Love Pottery Barn, but don't love the prices!!

Looking for a store or website for furniture that looks like this but doesn't cost as much!!
Thanks

If you live near an IKEA, you can't beat the prices. They have some really cool things, furniture and otherwise.

Try the pottery barn outlets (closest one to me is Memphis, which is about 5 hours, but it is still worth the trip every few months.. ) or ebay. Also, target comes out with pottery barn knock-offs fairly often. Pottery barn also has a slightly cheaper line called hold everything (but not enough cheaper to make me like the designs. Its sort of like crate n barrell's cb2 line).

I am heading out to the Lancaster Pottery Barn Outlet this morning. About a 3 hour drive for me. I will post later how it is.

But their furniture is nothing like Pottery Barn in style. We also have found most IKEA furniture is not good quality. The only things we buy there are "disposables", furniture that we don't plan on keeping more than a few years--such as the Parsons table in DS's room.

I live maybe 2 miles from a Pottery Barn Outlet and they tend to get their new stock in on Thursday nights, so Friday am is the best time to be there. You could call one before traveling and see if that is true at the one closest to you too. Their outlet operates in large part like a true traditional outlet - a lot of the furniture is a bit beat up and some of it is trashed. While I like the look of Pottery Barn, I haven't been impressed with the quality of any of their stuff and I ordered a great deal when we moved into this house. I returned probably half of it including all of the rugs I bought. Now I wait for Target knock off their decor and we found a guy to build us amazing quality custom furniture. I'm just waiting for the kids to grow up more to get a new coffee and end tables.

There is a website homedecorators.com that has some interesting furniture at good prices- they have a great catalog too. They don't have a consistent style like Pottery Barn but they have an ecclectic product line- some items are Pottery Barnish.

you might want to try http://www.furniturefind.com great looking furniture and not too bad prices. It's where I'm ordering my new couch this summer as soon as we are done remodeling the front hall. My kids have trashed my old one. There is so many baby body fluids on there it is disgusting. The quality of the couch is not great, we had to replace it in the first year we had it. thank goodness it was under warranty.

here is my new couch........

you could also try www.directfurniture.com they have some interesting stuff, we just bought a game table & secretary desk from them...

Look at www.overstock.com Honestly, I think some of the pieces are actually Pottery Barn. They have a huge amount of stuff and the shipping is their regular rate....$2.95 per order! If you order a set of chairs...it comes to your house for under 3 dollars shipping!

But catalogues that offer similar styles www.grandinroad.com and another one...can't remember exactly but I think it Elm Street . Definately Elm something....welll probably Elm something!

Oh my gosh!!! I just returned from the Pottery Barn in Lancaster. For $1050 I bought

Thomas Bed Full Size - Headboard and Footboard
2 Thomas Smaller Dressers
Madeline Full Size Bed - Headboard & Footboard
Madeline Nighttable

I have to run out now but I thought this store was great!!! They started an extra 20% off rugs and furniture today.

Lancaster, PA?

Not sure if it's your style, but I love Bombay Company.

I too love their overstuffed furnature but can't stomach the prices. I found a very comfortable overstuffed chair similar to PB at the Bon-Macy's furnature store. I found it on clearance though. They had other furnature that wasn't too bad, but I think the price was still up there. I wish that I had a PB outlet near me in Washington.

 

[DisneyMomOK]

Is the Memphis store also a PB Furniture Outlet? I saw the others (Lancaster and Memphis) mentioned when I Googled, but the Memphis site did not come up as a Furniture Outlet. Memphis is half the distance from me as San Marcos, but I would love to get a PB sectional at less than the catalog price.

Thanks.

WOW I need to check out the Lancaster store it looks like! I am going to google to find it. I have been to the outlet in LI and got some great deals on shelves- and if I had the room I would have taken a great sofa- but they were not delivering at the time. Does Lancaster deliver?

West Elm

Pottery Barn, Hold Everything, West Elm and Williams Sonoma are all the same company...if you have a Williams Sonoma Marketplace outlet near you, it will carry items from all the stores I just listed...it's a great outlet!

If anyone is interested in the "Pottery Barn Basic" slipcovered collection I have a tip. My daughter got married a couple of years ago and really wanted the PB basic slipcovered sofa and loveseat.

I did some digging and found out that Rowe made the EXACT same pieces only they were a couple of inches larger. The fabrics were also exactly the same, she wanted the twill in "butter."

I ordered both pieces direct from a furniture store in South Carolina. Here's the best part. The sofa was only$682.00 - both pieces came to LESS THAN HALF the Pottery Barn price! I did have to pat 128.00 shipping but I still saved nearly $1,000. on the two pieces

The year after I bought PB came out with their "PB basic grand" sofa which is the exact same size as the Rowe. I may be wrong but I think that possibly Pottery Barn contracts different companies to manufacture for them under the PB name.

My daughter's friend ordered hers first from PB and believe me that are identical.

We have a joke in our house that IKEA is Swedish for Kmart.
