So great!
April 10, 2012
We bought this a few months ago and it is great. I bought the lighter color (which looks a little darker in person) The color is great and it is very sturdy, it seems like it will last for years!

Just arrived and i really like it! Looks beautiful. I had to send back the first one because it was damaged, but pottery barn was super easy to exchange with and sent a new one quickly.

Larger than it looks and sturdy
January 21, 2012
This is a great piece. I bought it in the mahogany for our entryway and I love it. It is very sturdy, well constructed, and the hardware included makes it easy to hang and secure to the wall. We use the cubbies for each child's hats and gloves which has made our mornings much easier getting ready for school. It fills our space nicely and looks great on the wall. Highly recommend!

I Love It!
January 19, 2012
I just received my calendar today and it is absolutely GORGEOUS! I plan to use it for my husband's keys (and mine as well), my purse, his wallet (and whatever else we always lose) since we can't seem to keep them in a good location. I've already filled in the important dates for this month and we placed it in a cozy space behind the front door with the coat rack. It's a perfect match!
I bought the dark cherry finish and although it was expensive, I believe this product will serve our family well in the future.

Received broke
January 19, 2012
I was very excited to receive this item; however after hanging it I noticed that the back was "broke" away from the cubbies at the bottom. It came packaged very well, which makes me believe it was shipped like this. Still love it, and get many compliments on how nice it looks.

Very pleased!
January 11, 2012
I was very hesitant to order this since, even at final sale price, it was not inexpensive... and because I couldn't change my mind, being that it's final sale.
We took the plunge and ordered this in the pine finish, and it's very rich in color. Much deeper than most pine finished furniture; but it looks great, regardless.
Our house has a very small back entry with minimal space, and I wanted something with a shelf, small cubbies for misc stuff, and hooks for backpacks and the kids' jackets... and something that didn't protrude too much into that small space. This is perfect! It gives us the opportunity to have a bit of a mud room, even though we're lacking on the room part of the equation.
We haven't installed it yet, but it looks pretty straight forward. I like that it will be very flush against the wall (less likelihood of bumping it).
Overall, a very practical and pretty piece that will add function and style to our small space.

How did I live without this?
November 4, 2011
This is such a beautiful way to stay organized! I love that I can write my family's schedule & have a place to store items. We currently use the pegs for 1) my daughter's backpack 2) my purse 3) keys & flashlights. The cubbies are great for my husband's wallet, my sunglasses, etc. I LOVE that it is a chalkboard, as I really prefer this look to a whiteboard. This is hanging in our living room/dining room, and it looks wonderful. It comes with hardware, and if mounted properly it can hold quite a bit of weight (my purse is very heavy). If you have many things to write down for each day on the calendar, this may not be the best option for you. However, I usually write one or two things down for each day, and it is not a problem. I love it!

not up to pbarn standards
October 23, 2011
Was extremely disappointed to open my 2nd box to find it in the same uneven stain condition! The 1st one was damaged & the stain looked as though my 3yr old applied it. Thought it was a fluke but the 2nd one is worse. Not what you should ever see for this $$ or from the high standard PB usually has! Great concept, horrible execution! However, They were very easy to work with on returning both.

Mixed Reviews
October 15, 2011
First off, this piece is unique and beautiful! I looked everywhere for a calendar of this style, and this was the most appealing in function and appearance. However, this is WAY overpriced. It is exactly what I wanted, so I didn't mind paying the price...until I received it. The backboard of the calendar was not executed correctly, and didn't fit into place (Can only be seen from behind). If you look closely enough, you can also see the cubby backing is pulling away from it. Overall, it is special enough for me to keep it. It is quite stunning! But for the price, I think PB should pay more attention to the details.

Seriously favorite piece from PBK. Espresso is gorgeous. Great quality Compartments larger than expected. I have been looking for a place for my husband to unload his wallet, keys, & hat instead of counter. This holds his stuff, my stuff, my daughters, her backpack & baby bag! & still looks good. Thanks.

Ultimate in organization
October 14, 2011
This will help any family stay organized, so easy to see what and where everyone needs to be. I too got the chalk markers, and everyone has their own colors.

Great quality in structure, true to color from picture on wood tone. I actually used it in my babies nursery over the changing station, it hubs all the oniments & baby wipes perfectly! I hang toys off the hooks on bottom, along with pacifiers! Great product for any room that you are looking to organize a little further!

The quality of this system is unbeatable for the price. I ordered the dark wood and it's very nice. It really helps keep everyone organized and keeps backpacks, supplies together etc.

Perfect family calendar!
September 7, 2011
By far the best calendar to organize a busy family. The rustic pine finish is beautiful. The image provided online is good, but the actual product in person is excellent. This is a fully functional accent piece that will look fabulous displayed on the wall. I have waited for something just like this for a very long time; I could never find the perfect organizer, until now. Shipping was above expectation as it arrived earlier than expected and in pristine condition.

Great Calendar!
August 12, 2011
I am a sucker for anything that will help me be a more organized mom but this product exceeded my expectations. Much bigger and sturdier than I expected. I bought some chalk-ink markers from an online company and this calendar system has garnered so many compliments as it just stands out from anything else on the market. Love, love, love my new calendar.
