting, they changed the story again. Now they claimed that because the new backpack was on backorder for 6-8 weeks, I wouldn't get my refund until the item shipped. Funny how they had no issue charging my card right away, but can't refund a mistake they made. I have screenshots proving they lied and gave me conflicting information multiple times. We'll be canceling the order, and if that doesn't go through, we will dispute the charge with our credit card company. DO NOT order from this company. I've spent hours with customer service being passed around, misled, and ignored. This is the worst customer service experience I've ever had. When a company makes a mistake, they should take accountability and make it right. Pottery Barn clearly does not. read more

Yes, Pottery Barn is over-priced. Buuut, was willing to pay more because they have nice stuff. However, I would suggest you NOT buy from this organization. They are now much like so many other retailers today, disingenuous! In particular, the Annapolis Maryland store, Marianne and the store manager are trained poorly, deceitful, and disingenuous. They will advertise with a bait and switch tactic, and be completely disingenuous at time of purchase. This organization is not worth the commotion and the aggravation! I've purchase much here, but no more... read more

Oh what fun it is to shop at PB for the holidays!!! This PB location has a great selection of holiday decorations that don't clash with existing everyday home furnishings. This location has a really friendly staff whom work together to help their customers. Being mindful that shipping delays have become a universal obstacle I ordered the monogrammed stockings months in advance (September.) Parking can be a nightmare!!! Ignore the parking lot as all of the parking decks are your best option; I highly recommend! read more

Pottery Barn - Broken zipper on backpack - Home Decor Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If I could give porrty barn a zero, I would. Purchased a gift card - christmas gift Delivery Dec 24th I placed the order (would not have placed the order if it were after christmas) My gift card did not arrive. The delivery date has now changed 7 times. It's Jan 4th and I was told by customer service today, that it could take 4 weeks. They use canada post. Even though they were on strike-have since resumed- however, provided a delivery date they knew woyld not be achieved. I'm sickened by this sort of decision making by such a large company, who has zero regard for other people. Why not use a different delivery option during situations like this, and especially during the holidays. I will never order from pottery barn again, not even if their items were free. Buyers beware- 4 WEEK lead times. So disappointed.... read more

As usual the worst delivery and communication of virtually any big box store. Waiting four months now for order. Contacted 3 weeks ago by delivery company that it would be delivered in 5-7 days. Guess what, still waiting. Customer service at PB has done nothing to help. I will not be considering PB for any future orders. read more

Pottery barn has non existent customer service you cannot call them directly but you can complain thou a middle person who types while your on an endless hold. I was on hold for over an hour trying to fix an issue and they not only gave me a headache but could not replace a simple item I was promised almost a year ago for. I have been waiting for it to come back in stock and now that it is I had to call 2x to ask when I will receive it by just to find out I'm not because even thought I sent pics of the damaged item months ago they now want it back? Who would keep a broken item for over 7 months ? My now promised replacement will NOT be granted instead I was offered a 20% discount on a new item that I was supposed to get at no charge. pottery barn is a rip off there customer service sucks with a capitol S and they are liars. I will not purchase from them again read more

Very high priced items. My sister is a big fan but me personally, I'M NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL! Pretty much every item I have attempted to order, delivery dates are 2-7 months away! I'm sorry but their products are NOT that special to be waiting this long to receive overpriced merchandise. NO THANKS! read more

2023-2024 Clown show. October ordered sofa and told delivery in a month. When it was supposed to be delivered I was told order was cancelled. Reordered and told it would be delivered in December. It's now Jan 16. Ordered Armchairs. Supposed to delivered in November. It's now Jan 16. Ordered 2 glass top tables. I received them on time in December but missing glass tops. It's now Jan 16 and still haven't heard anything about them. Ordered rug. Delivery before Jan 12. It's now Jan 16. Ordered swivel armchairs. Delivery before Dec 12... you get the picture. I've spoken to Store employees, store manager, and customer service multiple times. All very nice people, but screw-ups keep occurring. I'd love to simply cancel, but certain people won't let me read more

