    I truly love the look of West Elm and everything in this store matches my style. when I walk in the store and look at the catalog, I just want to buy everything. I own a table from West Elm that I purchased in 2019. it holds up and I love it. but recently I bought extremely expensive: - Christmas decorations - dishes - flatware and I literally feel SCAMMED. not dissatisfied, but SCAMMED. how can someone with taste sell me something that is so cheap and low quality for such a high price? West Elm needs to turn around. e.g. here are my extremely expensive flatware that: 1. say "China" on them (classy right?) 2. start chipping after just a moth of use even though they say dishwasher save. one look at this flatware, and one cycle through the dishwasher, should cause these folks to say 'we're too good to sell this' but instead, for their short-term (CERTAINLY, not long term) profit, they sell it to us to scam us. I'll never buy anything from West Elm again, given my recent experiences. better off going to Ikea to look for some new flatware. worse, they don't even allow you to email them about issues with your products. https://www.westelm.com/customer-service/email-us/?cm_type=lnav

    Title: Worst Retail Experience of My Life - West Elm Is an Absolute Disaster I spent $9,539.80 at West Elm on June 7, 2025, and what followed has been an absolute nightmare. From the beginning, the incompetence was staggering. The sales associate made critical errors, including entering the wrong email address and wrong shipping address. I was also overcharged compared to the price displayed in-store. These are basic mistakes that no reputable company should make. Then came the delivery disaster. The furniture arrived well before the expected delivery date--without any notice--and was sent to a house I hadn't even moved into yet. I only found out because the previous homeowner contacted me saying they received my items. No call, no email, no tracking--nothing from West Elm. But that was just the start of the chaos. The coffee table arrived broken, and the sofa is defective and uneven. I reported the sofa issue on July 3. It's now July 25, and I've received zero response. Absolutely unacceptable. As for the broken coffee table, I returned it and re-purchased using a gift card. Due to yet another sales mistake--again, the wrong email address--West Elm refunded the gift card to the wrong email. When I contacted customer service, they had the audacity to tell me to create a fake email account to retrieve it. Unbelievable. In the end, I was forced to wait for the gift card by mail, and I am still missing two gift cards as of today. On top of all this, West Elm miscalculated my sales tax, and instead of refunding the overcharge, a customer service rep told me they owe me nothing. So they make mistakes, and I pay for it. Let's talk about the so-called "White Glove" service. They charged me hundreds of dollars for it and yet failed to properly assemble or install anything. I've had to explain my situation to dozens of clueless reps. No one takes responsibility, no one follows up, and there's zero accountability. I cannot stress this enough: Do NOT order from West Elm, especially any items that require delivery or White Glove service. This company is completely disorganized, unprofessional, and utterly incapable of handling large orders or resolving issues. Nearly two months later, and I'm still fighting for basic resolutions. West Elm has delivered the worst customer service experience of my life, and I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. Avoid at all costs.

    West Elm caters to a more upscale urban lifestyle and originally targeted loft dwellers. This is reflected in their smaller furniture items and decorative items. However, it would be a mistake to assume that they are just another expensive furniture store because ,the quality of their products is exceptional. Highly recommend signing up for their email list, as it includes a 10% discount on your first purchase, and they will also notify you of upcoming sales. If you're in the market for Mid Century furniture or other high-quality home furnishings, West Elm has a vast selection.The employees at this store are curt and wont greet or help unless you specifically ask for it .

    Lance cabinet that arrived broken and west elm will not refund or give credit.

    I bought an open box medicine cabinet. It arrived broken. West elm will not refund it or offer credit so i am out $200+ and have a broken cabinet to send to the landfill. This review is not directed to the store on NW Couch. My purchase was made online.

    Planter I wanted to buy
    Vanessa C.

