Anyone Use Pottery Barn Kids Nursery Furniture?

[Anonymous]

Wat is your experience with PBK nursery furniture? Crib, dresser, chair, etc. Is the price worth it?

My sister handed down her PB crib to us after her two kids, it lasted through my kids, and then I handed down to a friend. Still going strong and very happy with it.

I now how a PB kids trundle bed and a desk and am happy with both.

In my kids’ nursery I have an ikea crib and a pottery barn dresser with the changing table top. I figured the dresser we would use for a lot longer than a crib, so I spent more money there.

The pottery barn dresser still looks new 4+ years and two kids in. That said, the ikea crib has held up great and converted from a crib to a toddler bed and back without any issues. In the store the $600+ cribs look beautiful, but I don’t think having an $80 crib in my house is really any different.

We have a PBK glider and it's pretty great. Super comfortable and I like that the arms are huge so I can rest stuff (e.g., my phone, snacks) on them.

We bought PBK dressers for our kids and they've held up very well. The first one is 7 years old and if we dusted it more, would look new.

Agree with this. I have Ikea cribs/toddler beds and PBK dresser (+ topper), book case, and side table. The PBK stuff looks great and will continue to last for years. The cribs are chewed on, but have been super functional and transitioned to toddler beds great. I'll probably continue to keep the PBK stuff as we transition to big kid beds, and will happily donate the cribes to whoever needs them.

My Pottery Barn Kids glider is very comfortable but fabric is piling already. We’ve only had the chair since June.

I have all PB furniture but it was gifted by over excited parents. I wouldn’t have paid myself. It looks great and has held
up so far. I’m planning on my son having the dresser and nightstand until he goes to college ...

I'm a PP above who raved about the PBK furniture - but yes, this - my glider/recliner has never worked very well and the fabric has not held up well.

I have the dresser and bed in Kendall white and a glider. They are all magnificent. They've held up very well for 5 years. The toddler bar was a little too long for us to comfortably get in and out of but I'm very happy with it. I wish the glider I'd gotten had a wider arm rest though.

We have a bed, 2 dressers, and a bookcase that are about 7 years old now – all are still in excellent condition.

I actually did the opposite. I got the Kendall crib from PB: https://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/kendall-fixed-gate-crib/ and the Hemnes dresser and Gulliver changing station in white from Ikea.

I got the PBK crib bc it was reasonably affordable, I liked that it had a full child rail (Ikea's did not) and would work as a toddler bed through age 4/5.

I did not go with the PB dresser bc I want to buy whatever set will see my child through high school to match so I figured wait until they are ready for a normal twin or full bed to spend more $$ on a dresser and nightstand. For example, you will notice some items at PB are "simply white" others "french white," sometimes they discontinue styles etc. I didnt want to be stuck with a dresser that would limit the other choices in the future.

OP here. Can you mix and match? For instance, we like the Larkin Crib but prefer the look of the Kendall 6 drawer dresser. Either in white or Chocolate. We wanted gray but both the Larkin and Kendall cribs look too light.

I posted above. You should be fine if the color name is the same. I used the chat function on their website to ask (shopping online bc of Covid).

It’s cheap crap. We bought some of the book cases from pbk

It came in a flat box and we had to assemble ourselves! If I wanted ikea type furniture, I would have gone to ikea!
