I bought a $900 sofa from West Elm last October, and about a month ago, it started making weird, bad sounding crunching noises when I sat down on it. It progressively got worse, until a couple weeks ago, when something seriously went wrong, and the... Read full review...

At first glance, West Elm looks great and reasonably priced. But then I started shopping around and realized the quality is not great and the price is only good on certain items. If you factor in all the delivery charges, the prices are terrible... Read full review...

Delivery was very fast, BUT due to a website glitch they sent 2 extra items and charged me for them even though I had deleted them from the shopping cart. It did not show up on the order verification, but showed up when I got the package. I tried to... Read full review...

West Elm has good looking furniture and accessories. Think Ikea but a bit more sophisticated and solid wood. Still not heirloom pieces or anything... Unfortunately, I have had TWO bad experiences with West Elm. West Elm's customer service is the... Read full review...

We purchased a "cube" cut-out cabinet in a dark stain. Extremely fast delivery, very securely packed (nothing was damaged or scratched), high quality woods, espresso wood stain is beautiful, and you can't beat the prices for the quality. Our West Elm... Read full review...

Let me start off by saying that I'm an interior designer at heart -- a funky, eccentric designer. I can't stand white walls, and the vast majority of my rooms have themes (most themes don't match). I feel it gives my home a very eclectic and fun... Read full review...

I've purchased a few things from west elm. I bought a couch, and it is terrible. My friends & I all joke about it, since it's just that bad. It's OK to lie down on as it's basically a day bed. but, it was sold as a "sofa" and it is the worst "sofa"... Read full review...

I've only made one purchase -- a coffee table -- but if it is representative of West Elm's quality control, stay away! The piece required assembly, something I'm accustomed to from many an IKEA purchase. But while IKEA pieces usually provoke a few... Read full review...

West Elm is the funky, modern alternative to Pottery Barn. They offer stylish, modern furniture and accessories for reasonable prices. While most of the furniture isn't investment quality, it would be great for a first apartment, first home or other... Read full review...
