I work for West Elm. Almost every day for 8 soul crushing hours. Yes the furniture is shitty, expensive, and well herald. The "wood" is just a wood veneer or wood look laminate(this means they take a picture of wood and multiply it hundreds of times)on top of particle board(this is basicly crushed up wood chips, people). It chips off daily here. Most of the cotton is a poly blend. I tell the idiots it makes the sheets stronger (we all know THAT'S a lie). Yes it is truely designed for the first time, dumbstruck, empathetic apartment owners, who have never realized that the big, shiny, popular chainstore is handing them faded knockoffs of Eams Earl and George Nelson relics from their parents past(which, by the way I can find at my local thrift store for around $10). This is mass consumerism at it's best. First it was the volkswagon bug being stuffed down our throats, then it was good ole' Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac, now it's our grandma's furniture falling prey.
Go to a thrift store, go to the flea market. Get the real thing. Or have my fakely sweet smile staring you in the face, asking "Welcome to West Elm, how may I kiss your ass today, you poor dumb b^st^rd?"
