    Guilty! I have to really love it to buy it, though

    Yup, love both and shop there frequently for us and for gifts. The quality is really good. All of our furniture still looks brand new after years of usage and manhandling by a toddler.

    I said frequently - though maybe infrequently is more appropriate. Our bed is from there, as is our living room furniture set. We just bought our LO's crib, changing table and rocker from PBK.

    Honestly, the furniture is not priced that much more than other quality semi custom furniture stores. And they do charge a bit for delivery but honestly their delivery service is worth every dollar. They give a 2 hour window, they always give me a 30 mins notice call/text, they install and build everything and remove all garbage. They is worth an extra $50-75 to me.

    Also - not sure if it all is, but our couches from there are Mitchell Gold which is very good quality furniture. The slipcovers show some wear after 5 years (with a dog) but a trip to the dry cleaner and the couches look brand new. I have no complaints.

    I do not shop there for accessories and such though because I do feel most of that is a rip.

    I've never bought anything from there, but I like to thumb through the catalog/site.

    I have shopped there a few times, but recently had a very bad experience - we ordered a bookcase that had a very bad chemical smell when it arrived. We let it air out for a week in the garage, but it still smelled very strongly so I decided to return it, which was a big hassle (I had to called their customer service department 4 separate times and spent 45 minutes in the store trying to get it resolved!).
    I just don't think they're worth the price, especially with the poor customer service I received.

    DS's crib and changer are from there, as well as some of his sheets.

    Nope, it's a little too classic/traditional for my tastes. And the price is a good deterrent, too

    No. I was gifted some things but I'd never spend my money there. Too expensive!

    some stuff, though mostly little things, ie no furniture. my first set of dishes after college was from there, and we have a few random things, like serving bowls, dessert plates, pillows, a curtain. i've gotten gifts from there for people too.

    I love both! Just ordered a Hudson bed this week. Love our barstools from PB. Their furniture is a tad expensive but good quality. I have purchased gifts at PBK from myself. I am in HR & we sent a gift from the company to new parents. I have started ordering their personalized baby blankets as our gift! We get so many compliments on the gift!

    Our bedding and guest room bedding is from PB. I have some random home decor from there. I love all the furniture and kid bedding from PBK. I hope it's in our budget once we have kids. I buy my niece and nephew presents from PBK. I love that they have toys that are unique.
