The Bad

  • Customer service
  • Delivery
When posing as potential customers, our review team found that the customer service agents were a bit short and not as helpful as one would expect, relative to the cost of the average product. Agents were less inclined to answer questions from "browsers" and seemed to only be interested in serious customers who were ready to purchase. If customers live outside of the listed "major metropolitan areas," delivery can be delayed and more expensive.

The Bottom Line

West Elm's parent company (Williams-Sonoma) is well-known for their quality. Our review team is confident in recommending West Elm for your décor and/or furniture purchase due to their selection and strength of the brand. Their customer service was a little lacking when our team was posing as "browsers," but they did respond to all questions in a timely manner.

Mid century modern flare furniture style. It is beautiful and expensive. The store is beautiful. Makes you want everything. We bought some chairs that ended up being unbalanced and they sent someone over to fix it. Great customer service. Worth the price to pay for the furniture.

I have a rug and a bed frame that I bought from West Elm within the last couple years. I love their furniture. It is the exact style I like. It is modern, but I think it also has a timeless, classic look to it.

Beautiful home and furniture items. Their home decor is always on trend and wonderful quality. All of my boys have bedding from West Elm. The bedding was affordable and has lasted years and still looks great!

Really like WE, we have a few items from there. Couch has been solid, but with our kids not sure it will last. Other items they have are solid.
