I LOVE WEST ELM.
There is always a sale, always clearance, and always options on regular items.
I had a fantastic shopping experience with Michaela (Makayla?) with blonde hair and glasses. She and the stock room employee (can't remember his name, maybe Jared) were extremely accommodating and patient, as well as friendly. They made shopping that much more enjoyable and satisfying.
A tip when shopping: go early in terms of when you actually want the furniture in your home. Depending on what is in stock, you can wait 1-10 weeks for delivery, which is a huge window. But if you love it, like anything else, it is worth it!
This is the only location in the Phoenix area. So fun to browse, even when you aren't ready to purchase!
