Psst: West Elm Has a Secret Outlet With Unbeatable Deals — Here’s What to Shop
West Elm is one of our favorite spots to shop for elegant, versatile furniture and decor that lasts a lifetime. Although we would happily shell out the big bucks for their timeless pieces, it’s scoring fabulous furniture on sale days that brings us the most joy. So, if you’re anything like us, you’ll probably want to know about this West Elm discovery: The Outlet Deals Section.
Chock full of amazing finds at some of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen, the outlet section is a mixture of items on super sale and “Open Box” pieces. Items that fall into the latter category, including furniture, bedding, and decor, have been previously unboxed, then returned due to minor blemishes, and now they’re ready for a new home. By blemishes, we’re talking hard-to-see scratches or slight wear. But don’t let that stop you — with some of these items on sale for as much as 60% off, they’re more than worth it.
