i love visiting furniture stores and this one being close to my house is no exception in how often i visit it. it's definitely one of those stores that you cannot judge from the outside for it looks like it's pricy when in reality it's very affordable! i was pleasantly surprised when i first visited west elm for i wasn't looking for anything in particular yet i found some gorgeous candle holders for $20. I also managed to pick up some great quality bed linens at a reasonable price. the store itself has a fresh appeal, the furniture is modern and laid out stylishly. the staff here are friendly and not pushy. they are also knowledgeable with the products if you have any specific questions such as origin and what not.
they have great accessories such as interesting lamps, picture frames, kitchen knick knacks and quirky figurines. i like how they change it up every month to keep it interesting. it's a great place to visit!
