West Elm has a nice selection of transitional contemporary furniture and accessories. It's nice to have a new place to go to alongside the other chain type of furniture stores like Ikea, Crate & Barrel, Urban Barn, etc. What I really liked about WE is the service.
Upon walking in, we were greeted warmly by Jake. He asked us what we were looking and I told him the items on our long list. He was helpful without being intrusive. He popped up when we needed him and disappeared when we needed to discuss. He gave us info sheets on items we were seriously considering. He really took his time talking to us and asking about layouts and usage. And not once did we feel pressured to buy or make a decision. Best of all, he deduced that we were first time homebuyers and told us about a program WE has for us - 10-15% off if we buy multiple items. Jake was THE awesome.
We didn't buy anything from WE during this visit. But in two months, it's almost a guarantee that we will. All thanks to Jake.
