Pottery barn bedford smart wall cabinet full#
Add to that the lack of full extension and you never see your files in the back. They are about a centimeter from the front/back exterior "walls" and files will get wedged in that area and they are very diffucult to get out without hurting your fingers. FInally, the way they configured the hanging file metal "supports" inside causes you to lose additional space in the front and the back. So, its very difficult to get to files at the back. Also, none of the drawers are full extension (an annoyance with the children's furniture I have from them as well). All drawers feel "wobbly" when extended, especially the big laterals. We have several sizes of the filing cabinets. No employees at this location but all the business office items we handle. We have an actual "working" office we run all of our businesses out of. Decor is beach cottage style as we wanted something happy while we were working. We have an older Greek revival home with detached garage and apartment above (now the home office). I have the Bedford in white in our home office. Late response to this so you may have already made a decision. Even if the IKEA one dies and I have to replace it, I can do so 4 times before approaching the cost of the Lee. If you've got the money for Lee, it's definitely a better sofa, but for a the size sectional I have in the basement, you are looking at $800ish for IKEA vs. The upside is that IKEA tends to keep the same styles forever, so if your cover gets dirty (or you're just in the mood for a change), you can buy a new one for not a whole lot of money. I wouldn't count on washing the slips regularly because they can be a pain to get on and off and they can shrink.
If you want to go IKEA, I'd stay with a darker color (to avoid staining). They are also suprisingly comfy - some IKEA sofas are not, so I would recommend sit-testing something in person before buying. But I owned a different IKEA sofa (the Ekeskog) where the cushions slid off the thing every time someone sat on it. Both are going on 2 years old and still look brand new in spite of being in my kids playroom where they serve as trampolines and forts just as often as are sofas.
Right now, we have the Karlstad line of sofas in our basement - a corner sectional and a loveseat. I've owned several and some hold up better than others. Lee sofas are my favorite brand stylisitically, but they are very pricey - around here they are more expensive than PB. The JCP furniture was close in cost to what I paid for the PB pieces, so this was a disappointment.Ĭomparing IKEA to Lee is not a fair comparison. The finish on all was not as attractive as pictured, and many parts of the dresser were not solid wood, but particle board. The pieces I bought from JCP were a dining table, windsor chairs, coffee table, end table, console, two windsor style bar stools and a dresser. I was impressed that all the structural pieces, (those that can't be seen when the table is assembled), were all solid wood, also. I recently decided to alter the finish of the console, from a stained finish to black paint, and had to completely disassemble this piece to properly remove all the stain prior to priming and paint. They are all solid wood and relatively heavy to move. They are several years old and have held up exceedingly well to vigorous family room activity. The pieces I bought from PB were a round coffee table, side table and couch console. I've also furnished a living room in rental property with pieces from JCP and was disappointed with the quality. Duane Collie The Keeping Roomĭissenter here - I've purchased three pieces of living room furniture from PB, and been delighted with the quality and stability of all three. A well-made custom-built unit is going to be closer to $ 5,000, regardless of what part of the country you are in. Custom built for that kind of money? Raw material alone would almost come to $ 1,500 in solid hardwoods that are stain grade, finishing material, hardware for slides, etc. This is what the American consumer has been demanding and Pottery Barn has delivered it to you. Realistically the price is beat down as far as you are ever going to get it. 50 per hour) made of composite woods and fibers. Here we are looking at a mass-produced (as in thousands of units) combination done by a mass marketer, made in China (where the hourly rate is. A recurring theme here on this forum is 'More for Less' and I can tell you that 99.99 % of the time thats an impossibility. The Pottery Barn system (work table top, lateral file cabinet, 2 3-drawer file cabinets) I need would cost $1500 - there's gotta be a way to either get it cheaper or get better quality for that kinda money! ******* Looking for higher quality/custom built for less money? That's a bit like looking for the Mercedes S-Class at the Toyota Camry price.
