Cee, i read on another forum that the basketweave slub started pilling after 3 months of normal use. For the other comment above- other things i read said anything ”heathered” is more likely to pill. We ended up getting everday velvet because we have kids and need to have it hold up against stains and i also didnt want to deal with pilling. i prefer a weave design, but oh well. we ordered it in January and we are supposed to receive it in June.

Cee,
Thanks so much for clarifying! I ended up ordering the Performance Heathered Basketweave Ivory York slipcovered couches. I will let everyone know how they hold up. I’m hoping we don’t have any pilling issues. 🤞🏻 Best of luck to others searching for the right fabric. It’s a very difficult decision. I’m so glad we have this forum here to discuss.

@Adrienne Varady I'm curious how long it will take to receive them vs the timing they told you at purchase, keep us posted

@vesnatk did your one sofa arrive or have a Feb date still?

Leslie,
Right now it’s saying delivery from May 2-May 18. I’ll keep everyone posted how long it takes.

Hi everyone! we bought the performance cotton in sand, and i am thrilled with it. We have two little boys jumping and spilling stuff so the fact that I haven't washed it yet and it's been over two years its a miracle.

I hope this helps.

I am considering a Pottery Barn sofa in a performance material but I have an added concern. We have two cats and I would like a fabric that would not be tempting for them to scratch on. Any suggestions?

@leslief3 it still says estimated ship date by Feb 17th but I've received no notification that it's shipped so I suspect I'll get another delayed update soon... sigh.

Does anyone have any experience with the Sunbrella Performance Slub Tweed in Pebble? Ordering it in the York Slope Arm deep sofa. Concerned about pilling and cleaning . Thanks !

Hi Allison,

Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't caught that one. I thought I've combed through pretty well.

Okay. Maybe I should try the crossweave.

I have the Sunbrella performance slub tweed in pebble. We’ve had it a couple years. It does not pill and cleans easily.

Anyone have experience with the boucle fabric in oatmeal? We just ordered an upholstered york square arm sofa with this fabric.

Anyone with Performance Slub Cotton in silver taupe or oatmeal that would like to give us an update on how it's holding up (aside from shrinking slipcovers), is it still doing well with not staining and not piling?

Wow… this is going to take awhile.

We just ordered the PB Pearce sectional in Slate. I love the comfort, color, and how it looks in our room. A major problem is that it traps and shows every bit of fuzz, hair, lint lint. 😬

@Melissa Anne just to be clear, what is the type of fabric in Slate color? Is it Performance Tweed? If so will be curious if you see piling?

The performance velvet. We have a 12 year old dark green velvet couch used in our basement and have never had a problem with that, so didn’t have reservations about this new one

Very disappointed to spend $4,000 and need to use a lint roller every time we sit down. The sales lady knew it would be our daily use furniture and should have steered us away. Still waiting to hear how customer service will handle

An example of one day of dust, fuzz and hair. Please note, this is a very clean well maintained house. Not at all from poor maintenance. We have had this couch a week now

@Melissa Anne, that looks horrible. I can see why you are unhappy. I've seen several positive reviews on performance velvet here and wonder if others with recent experiences can share if they are seeing similar issue. I hope you BP is willing to address this. Best of luck!

For all those concerned with pilling, I read this on the Arhaus website concerning fabrics when looking at sofas/sectionals. They use similar fabrics as PB. Maybe it would help if Pottery Barn posted something similar on their website too.

It would help if I posted the actual screenshot wouldn’t it?

@Adrienne Varady - After reading all of these reviews, there is nothing we can find (pro or con) about the "performance heathered basketweave" fabric. We are also trying to decide if we should purchase our PB Comfort sectional in the Ivory Performance Heathered Basketweave. Please share your feedback once yours arrives. Thanks!

Hi Renee,
I will definitely give feedback on the fabric when we receive our couch. I’m hoping it arrives on time. 🤞🏻

Radi M, did you buy the Performance Brushed Basketweave 100% cotton? That is the one the designer recommended after having trouble with the Plush Velvet. They are being flexible at least

Clarification- the Performance PLUSH Velvet is the one we have problems with. The sales lady told me (after the fact) that the regular performance Velvet does not trap lint and dust

If you are planning on ordering anything to be delivered, plan on multiple delays! My order from last October (2021) has been delayed AGAIN until May 16 - June 3. This is probably the third or fourth delay. Originally I was told 6 - 8 weeks for delivery. If you need something sooner than later, I would order with caution.

Anyone out there have experience with Performance Heathered Basketweave in Dove?

I really like this one but want feedback if it"s out there.

