I'm so disappointed. I was told the new West Elm store (which just opened in the Metropolitan development) is similar to IKEA. Lies. West Elm has nice, hip furniture, bedding, dishes and home decor items, but it's WAY pricier than IKEA and more similar to the experience you'd have at, say, Pier One.
Parking and traffic flow at the Metropolitan are a huge problem. They need a traffic light at Charlettetowne and the new Metropolitan Avenue. It's impossible for anyone coming from West Elm, Best Buy, Trader Joe's, etc. to get out of the place and turn onto Charlottetowne. I'd suggest you avoid that road altogether and enter/exit on Kings Drive.
