Outside during the holidays

My wife has a homing device imbedded in her that absolutely lures her into West Elm every time we're near. By default, I've made my way in here and have to say it's pretty nice! In the IKEA/Target era where it's easy to furnish on the cheap, West Elm takes a different approach of pure quality, modern aesthetics and a price tag to match. It's not a cheap store by any stretch, and I think they like it that way. The kind of furniture or decor here is going to be built to last, and almost everything in the store is eye catching. I also like that they're involved with the local community. We've bought from local artists showcasing illustrations here, and are planning to come in for a pet & family photo shoot with donations benefiting a local animal shelter. For window shopping on the Plaza, West Elm can't be beat.

Really loved this location of West Elm. They are dog friendly and as we were traveling through town with our dog it made our mini vacation delightful to have him along with us to do every day things like shop and dine in KC. They have the show room set up really nicely, and we were able to find quite a few things in the store to take home with us. Staff kept checking on us to make sure we were doing OK and I saw them cleaning and disinfecting things that customers had touched in a timely manner. Great experience.

We entered the West Elm and were initially approached by Zahaira, who was very helpful. She printed info for us, gave us swatches, offered to show us a video of her favorite couch, was patient and attentive and did not pressure us. Our sofa sectional requirements are specific since both my hubby and are not tall people (I'm 5' 3") so the seat depth absolutely had to be comfortable for both of us. The majority of sofas we've shopped are way too deep and won't support our backs properly. She pointed out a couple couches that we really liked, then when I asked her if there was anything else she thought we should take a look at, she raved about the Tillary. To be perfectly candid, I had dismissed this piece since it appeared too low at first glance. However, once I was introduced to it, I simply fell in love with the versatility of this 8 piece sectional. It was beautiful, comfortable, functional, easy to move around and separate, could turn into a guest bed, and the back cushions can be moved forward to decrease the seat depth to fit me!!! (Say WHAT?!?!?) See the West Elm video (TRT 1:35) by the designer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh9P1ObpHYE#t=10 Sure, I'm a little concerned about taller friends who may push back on the sofa when they recline, but that's an almost non-issue for our family room, as we intend to have one of the sofa beds placed against a wall. We imagine it will look perfect; it's low back cushion design won't block the windows along that wall. Also, our last sofa was way too deep for us. Period. (Our guests were always comfortable, but WE weren't and it is foolish to make that choice again.) We went back three times to check it out after shopping around (we lounged on the floor model for a LONG time) and after comparing, nothing came close to the package offering of the Tillary Modular. So we went back to seal the deal just before the store's sofa sale ended. Krista & Michael helped us finish the purchase and and were also very gracious. Since we stacked the available discounts: store's sofa sale (15% off) plus the moving discount (15% off) and opened a West Elm credit line (same as cash for 12 months option) our irritation with the steep 10% shipping fees was soothed. We chose a custom color fabric which will take 10-12 weeks... we can hardly wait!

Sofa delivered with incorrect legs. Extremely too low to ground and not what we ordered.

WE JUST WANT SOFA LEGS! I ordered furniture from the West Elm KC Plaza store on 3/3/2020 prior to all of this coronavirus shutdown. I was told to please order from store instead of online due to the fact that "my customer service would be better" if I had a store to take care of my issues. My furniture delivered finally 5/12/2020 and the custom sofa I ordered delivered with 1 inch stub legs instead of the pecan higher legs. My husband is 6'3", so you can imagine it is like sitting on the ground. The delivery men were SO nice, and had me leave a comment that it was incorrect, and instantly called customer service. The only reason I give this store even 1 star is because of how delightful the delivery men were. I also called the store to let them know of the incorrect item and they also said they'd handle it and to leave the furniture at my house. I've been told countless times by the managers at the KC Plaza store that there are two teams working on it, and that they'll call me as soon as they have updates. Not once did a manager call me first, I've had to hound them over and over to please escalate this issue or to just give me legs from a sofa in their store. The lack of concern for the incorrect delivery is shocking to me. Joseph specifically said to me "are you aware that there's a global pandemic", "at least my sofa is structurally sound", and that they are "at a loss for words of what to tell me." He was SO blatantly rude and I couldn't believe that is how he spoke to a CUSTOMER of the store. I am so frustrated at how this whole situation has been handled. I've been told the legs would be overnighted, then I was told the legs would arrive in 7-10 days, then it was "we hope to hear that they've shipped after the holiday weekend", and now it's "we have no update!" I'm the customer that spent $2500 on new furniture and the company already has my money and has no urgency to fix THEIR problem, not mine. I waited 2 months for the furniture to deliver, and I've already waited 16 days for this to STILL be an unresolved issue. I will never purchase an item from this store ever again. This is some of the WORST customer service I've ever experienced.