I decided to splurge and buy new furniture at Pottery Barn thinking they had good quality. wrong. after less than 2 years the upholstered chairs I bought showed signs of wear that revealed how poorly constructed they were. They offered no concessions. Look elsewhere if you seek quality. read more

My wife and I ordered over $4000 worth of furniture from Pottery Barn and also signed up for the white glove delivery service. Our order required a certificate of insurance (COI) to be presented before the delivery to our co-op. This is a pretty standard request and other companies like Article will email you a COI in minutes. Then you don't have to worry about getting sued if something goes wrong (kinda important). Pottery Barn wouldn't provide this. Even though they claim they will provide a COI, after making 10 phone calls to customer service and a lot of runaround, and with them getting the email addresses all wrong, and outright lying to us about re-sending it to the correct addresses, they never provided a COI. We rescheduled our delivery by an extra week to accommodate them and their inability to email the COI to the correct addresses. We always got a different customer service rep and none of them helped. We will never buy anything from Pottery Barn again or Williams and Sonoma, their parent company. Once they have your money clearly their customer service doesn't care. Also, I'm willing to consider taking down this bad review if anybody from Pottery Barn can provide a copy of the COI valid for August 2024. Maybe they don't care or they just can't afford insurance. read more

Super poor customer service today by Brad at U-Village. No customer should be treated with rolling-of-the-eyes, huffing and puffing and a rude tone.

I am a very disappointed customer of PB. They have a terrible customer service . I've ordered a Christmas tree from their site hoping to arrive before Christmas just to realize that my item was cancelled because they tried to call me and verify that was me who purchased it lol like what a ridiculous reason. To cancel the item . I never received any calls or emails like they stated but just went to my email that I ordered to truck where it says " canceled " . Customer service didn't do anything except keep saying I'm sorry which doesn't really help me that my kids will be without tree and sad . I probably will get something cheap just to have something because even if I ordered this tree it will arrive on January 2nd after all holidays are over . So disappointed at this company . read more

I ordered wall art over 2 months ago. said I had to pay the white glove delivery fee because online it states the art was 35 lbs. it also states the neutral colors with a picture of different shades of beige. it arrived today. it is gray and white and weighs only 3 lbs. i called customer service and it is very clear they don't care. she said she will put in a complaint for me and only needed my name and number. she did not even know what order I was referring to as she did not ask for any other details. if you want to pay a lot. wait forever, and hope it is what the online description states go for it. otherwise they don't care and do not back their products. read more

I ordered a swivel rocker recliner on Feb 10. It was supposed to be delivered in May. Then it was pushed back to June and we finally received the chair in July. The delivery was two hours later than the scheduled time and when the chair was unboxed it was stained and dirty. Customer service said I could get $150 or they would send someone out to clean it. It is now August 10th and the chair has not been cleaned. I was under the impression that Pottery Barn furniture was some of the best, but I should have noticed that there were no reviews on the site. Do not buy furniture from Pottery Barn - it's not worth the wait and certainly not worth the cost. Very, very disappointed. read more

WORST customer service EVER. I spent over $5000 on a dining table and chairs. The table is great. The chairs are AWFUL. I was told by the sales sssicuatevthat they were extremely durable. They are not. They keep snagging. I've only had the a month. I keep getting the run around on customer service. I've tried reaching out to the executive team via email. NO RESPONSE. Think twice before buying from them. Go to crate and barrel or Arhaus. I wish I did read more

I do not recommend buying in this store, I made an order for more than three months, until the last day the store confirmed the order and the day the order was received, so I did not receive anything. I got through to the customer service and they said that I still need to wait, maybe a month could take more. there was a special order for two children's beds worth more than $4,000. nightmare shopping experience in this store, don't waste your time on this store. read more

