Pottery Barn Outlet=BFF

April 27, 2011 by Chris

Well, I don’t have a PB outlet (nor do I have a HomeGoods, but I won’t talk about that right now. Sensitive subject), but my Mom does! Guess who went back home for Easter and totally scored? Me. I did.

My intention was to find a rug. You know, thee rug. No such luck. My mom, however, bought my daughter this duffle bag for Easter. The website is selling it for $70. The outlet is selling it for $30. Say wha?

Jet-Set Duffle, Dark Coffee Berkeley

And now for the best part. I’ve been looking for a counter-height craft desk for months now. No exaggeration. I finally conceded that I would just have to make one myself. While I was not happy about that idea, I figured it was my only option. Plus, I knew it would probably cost me more than I wanted to spend.

Until….PB stepped it up. This is currently on sale for $450. Take a moment to soak that in. With tax and shipping, we’re talking about a small desk for over $500. Huh?

So this is actually the one I found. I don’t want a dark desk, but as I examined it a little more closely, I realized that we just might be a perfect match. You wanna know the price, don’t you?Pottery Barn craft desk

Here’s how the markdowns went on the tag…

$499

$299

$199

$150

$99 (another 10% off)

$89 OUT. THE. DOOR

While it doesn’t come without its hiccups, I’m willing to invest a little work into it. Other than the scratches on top, it’s in perfect condition. Well, it will be when I finish it up.

I’ve gotta dress her up a bit, and I’ll be back. Until then, a word of advice for you—when in doubt about ordering something from Pottery Barn, try their outlets first!

    Wow, what a steal on that desk! Lucky you!! We have a PB outlet not too far from where I live and I'm ashamed to say I've never been. You might have just changed that. I'll tell hubby to thank you! Haha!

    First off….Nuh uh my jaw dropped for the $89 desk and was stuck at the uh until I saw the disassembled pieces of beauty in your dining room. Then my jaw raised a little to more of an oooohhhh. I cant wait to see the new pieces in their places.

    So glad you got such a great deal sweetheart. You deserve it! You forgot to tell your followers how you used your beauty and charms to get the loading dock guys to put the desk in the car!!! That's a whole new post.
