C and I go there often just to walk around and escape the heat. I love putting the furniture together too. I don't like the West Elm prices at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-or-west-elm#post-943736 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:30:25 +0000 twodoghouse 943736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Walking through and looking at all the rooms set up is fun. But once we tried to pick out a piece of furniture that had all these customizable parts (drawers and shelves and cabinet door options and hardware) and I just couldn't deal with all the options. We went down on that lower level and it trying to make a whole piece of furniture out of all these different shaped boxes. I just couldn't get my brain organized enough to do it, haha. I guess I'm not cut out for the Ikea model! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-or-west-elm#post-943719 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:28:45 +0000 googly-eyes 943719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, so I just googled west elm and I like it! But not really comparable to Ikea, because it's way more expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-or-west-elm#post-943702 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:27:06 +0000 googly-eyes 943702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never even heard of West Elm. We go to Ikea for some things and used to have a lot of things from there simply because we couldn't afford nice furniture and had to get set up quickly in our last place. But I think with any place you don't want too much of one thing. Or at least I don't! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-or-west-elm#post-943615 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:17:41 +0000 chopsuey 943615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a West Elm across the street. I've gone in a few times, but I'm not in love with their stuff. Ikea is annoying because we have to build everything. </p> <p>I plan on furnishing our house with stuff from Restoration Hardware/Joss and Main/Overstock! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-or-west-elm#post-943550 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:10:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 943550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we had a West Elm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-or-west-elm#post-943540 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:09:07 +0000 fancyfunction 943540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I def prefer West Elm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-or-west-elm#post-943461 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:58:49 +0000 PurplePumps 943461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't shop at either but I prefer west elm items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-or-west-elm#post-943454 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:57:49 +0000 mlm2934 943454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: going to ikea is like a day at an amusement park for me...

Some things I want to invest in or I just love the style of at West Elm. Some things I know are an affordable option 'for now', or are well reviewed and a great quality at Ikea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-or-west-elm#post-943414 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:49:15 +0000 twodoghouse 943414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going in Ikea gives me anxiety. There's no West Elm near me. So most of my home decor comes from Target or local stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-or-west-elm#post-943409 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:48:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 943409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>West Elm!</p> <p>Don't get me wrong Ikea is fab too.
