Where these two actually differ
- We flag Formaldehyde resins in textile finishing, Azo dyes and heavy metal colorants and Dye migration or bleeding onto skin or other fabrics on the Pottery Barn and not on the West Elm.
- We flag Azo dyes and heavy metals in pigments, Formaldehyde resins in finishing and Allergens and sensitizers in sizing or dyes on the West Elm and not on the Pottery Barn.
- The Pottery Barn is 100% cotton textile, no stated coating where the West Elm is polyester blend curtain fabric, no reported durable water repellent coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