I don't know how Pottery Barn has survived with their quality issues and lack of customer service. We bought expensive curtains from them that were much delayed in delivery times and absolutely poorly constructed. The length of each "108 inch" curtain is dramatically different - from 106" to 111". This makes them unusable without having a new hem sewn in on our end, which we are going to be forced to do. The blackout portion of the curtain is longer than the "visible" portion of the curtain on 4 of the 6 curtains. This was a disastrous purchase and Pottery Barn "support" is completely lacking. They say "pack them up and return them for a pre-paid credit card to be sent by mail." Yes, not by an account credit that we could use to repurchase the curtains immediately - but by mail! We will fix the curtains ourselves by taking them to a seamstress and we will never deal with Pottery Barn again. This review is our only recourse. read more

What experiences fence ever. Pottery barn sent us 21 lights that had no universal plate to hang them and we called Jessica and she said she would get them sent to us in 7 days. Thanksgiving is next week and I have had the lights for three weeks. She won't return our calls. I'm so disgusted with pottery barn. I will never spend a cent there. They are awful. Don't trust them with anything read more

They take your money and not deliver for months. If you try to cancel, they give you only partial refund. They will charge you 300+ USD for cancelling, saying they moved stuff between their warehouses on your behalf, so that cost is on you. There are so many other companies who are professional and courteous, I recommend staying away from this Poortery Barn read more

Completely agree with the other reviews here on horrible customer service! We ordered two large furniture pieces, after a two months wait, we experienced a horrible furniture delivery service - when we called Pottery Barn store manager @u villiage for help, he was apathetic and dismissive. It's unbelievable we have to experience this with a brand name as such. It would be nice that Pottery Barn extends the service quality beyond the design session and order confirmation. read more

This is certainly a case when you do not judge the business by it's cover. You go into a store and the service is commendable. Beyond that, it is all down hill. Talk about behind the scenes irresponsibility. Unfortunately, after 40 years as a loyal customer, I am totally disappointed in the poor POTTERY BARN customer service. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing; not once, not twice but countless times. Everyone functions in a box and do not communicate. I have been dealing with an issue since October 2022. You are given lip service but they don't walk the talk. read more

Beware some items ship in small boxes and you will have to assemble them. If I wanted to "ikea" my furniture together I would have shopped there for a fraction of the price .... I was told one flat shipping fee but items will deliver some by truck some by UPS and so my first question was "will they come in pieces where I'll have to put them together ?"and the sales lady assured me " no they will be assembled when they arrive" . They were not. On the website it states the item description online will say if they need to assembled and this one did not . Deceiving practices here I would say. I am very upset at the principle of being lied to and the customer service I received. I didn't want to save the shipping by ups. I wanted my items delivered and assembled and I was flat lied to. Turns out it is not one flat shipping fee ... only certain items are but again it states on their website items will not have the white glove delivery in the shipping and delivery part ... this did. I got $60 back( or they said they will so we'll see). I wanted the entire shipping fee back out of principle not because of the amount. Obviously it won't make a difference. Good luck! And hope you get what you are signing up for. No customer service these days anymore. read more

**2 Stars for Outdoor Torrey Wicker Sofa **** 4 Stars for Aubrey Entertainment Center. **** Took 4 mos. to get AUBREY BOOKCASE after several scheduled deliveries and NO SHOWS due to "glitches" w/ their computer/warehouse/delivery systems. Then it was defective and took another 4 months of NO SHOWS etc. to get it fixed properly. But we do love the look and quality is decent for the price compared to a custom built cabinet. ** Bought the Pottery Barn TORREY WICKER furniture a few months ago - 2 grand sofas + 2 club chairs. Kept covered on our deck while we finished our house remodel. Uncovered it after 6 months of hardly any use, and one of the Torrey sofas had at least 9 BROKEN PIECES that were not there before. The other 3 pieces are OK, so clearly this 1 sofa was brittle to begin with?! Even though we kept them covered with expensive CUSTOM covers, PB, Williams-Sonoma B2B team said they will NOT honor the warranty because we didn't cover them with PB covers AND we didn't put the furniture indoors during the winter! WTH!! That is ridiculous, I live in California and we don't have "inclement" weather as they said. BOTTOM LINE: our Torrey Wicker Sofa lasted a few months before deteriorating, even though it was covered when not in use. I love the look, but devastated by their lack of customer service on this issue and voiding a warranty on furniture under 6 months old. read more

