Re: Pottery Barn Sofa Vs King Hickory - Help Please!!
Pottery Barn does not make their own furniture, they contract out all their pieces among several suppliers. Who knows the quality from one to another? Unless you can either see how its made be looking underneath and into the components, or tear one down then it could be somewhere from awful to OK depending on the vendor they use. King Hickory at least makes its own pieces and has a better name in the trade. You can read this post here on the forum on Pottery Barn furniture, though its now several years old:

I think it wise to avoid buying all furniture from the Mall-type stores (Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Arhaus, etc). Any furniture store located in a premium real estate area has such high overhead in operating costs it comes back to you as the consumer in either higher prices, or lower quality - its' unavoidable. Good luck
