I love love that store for small/medium size furniture after that experience. I don’t think I would ever actually do large furniture from there after everything I’ve heard/seen.

@Court: Excellent tip! Good to know – most of our stuff was “throw in the bed of the truck” size!

I mean for furniture its almost unavoidable–but if its a smaller item like a chair that can go into the bed or back of a truck/suv, I would say send it to the store.

I didn’t know I could do site to store at PB…I just knew my Mom’s furniture delivery was also a disaster…

We got a lot of decor, lockers, etc for Aus’ room as a toddler and it was a disaster with delivery. Getting it to go to the store and then picking up worked wonders.

I ended up getting this one: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Box-Arm-Mid-Back-Executive-Chair-Black/6022819 I had it sent site to store and it was the easiest online transaction ever!