For the price you pay you would imagine some customer service, instead I was treated like I bought my furniture off the back of a truck. Ordered a bedroom set in January 2022. One piece arrives February 2022 cracked in half still no bed. Bed, arrives May 2022 . Rest of Bedroom set including the exchange arrives in the middle of May 2022 . When that happened, they delivered another broken piece and the driver said" we're going to take it back and fix it. It'll be quicker than sending it out again". Then nobody ever heard about it. Again. Nobody knew about my furniture return or that it got taken back. So basically 5 months later I had returned two pieces. Now the second piece isn't even here which I would have rather have used the broken piece but they insisted on taking it back. So if you want to get ripped off and spend months without furniture and then get crap broken furniture and spend tons of money go ahead. Go shop at Pottery Barn, but don't say I didn't warn you. read more

I had a bed frame delivered two weeks ago. The bed frame accomodates an adjustable base. Upon delivery, I asked the lead person to modify the base so it would fit deeper into the frame. He refused. Stated the base was too heavy and that he would build the frame around the base. After some back and forth, he decided to modify the base but told me he was doing me a favor since his delivery company did not require him to do anything with the base. Then he whined about how heavy the mattress was to move. Three guys on the truck! Delivery charge: $379.00. Pottery Barn's 'white glove' delivery service is a sham. I've never had a problem with R.C. Willey. Charge: $69.00 for the first delivery. After that, delivery is complimentary for the rest of the year. read more

The WORST customer service I have ever received! On 12/14/22 I ordered and paid for 6 barstools, I STILL have not received them (5/11/23)! Absolutely no communication from them except for when I call, and every time I get promises that are not fulfilled, like a call back from a supervisor, a call from the recovery department (The HUB), compensation for the inconvenience of them having $3500.00 of my money since December. All promises are not fulfilled! Then when I try to cancel the order, I'm told I will not be refunded for Shipping & Handling!!!! I WILL NEVER SHOP AT POTTERY BARN AGAIN! read more

The Malibu FSC® Teak 75" Extending Dining Table Item #: 8770107 was easy to purchase and the delivery was very professional. The table was beautiful for two weeks while we waited to seal it per the directions. We used a good sealer followed those directions. Three days later, dark spots and a discolored grain began to appear. We have tried all the professional recommendations to clean it and not a single spot has disappeared. They seem to be coming from within the wood and will likely increase and look worse over time. I do not recommend risking a couple thousand dollars on their furniture. Returning it and losing around $500 for shipping is not a reasonable option. There is no way to leave a review, and I doubt seriously they have an employee who is a teak expert! I can't even find this situation on Google and it is NOT mold or mildew. If I can post the image, the lighter wood is due to the cleaning removing the sealer. The bare wood no longer looks like it did a week ago! read more

#1 They do not price match - despite what you may read on their website. Then when you return and repurchase for the new sale price within 72 hours, they will not refund the shipping for the first item, you will not be notified of this - so double and check and call to get that portion refunded. #2 White glove delivery service for furniture is non-negotiable. You will pay several hundred dollars to have a service you may not need. #3 Delivery system is beyond horrendous. Worst experience I have EVER had. Did not show on the first day, despite me calling 2-3 times in advance to ensure there was no confusion between the cancelled and current order. Then the truck broke down on the second attempt and when it was finally delivered, 6 weeks later, it was delivered outside of the hours I was told it would arrive. #4 After an hour, yes 1 hour and 7 minutes to be exact, I was able to get a portion of my shipping refunded or store credit for the entire shipping amount. I was previously one who recommended and shopped at this store for gifts, furniture and decor. Never again. read more

