West Elm's New Issue

2004_8_20_west elm.jpgNew urban chic. While we have been out of the city during the last week and missing the catalogues, we were tipped off that West Elm's newest shows some good fresh design. West Elm, the youngest and smallest of the Williams-Sonoma clan, which includes Pottery Barn and Hold Everything, was established to appeal to us city folk with more urban, hip tastes. It also has prices that are so much lower than the rest of its clan... which is both good and bad. You have to be careful with what you buy as the quality ain't always very high.

That said, its about style. We like the new platform bed (pic above), the upholstered cutout chair, and the Metal top coffee table. And we like the new color palette, which is a little more sophisticated and classic than the summer colors. (Thanks, Patrick!) MGR

I love this new platform bed, but after all the horrible reviews about West Elm's beds breaking, I'm terrified of buying it! Any suggestions on whether or not I should get it?

sunny-

i can only say that i share your concern and am hoping that someone can give us their honest opinion. i would imagine if we don't hear anything, that no one out there in cyberspace is looking for a place to vent about these things.

good luck and please post if you wind up purchasing one. i'd like to hear about your experience with it should you decide to buy it.

Steven,
I had to do it, I'm going to buy the bed! ...and the low cubby table too. I just can't find anything else that looks as sophisticated and cool as that low platform bed. I'll definitely post some more info when I get it and if it worked out okay (please, please don't let it break!)!