You'd think with the prices they charge they'd let a customer use the restroom and the drinking fountain...but.....NO. How rude.

My friend and I call this place old lady-chic. They're bedding often has exaggerated floral…read morepatterns that go beyond dated into this sort of fashionable realm...we both really like it and can recognize its odd appeal from spending too much time at our grandmother's houses, I'm sure. I like walking through the Plaza location, it's airy and interesting (although if you aren't a 50 year-old yuppie, don't hold your breath to be greeted at the door.) The prices go above and beyond what I'll be able to afford in bedding for the next 20 years, but a girl can dream can't she? I fell in love with this dreamy classic, romantic-looking cradle with a golden silk canopy draped around the four posts - for a regal baby with wealthy parents. The price tag is like $2,000, but it would look magnificent in a well-planned nursery, a mother's dream crib. Last time I was inside, I was all too coolly ignored...so bad in fact, I wondered why they spent so much effort ignoring some people and not others! And when I walked to the back of the store, I guess I caught their eye because one woman was sent to "check" on me...basically, to see if I was stealing. Oh yes! What I would have loved to take from the towel department (sarcasm)! Beyond this, Scandia Down is a place to escape in. It has beautifully detailed home pieces and a woman who enjoys decorating with an either exotic or old-fashioned flair (they somehow cover both tastes quite well) - would be happy to look around one day while window shopping on the Plaza.

The items at Scandia Down are very posh and over-priced. They have a delightful array of soaps,…read morehand towels, throw pillows and decorative, scented candles, but this is certainly not a place that inspires adjectives like "exciting." There are many objects that are quite lovely, but much of the bedding and decorative linens border on "dowdy" with floral patterns that are anything but youthful. My greatest praise for Scandia Down is for the bed frame that I purchased here. It sits holds the box springs a full 18-inches above the floor, making it possible for a grown man to climb under the bed if necessary. (Anyone who has ever tried to take a reluctant housecat to the vet knows how wonderful this feature might be!) Scandia Down has models of some of the charming metal bedframes on the floor, and a thick catalog from which a bed can be ordered in a variety of styles, sizes and finishes.

So, I'm not quite sure what a "lifestyle store" is, but I think George supports the type of…read morelifestyle I'd like to live. This fantastic boutique doesn't have a ton of merchandise, but I want all of it. Well, not the ladies clothes, as I'm not a crossdresser. But if I were, I'd be a classy one and probably buy my clothes at George, too. Seriously, this store is nice! I'm impressed in particular by three areas: the pet stuff, their books and their dishes. Their little pet corner is small, but adorable. They had really great chew-toys, leashes, collars and dog bowls. The dog bowls would look fantastic in a modern home, and we plan on getting one of the collars for our pooch once her current one starts looking natty. Their collection of books is incredibly well curated. Lots of great cookbooks, cocktail guides and coffee table books. Also, they have a couple of kids books that certain parents would be way into, if you want your kids learning about CoCo Chanel and the like. Their dishes are all VERY nice (and quite expensive) and if I hung out with a higher tax bracket, I'd be hoping for wedding gifts from here. The store is just really pretty, as well. I was equally impressed with their fixtures and general ambiance as I was their merchandise. I'll be back for sure, as soon as I have some extra funds to spend on making my house look extra fancy.

If people were as passionate about shopping local retailers as much as they are eating at local…read morerestaurants, this store should be filled wall to wall with consumers. George is on the same level as Manifesto is to drinking and bluestem is to eating.....locally owned with great attention to detail. George is a beautiful, open and fresh boutique and design store. Everything in the store is well thought out and placed with purpose. It's a great destination for a gift, a thoughtful addition to home decor or even just a business to visit for inspiration. Stop by and treat yourself to some visual stimulation and support this locally owned boutique store in the beautiful Crestwood Shops.
