Disappointed!
April 17, 2013
I bought the soap dispenser for our French-inspired bathroom. It would be perfect except it leaks after each use. I have to wipe up a small puddle of soap everytime I have used it so far, it's very annoying. I might just go back to the 99 cent pump I was using before...it was ugly, but it held the soap in. Expected better quality for a $25 soap dispenser and from Pottery Barn. Only reason this didn't get 1 star is because it does look nice.

Pretty, but not exactly practical for daily use
February 19, 2013
The tops of the canisters do not securely sit on the canisters, they are easily knocked off…which unfortunately, I learned the hard way when reaching for a cotton ball, I knocked the top onto the floor and watched it crack into pieces. Additionally, the lotion dispenser, after about 2 years of regular use and refill, has a visible crack from the mouth of the dispenser down along the side of it. I know I don’t screw the pump on too snugly as I consciously have been careful not to in fear of exactly that, a crack, appearing. Additionally, the rubber tube inside the dispenser popped off the pump recently, and when I tried to retrieve it from inside the porcelain dispenser, the tube had torn and now doesn’t sit securely back on the pump. I still love the way these items look, and I have had no issue with the tray or the waste basket, but the lotion dispenser and the canisters are finicky and if I were looking to purchase these again, I would not.

Nice looking, but pump rusts...
December 16, 2012
This collection has a very nice, classy look. Everything looks as nice as in the images (in case you have not seen them in the store). I have the toothbrush holder, the wastebasket and the soap pump. My only issue was that the pump in the soap pump rusted quickly after use. It got pretty bad after a couple of months. I went to the store and exchanged it for a new one (no objections from the personel). It keeps getting rust, but now I clean it with Lime-A-Way on a weekly basis. If you are willing to do that it should be ok, but if you let it rust badly, it will then be hard/impossible to remove the rust. The other items worked fine for me.

Exactly what I wanted
December 10, 2012
We have a black and white bathroom and this really looks good on the black counter tops...they also go with the Izola black/white shower curtain we purchased for this room. My favorite pieces are the tissue box and the largest container with lid. We also bought two toothbrush holders and wastebasket. I think we will purchase the two other containers and lotion dispensers, but haven't decided, yet. I also like this "set" because you don't have to buy every piece, you can just buy a couple or all of them. I haven't put anything in it, but if you are looking for a standout piece, the large container seems to be versitile (i.e. you could put in some fake flowers or cotton balls or potpourri).

A new look
October 29, 2012
I love the look this gives my bath! They are fragile but beautiful. I purchased the large canaster, two small and the tray to set the two small canasters. The black and off white design gives my bath an elegant look. Combined with a black edged mirror and some black towels was a simple and inexpensive bath makeover.

french soap container
October 18, 2012
it is really cute, but it leaks. It's too messy, I am constantly wiping up after it. I would have sent it back, but I had already thrown away the box and my previous dispenser when I realized the problem.

Bath Accessories
July 23, 2012
The Apothecary bath accessories are high quality pieces. My wife and I are very satisfied with the purchase. Although the trash can wasn't available on line, we did see it at a Pottery Barn store in Atlanta. Overall, we are satisfied with the purchase.

Soap dispensers clog!!!
May 9, 2012
I love the look of this line so we filled each bathroom with the soap dispensers. Every last one of them clog and won't pump despite frequent use and trying different varieties of soap (with different consistencies). Now one of them has disintegrated and the top now has a huge whole where the finish came off and soap can leak out the top! So disappointed in these!

New Vintage
March 6, 2012
I have a vintage bathroom with gray and yellow tiles. The accessories fit perfectly...it's literally new vintage. The "white" is a bit more cream as pictured, which is what I hoped for. LOVE!

Stylish and Functional
February 2, 2012
I recently got married and had the entire apothecary bath accessories collection on our registry. I love the way they look in our bathroom and they are functional. Each jar is big enough for cotton balls, q-tips, etc. I would recommend this product to anyone considering the collection.

Black & White Apothecary Bath Accessories
September 8, 2011
I bought them as a wedding present. They were on the Pottery Barn bridal registry so obviously the bride liked them but I liked them too. They fit perfectly into vintage or contemporary decor. They give a crisp, fresh look to the bathroom and the black and white will make any other colors pop.

Not useful if it drips...
September 8, 2011
Very nicely styled container, but the pump nozzle drips between uses. I'd expect a $25 pump bottle to actually work right.
PB Customer Service very cordially sent me a replacement-- which also leaks. Afraid I'll be replacing it with a plain glass pump bottle which cost $5 and actually works.

Not as nice as I thought
August 15, 2011
I've wanted some of these accessories since PB started carrying them years ago and finally re-did my bathroom. When they arrived I just wasn't impressed at all. The print decals on 2 items weren't even straight and for the price, they just seemed very average. Pity, but I took them back and got something different.

Love this product
July 25, 2011
This is actually the second apothecary waste can that I have purchased from Pottery Barn. I bought the first one several years ago when the collection was first introduced and it has held up so well and is so beautiful. When we added a second bathroom to our home I looked, but was unable to find a waste can that I liked as much as this one so I bought a matching can for the second bathroom!
