Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and heavy metal mordants and Formaldehyde finish resins on the Pottery Barn and not on the West Elm.
- We flag Azo dyes in floral print and Residual pesticides in linen on the West Elm and not on the Pottery Barn.
- The Pottery Barn is 100% linen cover where the West Elm is 100% linen or linen-blend cover (no durable water repellent finish specified), 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: 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 →
