So I have never ordered anything from them. I think they are too big and while WSH might be the upscale version of Pottery Barn in my life I have gotten quite a few things from them and I have to say the quality is poor. I'm done with PB and PB KIds too. I will continue to get ideas and inspiration from PB kids and PB teen, but that's it.Pemberleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608379824915517929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030321330133573582.post-74559243638564572962010-02-25T17:33:58.086-06:002010-02-25T17:33:58.086-06:00Hi AB HOME Interiors.

Once I ordered a shell on a stand, and they sent me one with the soldering (sp) all apparent and messed up. So I sent it back and the replacement was acceptable.

Especially the PB line. I personally had a problem with an upholstered bed that took plenty of time, calls and emails to get resolved!!! But as far as WSH for linens, glass/metal pieces, ottomans, lamps and accessories it's been good.<br /><br />The bigger issue for me has been their white glove service or lack there of...and I file a complaint everytime there is a problem. I once refused delivery for a client because the driver was so smelly/sweaty and arrived without the required blue shoe protectors!!! Couldn't risk her carpets being soiled or his dirty hands touching the newly upholstered chairs.<br /><br />I think any company must understand good customer service and professional delivery are almost as important as the merchandise they are selling.<br /><br />Be patient, another suitable desk is out there somewhere!:)Acanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030321330133573582.post-1787388492456657342010-02-24T14:57:56.916-06:002010-02-24T14:57:56.916-06:00Hi, Herself!
