I love Pottery Barn's simple American aesthetic and have been a customer since the first store in New York opened ages ago. The "jelly jar" drinking glasses with lids were my go-to beverage and storage containers for years. I order more on line now, but always go to the stores to check out the actual materials and craftsmanship of the items. I am super happy with the huge file cabinets I got last year with counter hung drawers and anti-tip locks. The delivery was seamless, and the young men who assembled and installed them were friendly! Our local store is small, so I always check in at the Del Monte Pottery Barn when I am in Monterey. I have liked the Christmas tree ornaments from Pottery Barn for years, and luckily collected many of the mercury balls and Victorian themed designs. This year's assortment is a bit thin and the all green and white tree just not as festive as the holiday season!! We were greeted immediately, and steered to the dishes we wanted to see, but the white, grey, and blue color scheme of the current design trends is just a bit too bland for us. I can't wait until sage green or turquoise make a come back in PB's color schemes. Meanwhile, I will still explore the products at the store, but here's hoping for a livelier spring, especially after the isolation of the recent pandemic! read more
