The Valentina Chair by West Elm comes in both a swivel and non-swivel version, priced $799 and $699 accordingly. It photographs pretty well with its soft looking “velvet” upholstery, slanted back and deep seat. So how does it far in the real life test? To start with, it looks kind of small. It is kind […]

The West Elm Industrial Storage Console is one of those items that has been with West Elm for as long as I can remember, and honestly, I think for good reason. It looks damn good, it goes well with a number of different decors, it’s sturdy, it’s functional. It has very few things to complain […]

For the sake of this review, I’ll put aside the fact that receiving our custom fabric Stella Mid-Century Loveseat took nearly 5 months, a dozen frustrating phone calls, and an ultimatum to a manager. After all, we did wind up getting it for a fraction of the original price due to the frustrations. Instead, we’ll […]