Tried reading through all of these comments but anyone had the Performance Brushed Basketweave (chambray color)? Any piling issues? (note: this is not the same as Premium Performance Basketweave)

Hi leslief3 - I came so close to getting that blue fabric ( I thought it looked like denim which I really wanted) and it’s so soft.. but chose the premium performance basketweave which is just okay. I’d love to know how the performance brushed basketweave, particularly in the blue color holds up too! Thanks for asking!!

@Ellen Nolan can I ask what does "just okay" mean? Does it pill? Does it stain? Did anyone ever get an explination what the difference between Performance Basketweave and Premium Performance Basketweave means???

Yes, it does pill some and is generally kind of fuzzy. We are pretty casual people and it doesn’t bother me as much as it seems to for others, but I think I would get another fabric if I had a do over

thanks @Ellen Nolan This picking a fabric process really is impossible. How is it with stains? Do you have kids/dogs?

@bev Erwin- That exact couch will be delivered to me Friday! I can let you know!

@Wendy lindsay please report back! When did you order it?

Leslief3 the premium performance basketweave is real easy with spills. No stains in over three years. I wash fairly frequently as we have a very shed-y corgi mix who is allowed on the couch.

thank you @Ellen Nolan for your feedback! I'm between Performance Heathered Basketweave Dove (100% Polyester) and Performanced Brushed Basketweave Chambray (100% cotton) now. The Chambray is $1,200 more but kind've just basing decision on color unless I have a reason to think one won't work and I keep waffling on which color I prefer.

Hi Leslie3- okay, I think I misspoke! The blue fabric I almost went with was actually called Brushed Crossweave and I loved it in the navy because it looked like denim. I just double checked online because I wanted to be doubly sure I wasn’t steering you toward a different fabric than what you wanted. Turns out, I believe the chambray fabric you’re looking at is a different sort. I’m incredibly sorry and I should have checked before I spoke. Unfortunately (for me) they no longer carry the fabric I liked! So, I can really only attest to the Premium Performance Basketweave as I currently have that in my sofa.

It’s all the terms ”, Premium, Basketweave, Brushed, Performance” etc - they all sound alike…..

@leslief3 I ordered it in October. It has been pushed back many times. However, they called for a delivery time...so maybe its a go?

Positive update- PB sales associate was very helpful and is switching out our problem fabric. Happy they are standing behind their products 😀

Can anyone comment on performance heathered tweed in ivory does it stain with someone wearing jeans?

@Wendy lindsay Did you get your sofa? Let's see it! Which fabric is it again? Hope it came as scheduled and was easy.

@leslief3 Leslie we Performance Heathered Basketweave Dove- It definitely has a light gray look unlike online. The couch is extremely comfy and we have had no problems with texture yet.

@Wendy lindsay Oh my gosh that 's the same sofa I'm getting I think (Pearce L-shaped with wedge in Performance Heathered Basketweave Dove) and I have almost the same labradoodle too on my 16 1/2yr old Pearce sofa.

Really looks gray in your room I'll be curious if it does in mine. Won't know til August. Thanks for sharing!

Hey All! Anyone has west elm marime sectional or sofa in performance twill alabaster. Will the fabric close to white and does the couch feel soft and comfortable? Trying to order this option given faster delivery, however reading delayed delivery comments here worried if it's worth the hurry. Any inputs much appreciated

Hi All,

we have the Pearce roll arm 3 piece sectional with wedge in Performance Heathered Basketweave Alabaster White. So far we love the couch. We have a newly 6yo boy who lives to lay on it, occasionally jump on it. Its not white white, and the fabric is not as soft as our previous microfiber couch but its very comfortable and has a nice seating depth. i tested samples as well and the samples responded well to cleanup so we went agead and took the risk to order 4 counter stools in the same white fabric. yikes! will update after we get some more use.

It looks so good! thank you for sharing your review and photo - that really helos! could you also share the name if your rug and whete you bought it? it is exactly what I am looking for!

The rug I got from HomeSense but I see it for sale at Bloomingdales. may be able to shop around for a better price. its the Feizy Oaklyn Area Rug in Ivory.

Adrienne Varady I'm getting ready to pull the trigger and order 2 PB York sofas and the fabric you got, "Performance Heathered Basket Weave Ivory" is in my top 3. I also like the Performance Everyday Linen in ivory. I've read good things about it. However, I prefer to have something that can be washed, and I believe the fabric that you got can be washed. It is hard to keep it all straight. Anyway... I think you said your sofas are due to arrive very soon (today is May 15th). Would love to hear how it all goes. I'm trying to gauge how long things will REALLY take. Not what PB website is telling me which is Aug. 10th. That's got to be a big lie. lol
