Why is PB furniture so
 I want a dining set from Pottery Barn but it is over 2k... I didnt want to spend that much because I dont want to be married to it since we aren't going to be in this house forever!!!
Do they ever have any coupons for furniture?

Re: Why is PB furniture so
Did you try the outlet in Riverhead?
IMO, I don't like the quality of their furniture, I don't think it is worth the $$$ they are asking.

Re: Why is PB furniture so
I did get a coupon for 10% off when I moved, so I think they do send them out occasionally. We got 3 pieces of furniture, so the coupon actually did end up saving us a good chunk of $.
It is a bit pricey, but we both love the furniture and I think it is better quality than the other places we looked (about 6 other stores in our area in Nassau.) The other things I liked about them was their customer service was excellent and delivery was a pleasure. I would buy from them again. It was more expensive, but to us it was worth it.

That's probably why they give the employees 50% off!

I have heard that Restoration Hardware gives a huge employee discount too - like 50%

Yeah, they're in direct competition with each other, so they have to. Actually, Restoration was opened by former PB employees in the late/mid '90's. I remember it being a "big issue" back when I was a PB employee. Even with the discount, you still can't afford the stuff! 
So many places give employees 50% off...Coach (not home related, but still) does too.

Re: Why is PB furniture so
I don't think I would recommend the outlets in Riverhead for furniture. I have been looking there for almost a year for a table and just about all the furniture has some sort of damage. I would buy a damage piece and fix it, but not for the ridiculous prices they're still asking for them.
My friend got a job at PB and furnished her whole house using her discount- I've thought about doing that over the summer- just for the discount.
