ReviewTerminal Summary

Pottery Barn customers report a severely dysfunctional experience marked by delivery failures, unresponsive customer service, and poor product quality, reflected in the 1.2/5 average rating.

Common concerns

  • Chronic delivery delays, missed windows, and lack of communication—orders delayed weeks or months beyond promises with no proactive updates

  • Premature furniture deterioration—sofas sagging within months, seams splitting, cracking tables, drawers malfunctioning, and quality not matching price point
  • Inflexible policies and refusal to help—no price adjustments on sale items, final sale items with unclear disclosure, no free return shipping, forced white glove delivery charges
  • Order fulfillment errors—wrong items shipped, duplicate orders, customized items that cannot be returned

Never again will purchase from Pottery Barn!

In 2024 I purchased a Carmel Grand Sofa, it took nearly 2months to receive. But in about 9months the middle part started to sink in and then make squeaking noises! We are 2 people average weight. No kids, pets and mostly just 1 person sitting on it during the day. Such a huge disappointment. Now I will have to find some board to put across the sofa to help with the slouching part. Then, I just purchased new bed sheets as I was having trouble finding navy blue. After 2 washes I see few round stains & whitish powder marks?? No idea what the heck is wrong but this is my last purchase with Pottery Barn! Never again will buy a thing from them. They don't live up to the PB name at all. My mother has a sofa by a rival (LSpc) and her's was half the prices as mine & a full sectional but is so comfy and nice! What a shame on PB and they're lack of quality.

Disappointed in craftsman ship

I currently have two large purchases with unresolved issues, and no one follows up or returns calls. For a company at this price point, that’s unacceptable. I just moved into a new home and had planned to furnish more through Pottery Barn, but after this experience, I won’t be purchasing again.

I am giving them 2 stars because I have…

I am giving them 2 stars because I have had generally good luck with the quality of their furniture but thats about it. IT takes months longer to get it than estimated and of course they take your money in full right away. We bought chairs that were in stock to ship in 1-3 weeks they shipped in ten. And then arrived 2 hours after their arrival window on delivery day.
