Pottery Barn Online

If you want folding chairs go online.

Nextag.com will help you find them AND compare prices.
Go to the Pottery Barn website.
Type "wood folding chairs" into the search box.
Click "Search".

See:

Find a GREAT DEAL on WOOD FOLDING CHAIRS!
Order CHEAP, ON CLEARANCE, wood folding chairs.
Await order.

Receive Order.
Open smallish box; at least it's pretty darn smallish for folding chairs.
Find 4 wood folding-chair-cushions; color: natural.
You chose the natural for color option on your order, remember?

You wondered at choosing a color for wood folding chairs, but you assumed it was a REAL STEAL OF A DEAL to buy wood folding chairs that came with velveteen cushions.

Coming out of shock, you now assume the chairs are coming separately,
but check the receipt for back ordered chairs anyway.


You don't see a back order.

You check the email order confirmation for your order.
It shows an order for wood folding chairs and cushions.

You double check the receipt.

Small print says: Folding Cushion Set, Velvet Raffia.
You check the website.

You go to the home page and enter "wood chair" in the search box.

They all say the same thing:

You're an idiot and Pottery Barn is an idiot and the world of commerce is one big idiotic Catch 22 and you don't get nothin' for nothin', fool!

You plan to go to Cost Plus.

Maybe they have wood folding chairs at Cost Plus that will fit the natural velveteen cushions that were on sale.
