Does not provide replacement parts and will not provide name of manufacturer.

Ordered a triple sconce, Ashland item# 73-317**** for my bathroom. My electrician broke one of the globes accidentally during installation. Called Pottery Barn customer service for a replacement globe and was told they do not provide replacement parts unless it...

Awful customer service

1.0

I went online to check the status of my dining room table set. Some items were ready to ship, and I saw that two chairs were holding up the shipment. Also, the shipping date was pushed back a couple weeks. I called to ask if they could ship the table with the white glove delivery and then ship chairs separate, as I do not have a table right now. Agent was extremely rude, and actually wanted to argue with me, raised her voice and continuously talked over me. It was very clear she did not care about my order or experience. After this, I'll NEVER recommend this business or shop here again.

WORST experience and waste of time EVER- do not order from Pottery Barn

Seven months ago I ordered a custom sectional from Pottery Barn. It was suppose to take six months but it was late. Fine. I can understand that. What I can not understand is them making it somewhere in the world where labor is cheap, sending it across the world to be...

Qs on an area carpet

I am looking to buy an area carpet. I like many I have seen at PB. I would like it to be toxic free. It is difficult to tell which ones if any are toxic free and also if their carpet pads are toxic free. Many of the area carpets have odor free synthetic latex backing, which I assume makes the area carpet not toxic free. Also be interested to know if their furniture is toxic free. If anyone out there has any advice, it would be more than welcomed.

User's recommendation: My recommendation is to PB, please clearly list on your products if they are toxic free.

Billed CC…No Shipment

Purchased coffee table in Jan 22. Waited 6 months and were told product left warehouse several times. On hold over 1 hour with Customer Service 3x. Billed CC. On their stated delivery date, emailed that they couldnt find it in warehouse. Pottery Barn is the worst! Found same exact coffee table with local retailerdelivered in two weeks. Dont deal with incompetent retailers who blame their poor service on COVID.

User's recommendation: Don’t buy anything from Pottery Barn!

Broken items

3.3

I have received broken orders twice lately . When I called to talk with customer service I was on hold for a really long time. This has happened to other people too. You don't have return service where the item can be packed up and put on the front porch to be picked up. One of my damaged items was a big box and would be very awkward to take to USPS. Customer service said they would give us a return paper to print and put on packages for return. No return label was sent for both of our items. Returning was very difficult and happening frequently.

Extremely dissatisfied with furniture

Pottery Barn believes that furniture purchased should not hold up past a year and describes furniture that needs repair after only one year as "normal wear and tear" and my responsibility to pay for and fix. The attachment piece that holds a chaise to the sofa broke off from the nails and rather than repairing this as it requires the fabric to be lifted, is willing to lose a customer that has been loyal over the years. Very sad. I will never order again from Pottery Barn or any of their affiliates.

User's recommendation: Don't buy from this company. I have bought far less expensive furniture that held up better and the company stood behind their products.

Non-existent Customer Service

It take hours to actually get a customer service representative on the phone who is completely unhelpful. They do not respond to the contact us emails. It is literally impossible to get a resolution. I recently ordered two items, a rug and a rug pad. They were both in...

I paid $300 for shipping and assembly on two items assuming that the shipping and assembly would be for both items in the order. One item was dropped off not assembled late in the night. I was told it was a miscommunication on my part and I still have to pay the $300....

Pottery Barn is run by thieves.

1.0

Placed an order on Black Friday 2021. They took my money. Checked the order status, it stated the order was shipped. Kept checking the website with no change in the status and package never showed. Checked the website on 5/17/2022 and my order disappeared from the site. I called customer service, they said that they will look into it and get a resolution in 30 days or my money back. My order reappeared on the site. As of 6/21/22 no merchandise, no change in the order screen and no refund.

User's recommendation: Stay away.

I have been on hold for 27 minutes now, trying to return two picture frames I purchased on line. I am not sure what the problem is, this is ridiculous . Pottery Barn needs to hire more people.

No product and no refund ..still waiting for my $2000 back

1.3

I ordered a chair that was reported in sti k on January and turns out it was a lie. It was scheduled for mid March but never showed up ..the wrong item was supposedly sent to the distribution center. Now the replacement was backordered so I cancelled. I was promised my refund within 3 to 5 days. Two weeks later it's not processed and they are still investigating. FRAUD IS RIFE WITHIN POTTERY BARN, every time I call I get a new story and more false promises.

User's recommendation: Stay far away. Go somewhere else.