Pottery Barn has TERRIBLE customer service, which only added insult to injury when I received a desk I ordered from them (well after the website said it would arrive), and it arrived incredibly damaged. After eventually getting them to process my return, and getting hung up on multiple times while explaining the issue, nobody has given me clear instructions on when this giant box will be removed from my tiny apartment. Even after multiple unanswered emails, and several rude phone calls. Here is the only email I received about the issue, and t makes no sense and is missing key information: "Your return is currently being processed. Thank you for scheduling the pickup of your item(s) between the hours of and" It's like they're trying to be incompetent! My emails and phone calls asking them to provide the missing date and time have been ignored and negated. Their lack of transparency and awful and rude customer service has made this return unnecessarily infuriating. I admittedly Karen-ed out and asked to complain to a manager (I know, I'm the worst) about how their piss poor communication has made an aggravating situation way worse, and Erica (the meanest CSR in North America) stobewalled me like I was asking for the nuclear codes. Returning this overpriced desk has felt like giving birth to a pitbull and trying to shove it back in. If I ever order from Pottery Barn again, it will be the firsf signs of dementia. read more

Their attitude is absolutely wrong and ridiculous. They just lost our company's business. We waited 2 months for the Amara chiseled Marble table lamp, the large model. Once the lamp shade is mounted there is no room between the marble block and the lamp shade to squeeze in your hand to turn the switch on and off. Your hand ends up rubbing against the marble and knocks the lamp shade. This is a design error. Now if the lamp shade had been wider than the block the switch you could have reached the switch that is located in the inside of the lamp shade by the bulb. THEY ANSWERED WE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR THE HAND BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURE BEFORE PURCHASING THE LAMP IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO UNPROFESSIONAL! read more

Product Availability Misrepresentation Items Ordered Are Backordered Consistently I'm actually writing this review for Pottery Barn Inc. and University Village is the only local venue to document this. I've ordered two vanity bathroom items in the past nine months. Initially I ordered bathroom lights in September 2020 and although I was told at checkout they would be received within a week, it was backordered and I did not receive the lights for three months. Two weeks ago, I ordered a bathroom mirror and was told it would arrive in a week. However, again it was backordered and it will be nearly a month after I ordered it for receipt. Why are customers being told the item is available and after the date it's expected has passed, am told it is being backordered? read more

CUSTOMER BEWARE This review is for Pottery Barn company, not this location in particular. Do not shop for furniture here unless you are OK with waiting for the items forever (the estimated delivery dates they give on their website is BS) and you are willing to spend significant time on the phone with their customer service. We ordered a desk for our kid in November. It was meant to be a Christmas gift and was promised to arrive before Christmas. Still waiting, it's almost February. The order got messed up twice. Christmas came and went with no news. Then we find out they sent one of the pieces wrong to warehouse and the whole thing needs to wait until its reordered. The piece finally arrives and we get a delivery schedule. Lo and behold, only one piece is delivered, the rest of the desk is MIA. What is my kid supposed to do with a piece of wood? She was looking forward to her desk and is upset again. Back to the phone with customer service. I fully expect a third mess up but we will see. See, we bought other pieces of furniture from PB over time, and unfortunately I don't remember any time there WASN'T a mess up or delay. You would think we would learn. This time truly learned the lesson and we will NOT be a customer going forward. It's telling that in their website there is absolutely no way to leave an online review. YELP was the only place I could find to write this out. read more

Considering Pottery Barn prices, you would expect half way decent or better customer service. Nope! They are over priced products with snobby, rude employees in their stores and online purchase and returns are a nightmare, even when they sent a defective product it was a nightmare to try and return something defective for a refund. Even when they admitted it was defective, they still wouldn't cooperate to do a refund. It was a complete waste of time. I have spent a lot of money here and will no longer shop here. read more

Purchased the Pearce Square Arm Leather Recliner over two years ago. This was supposed to be a high quality firm recliner. It is not. I'm going to put it out on the sidewalk for free this Spring. The foam seat developed a depression after a year making sitting comfortably impossible. The leather arm rest also developed white spots where the dye had not adhered to the leather. Costly mistake on my part. I do not recommend furniture from this organization based on my experiences. read more
