West Elm!
Don't get me wrong Ikea is fab too. I prefer the quality of West Elm and love all of their green, sustainable products. They have different price points.

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.

Both! 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.

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.
I plan on furnishing our house with stuff from Restoration Hardware/Joss and Main/Overstock!

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!

Ok, so I just googled west elm and I like it! But not really comparable to Ikea, because it's way more expensive.

@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!

Ikea all the way! 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.
