Dear Pottery Barn,
Greatly disappointed to once again put an item in my cart and it's backordered with expected delivery two months away. I ordered a custom fabric sectional from you that came in faster than a dining room table, chairs, media unit and multiple rugs. Not to mention I ordered a jewelry organizer from pbteen today that you advertised in your just mailed out catalog as a great Christmas gift. Low and behold when I added it to my cart it was once again backordered saying I wouldn't receive it until February! Defeats the purpose of a Christmas gift! It's unfortunate your buyers can't figure out proper inventory as I really do love your products. Incidentally, I'm typing this from my living room watching my tv on the floor. Still awaiting my media unit I ordered in September!