    Just tried to buy a planter that I didn't want to wait to be shipped. It was the last one in store apparently and there was a price on the bottom of it with no for display sign only anywhere on it and they would not sell me it. It is not a big deal in and out of itself but i specifically went to the store to see what was available. This pot was also on clearance. Honestly, I think it was racial. I was the only person no one greeted. I know because firstly I heard associates greet everyone. I then specifically went to the front desk to get some help and only then was I helped. I had a small planter I was going to buy. I asked who I was told later was the assistant manager that I wanted the planter up front. She grabbed the smaller planter and started looking up. I told her that I knew the price for that one but wanted to get the price for the other one. She then said, " I am checking the price for the bigger one". I then explained that I didn't think it was the same design. I'll give her credit for trying to hide her annoyance and she asked me to direct her to the planter. I did and then she said they didn't have any in stock. So I asked if I could buy that one. She said no and gave me a condencending smile with no explanation. Something seemed really off about the whole experience which is why after I left I came back to verify with someone else. I told her the woman at the counter had said there were no planters aside from that one and I couldn't buy it. At which point she said oh the manager said that? I asked," She is the manager?" She replied she was the acting manager for today...so again I'm getting really weird vibes about how she is answering the question. At this point I tell her I came phisically to the store because I wanted the pot today. She said management decided what was available for sale at the store or not. I told her I understood but it was weird because it was a sale item online, these kind of planters had been around for a while, and that there was nothing to differentiate it from things actually available for purchase. She clearly did not care and proceeded to patronize me with her previous explanations. I told her after she stated she understood my frustration, which she clearly did not, that it didn't take much effort to put up DISPLAY ONLY signs. Anyways I let her have the last word and left. Now I'm leaving this review. To upper management if you ever wonder why sales go down...this kind of service and lack of in-store products is why. Not everyone wants to shop online or put up with lousy service. Hard pass on their offshoot CB2 as well.

    Such a lovely store but they have the worst customer service with the rudest employees. You are better off shopping from their online store.

That could be pottery, clothing, art, furniture, tchotchkes, plants, or something else. Some get really creative with their booths, adding hanging decor or a fun layout. I had some sticker shock over pricing, but I'm sure there are deals to be found also. If I were looking for a special item I would certainly return here to search.

This place has both new and used items. We buy stuff every time we go. There is vinatage furniture, new art, used art, cool little chakis, chairs, purses, jewelry, antiques, clothing and great vintage finds. So much more as well! Some things are unaffordable for us and some are more reasonably priced. We found beautiful wood shelves that are stunning and bought them. They were exactly what we were looking for. We got a cool industrial console table abd other fool finds. I have bought a few nicknacks that I like and new art when they had a sale. Street parking is easy to find plus they have a parking lot. There are bathrooms. I would say the one thing I dislike is everything is a final sale. I mean absolutely everything. So I have not bought certain things in case they could not work where we want to put them or we were might want to use. Also for gifts since they are not returnable and want to give my gift receiver's that option. Some staff are more helpful than others. So it depends on who is working. This a good place to go if you are cool with final sales. Theycdo have grsat stuff.

I will say the store layout was a bit interesting, with some areas that felt more cramped. It was fairly crowded when we went, so I did have to squeeze by people to make my way through the store. I spent some time browsing the clothing section and found several items that caught my eye. The clearance section was a bit disorganized and the sizes were not labeled clearly unfortunately. Customer service at Muji was friendly and adequate. The staff working in the fitting room area were especially helpful. It would've been great to have more fitting rooms available, as the line moved slowly and took up a good chunk of time. You are also limited to bringing in 5 items at a time but you can swap out items as needed. I ended up purchasing multiple tops and a few pants for everyday wear. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to browse the homewares section but was pretty satisfied with my clothing purchases and shopping experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

The quality of the clothes looks to be on the higher end as well, with a lot of signature type styling. My purchase was rung up quickly and the cashier was also very nice & friendly!

I did purchase a few smaller items. The first was a felt coaster which is so perfect! They have an array of different colors - my choice was a gorgeous burgundy and I loved being able to buy just one. I have coasters for guests which is a whole set but for my daily iced drink covered in condensation, this is so perfect.

Vancouver Washington artist Claudia Moore makes the cards with foraged leaves and seeds. This is a great spot if you are looking for something unique as a gift or for your home.
