Why Is West Elm Expensive?
Indeed, West Elm is popular, but with high-end price points, not every homeowner can afford a piece from the brand’s lineup. That can be credited to:
- Brand Family Line: West Elm’s connection to Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn elevates its status. All three brands stand out for their high-quality offerings and unique designs.
- Premium Materials: Many of West Elm’s furniture pieces are contract grade, meaning they’re built to last and made of premium materials, unlike budget furniture, which can is often made of plywood, cardboard, and particle board.
- Commitment to Sustainability: West Elm uses Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified, recycled, and upcycled materials and tries to create less waste. In fact, 52% of their wood furniture is sustainably sourced. As a result, materials used for West Elm furniture is less readily available, which adds to the overall cost.
- Sturdy Framework: Many of their couches feature hand-built frames with hand-finished upholstery.
