The West Elm Wire Frame Dining Chair comes in four different options: Velvet, “Upholstered” which features two fabric options, “Morse Dot” which is a third, patterned fabric option, and a Leather option.

West Elm’s Canto Quartz Dining Table is honestly lovely, and images on the West Elm website don’t really do it proper justice. We really love the look of the brilliant white, slender quartz composite top contrasted with the bronze finished metal base. Rounded corners throughout and a soft edge on the top combined with a […]

One of our favorite’s design-wise of the West Elm mid-century line, the media console comes in three possible finishes: Acorn (a lighter more natural and transparent finish), Dark Mineral (a dark brown which still shows grain), and white (paint, grain is still visible).

The West Elm Industrial Cantilever Dining Chair comes in both a leather version and a fabric version. Though we’re reviewing the leather version, we’ve seen the fabric version and like it nearly as much. The fabric isn’t quite the softest or nicest (it’s mostly polyester), but it cleans easily and that’s important in a dining […]

Quite literally none of the photos we’ve found of the Cast Trestle Dining Table online do it proper justice. Quality: For starters, your table top is made from big thick chunks of solid acacia which is a very hard hardwood and unlikely to see any kind of real wear even if you have a toddler […]

An eagle’s eye view of the West Elm Stone Tile Rug reveals this super cool, intricate pattern of lines and blocks, but you don’t need to be far away to appreciate this more than attractive member of the West Elm lineup. In fact, the first time I saw it in a West Elm store I […]
